This is disgusting.

Please don't do it! It's so disgusting.

So. You want theCOOMUNIST symbology to be displayed on the Empire State Building. Such a waste their slick.

50 million, give or take 10 million , murders later,by the chicoms for their cause .
I thought the United States sacrificed thousands of our young in wars to fight communism . I am sure that I remember that. Maybe I have been hearing too much media and government education/indoctrination .
Will we ever make a stand again for freedom ?

Check out this clip from ABC's "Dancing with the Stars." Check out the Red/Yellow stage lighting, as well as the large RED banners with YELLOW STARS (where have you seen that before?)

Disgusting! In the wake of over 50 million lives killed at the hands of China's communist revolution, we are taking an icon of the free world and dressing it up in blood colors!

That is ridiculous. The empire state building should never have it's lights change for China or any other country.
This is outrageous.

That is ridiculous. The empire state building should never have it's lights change for China or any other country.

That is ridiculous. The empire state building should never have it's lights change for China or any other country.

It's only fitting we celebrate America's own recent communist revolution by honoring the Chinese who will someday be our overlords, I for one commend the owners of the building for their forward thinking to get on their goodside before they own the rest of our great nation outright!

Keep up the good work guys!

Incomprehensible. We know we have a Communist president. But there is no need to celebrate the genocide of Communist China into the bargain. What has America turned into? I don't remember this kind of honoring of mass murderer before the Obama administration, do you? It's time for this to end and it's time for Obama to step down.

LOVE COMMUNISTS

We know that China has pretty much bought out American. So, having the yellow and red lights on the empire state building, is their way of telling us that they own Wall Street. Okay, if that's what China thinks let them bail out wall street next time.
This makes you not want to buy another
thing from China. Let's all boycott China
products. That might show them that we still
have are freedom and can exericse are rights.

Don't do this, has New York gone crazy????
We should celebrate American history.

I'm sick and disgusted at the leadership in this country promoting communism and other embarrassing propiganda. Does no one have the intestinal fortitude to stand up for America and Americans anymore? We have become servants to the illegal aliens and now to the communist. OUTRAGIOUS!!!!!!

I laugh at the comments. Does our government really control the lights on the Empire State Building? New York is the "Empire" . Does New York tell the building managers what to do? Where's King Kong when we need him?

We give china billions a year in trade deals a year....Yeah I'm worried about some fucking lights.

Whoever decided to turn on the lights for China should be shot and sent to HELL.

We are a torture nation. Thats right boys and girls we torture, so why not worry about us? We've raped nations and people if not literally then figuratively. But really it seems to me that if we are so worried about a building making designs with its lights, we should stop buying Chinese. But you know what? That will be hard because our government doesn't want you talking to Cuba, another communist country, with a dictator we funded, but China oh thats fine. Instead of getting offended at the symptoms of a bad government look at the cause. Apathy, lack of interest in politics, because we don't want to offend. You know what if you draw breath, you have offended someone. Time to get the old opinion out their and stand up to our tyrannical, oppressive government. If you do your own research the g20 protest was fired on first. But since the protesters reacted the media had all they needed to say bad things about them. But if you like to be cattle, fine stop bitching. But if you want things to change, real change, you must get out and become what the government does not want you to become. Opinionated and active in the political process, you'll be dangerous to those that say you have to take this shot or lose your job. See their is much to worry about. So get off the building and go after out crappy government, and we can get justice, for the average American, instead of our government making and giving exceptions to the corporations. WAKE UP!

Lighting the Emprie State building to honor China is a national insult to all Americans and patriots that sacraficed in the fight against communism, tyranny, and human rights. Perhaps the owners should light the building with red and yellow fire instead?

We should just be grateful that China ALLOWS us to have it a different color for the other 364 days of the year.

RED AND YELLOW ON EMPIRE STATE BUILDING

IT SHOULD BE RED,WHITE AND BLUE , GOD BLESS AMERICA.

I agree with MK ULTRA. It is not just about the lights. The meeting of the G20 stated that they will not beable to put regulations
on the banks until 2012. Our congreeman took
the laws off the banks in 1999-2002. Putting
regulations back on the banks should have been priorty one. We would not have had a crash if the laws that were put in after the great depression were still in place.

Niall Ferguson Professor at Harvard unvi.- teachs financial history. He Had a great article in Newsweek (week of sept 21). You really need to check it out.

The World Financial Forum, wants us to be one world. You really need to read the agenda of these international global groups. The internationalist oraganizations are planning on being the new world order. (One World)
If they have thier way, we will have a government that serves the global elites and
not the people. This is why the lights on
the empire building do not mean anything to
them-- it is just part of doing business.

Empire state building should be RED,WHITE, AND BLUE
GOD BLESS AMERICA

NOT RED AND YELLOW, 60 YRS,COMMUNIST CHINA

This is like spitting in the face of all the Chinese people who have died as a result of communist China's policies. The image of the student standing in front of the tanks in Tiananmen Square should be projected onto the building as a reminder...its amazing how many people forget. But communism is just so chic these days.

What a major slap to the veterans of WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.....

this is a major slap to the many veterans who fought and died or were maimed for life in WW II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War...not to mention the insult to the thousands of Jews murdered under their goverment.

It is an absolute insult that a foreign, evil regime like the Chinese Communist Party is being honored in America. Not to mention, with the aid of a New York City landmark.

The Chinese Communist Party is responsible for nearly 80 million deaths of innocent Chinese people. From the purges, to the Anti-Rightist movement, to the failed Great Leap Forward, to the Cultural Revolution, to the genocide against Uighar Muslims, underground Christians, and Falun Gong (which is still happening today at break-neck speed), this regime in China is a diabolical.

It is an absolute travesty to honor such evil on American soil and spits in the face of every dissident who has had to flee that murderous regime in order to seek asylum elsewhere.

What the hell is happening to this country of ours that now we're honoring foreign evil dictatorships on our soil?

Is this what our Korean War and Vietnam War veterans died for?

Disgusting to honor the mudders and rapests of mordern evil empire China. Empire is lighted for thanking killing Tibetans, monks,nuns, Chinese, Uighers, Mangolians and innocent people. Raping Tibet and its people. They do not have better to do.

You are honoring for torture and rape China did ot Tibetans and other minorities.

F.....you.

That is absolutely DISGUSTING. Who is responsible for making that decision.

COME PROTEST TOMORROW. @ 9AM. in front of Empire State Bldg.

Why not use traditional pink for "pinko's"?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T DO IT !

Celebrating death of millions of people under communist china during last 60 years!?

The red light will mark the blood of those (Tibetan, Uygur, Falun Gong and Chinese students) who died under brutal Chinese occupation.

I have no words to express my resentment.

That's not strange since President Obama has been making America "socialim". It's clear that many Americian politicians take Mainland China the banker of the United States. For money, they ignore whether China is controlled by Communist Party or not. As an old Chinese saying says:"The one who has milk is the mother". But it is very dangous that America is making closer relationship with Communist Party. The true fact is whoever has closer relationship with Communist Party, he/she will lead himself/herself or his/her people to hell.

Are you kidding us???? Just heard this on Greta Van Stustren and we are livid!!!! Since when did America start commerating communisiom? Who is responsible for this and are they CRAZY? Yes, we do business with China, but business is one thing, our belief system is another. Remember 9/11? Communist China provides weapons to the terrorists along with all the other junk they make their poor slave labor peddle. Please, make this right New York, it's the U.S.A. Empire State building, not the world's Empire State building.

Were so mad when we wrote this, didn't even spell commununism right but that's beside the point. Still so mad we can't see straight. We lived through Communist Russia and Krushhev, we lived through the Viet Nam war and Korea. Our fathers both fought in WW II for FREEDOM!! We remember what communisum does to people. It's pathetic that we would honor it.Remember Nazi Germany? Read your history books, people!!! We all participated in the Bejing Olympics and were treated mostly with respect (I wasn't there, but that's what I've heard). We should all learn a lesson from our athletes. We have lived our lives by the "Golden Rule" -- do unto others as you would have others do unto you. And that is NOT the communist creed.

Still too upset to spell communism right. Come on NEW YORK!! Stand up for your great city. I've been there and I loved it. It is indeed a one of a kind city. I went to the top of the Empire State Building and loved standing outside looking out over New York City. SOOOOOOO sad that I didn't get there before they took out the Twin Towers, but I saw the lights shining up into the night sky where they used to be and my heart broke for all those families who lost loved ones the terrorists took that day. I'm not saying that China is directly responsible for the atrocity, but WAKE UP, America, before it's too late and we're all calling each other "commrad".

I live in OK and I am disgusted by this.
I feel like a traitor for not driving up there and protesting. If I protest around here though people won't even know or care. :(

I live in the Panhandle of Texas and if we don't start standing up and protesting we WILL lose our country. We've got to start somewhere. My 91 year old mother lives in Norman, OK and I'm worried to death of what all this will mean for her. It's time to speak up AMERICA!!! If we don't protest, people will never know or care. We have kids and grandkids to think about. Let's fight for them!!!

The Statue of Liberty is crying....

It is all about money people. China is buying its public display. This is how they do it. They don't care about public opinion, they just care about face. If they can't get face by working for it they will certainly buy it and if they can't buy it the will force it on you against your will, unless you rise up against them, then they will just back off. We aren't backing off in the USA, our leaders are hugging them and saying sorry everytime they get their feelings hurt. We should treat them like another nation and give them that much respect but we don't need to kiss their butts.

too bad turning on the lights aint gonna get us any more t.bonds sold! AHH!! OMG!! THEY ARE TURNING ON THE LIGHTS!! Fucking hell, that is the reason why this country is going downhill. Thanks for the contribution peeps!

Are the managers of the building crazy? Why would anyone want to celebrate China and Communism? I strongly object to this. Please cut off these lights.

Fun facts:

-The NGO Human Rights in China is in that building! Awkward!

-This is obviously bad PR in the US, so there must be some business to be done in China.

-I'd be more comfortable with all red (blood of martyrs, when no one knew Mao would come up with the Great Leap Famine and the Cultural Revolution.

-No idea what the yellow is, though wikipedia says they either copied USSR or it could mean the Tang Dynasty, which was probably a human rights violator, but since it ended 1,100 years ago, no worries.

Really wonder what Chinese and Chinese Americans in New York think about this. Not always the most pro-PRC group.

I wanna puke.

I wanna puke.

I haven't seen the crazies this angry since the last time Roy did a piece on birthers.

Yeah, yeah. Outrage from the left is always righteous, and ffom the right it's all ObamaHitler. You're a big bore,Mr. Edroso.

Not only is Roy a bore, he writes dull songs as well.

The actions of the ESB management is very offensive. WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the cold war, all have been about PREVENTING the spread of communism.
Why is one of the most iconic building in the US participating in "celebrating" communist rule in China?
Unbelievable.

Capitalism - there is nothing money cannot buy - even the the heart and soul of America! I am not against the true meaning of communism but to celebrate the PRC's takeover of the people of China and beyond? Truly disgusting. The capitalists who owns the Empire State Building ought to re-consider. There is something greater than the dollar!

King Kong would turn in his grave ! This is despicable ! What is wrong with the US ? Crawling up the ass of the Chinese ? Where will this lead your nation ? You are already in deep shit !

At last it has happened. The wingnuts have stumbled across this blog.

The Empire State Building - Official Website

Wait till you read the "Nine Commentaries of the Communist Party" published The Epoch Times. Then you'll be truly outraged and disgusted with the lights!!

Your site was extremely interesting, especially since I was searching for thoughts on this subject last Thursday.

I think the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Nazi Party is coming up too. Maybe we could drape the Statue of Liberty in a Swastika flag to commemorate that!

The PC level in this country has now officially reached intolerable.

There appears to be a mix up.
Beautiful red lighting at the top of the Empire State Building signifies Valentine's Day.
So, to this I ask....
What in the world are you thinking?

I would like to ask the supporters of this bizarre homage why an American building should be used to celebrate the communist takeover of China, which resulted in the death of AT LEASE 60 million Chinese. Is this a cause for celebration? Or for mourning?

To all the Jack Azzes blaming this on the goverment. A fact you may not know. Obama personally filled each bulb with blood of aborted babies and the bulbs are lit with the souls he stole from the children during his school indoctrination speech.

Aren't we supposed to be against Communism? Since when have Mao, Stalin, and Lenin been acceptable? I guess some people don't know the history of Communism!!

This is a disgrace to our nation! Who's bright idea was this anyway? Shame on who ever thought this one up. Should be something we could do about it or at least email someone about it.

This is just a sample of what is to come. We're in for a long haul. God help us before it's too late.

The colors of red and yellow are also those of the Hawaiian royalty, and I, for one, would rather honor King Kamehameha of Hawaii than a bunch of Chinese communists, so when I see pictures of the world's most famous skyscraper(and MY favorite building!) in those colors I'll just say the Empire State Building is honoring Hawaii's greatest monarch and our 50th state on the 50th anniversary of statehood(1959-2009)!

What better way to commemorate not only the insurmountable debt Democrats have now enslaved us to China with, but also the violent shove Obama is giving this country into full-blown socialism...than to deface one of our greatest national icons with a light show honoring the bloody takeover of tyrannical Communist butchers there?

Obama must have worked out a deal where China will display a huge American flag with red, white and blue lights on July 4th. Think so?

Hell, China probably owns the Empire State Building anyway....they own everything else.

I AGREE THIS IS DISGUSTING AND SO WRONG...WHERE IS OUR COUNTRY GOING TO...

ummm... didn't a Japanese consortium buy a majority share of the Empire state building in the 80s?

The building hasn't been "American" for years.

Just be happy it doesn't fly the flag of Japan for the other 364 days of the year.

"Brilliant idea"-whoever thought of this will probably get the Presidential medal of freedom awarded to them by this president. Do the Chinese own this building?

This is a great idea! Let's celebrate

When you, the multitude, unwittingly, uneducated, or not, have elected and given a leader permission to control and sell out America, you are going to have to accept responsibility, and suffer the dire consequences.

What's the fuss? The Chinese probably own the building. If not, we certainly owe them a lot of money, and what is the harm of a little light show? Stop sound like a bunch of sore losers and start saving and stop borrowing so much from the Chinese. Then, we may b!tch all we want.

Funny how PRC is a considered problem, while ok for Israeli colors to be lit in June for "Salute to Israel Day." Israel has a long and despicable record of human rights violations and apartheid/racism.

The Republicans claim to be outraged, but who is responsible for our jobs being moved to China? Republicans. Beginning with Nixon. Peter King has worked his whole life to turn Americans into slaves. He claims to hate communism, but he wans the USA to be a totalitarian state, where all but he and his cronies live in mud huts. The ONLY U.S. president to stand up to the Communists was JFK.

There is a reason why my family defected from China in the 1950's. The torturing and murdering hasn't stopped. Five thousand years of history and culture destroyed. Celebrate what??!! Shamelessness is in vogue, is it? Where is human dignity? Last year, torturing and murdering Tibetans is an Olympic event. This year, torturing and murdering Uighurs has become a past-time for this evil regime. Over ten years of torture and murder of Falun Gong practitioners has not abated. Whatever happened to conscience? This must not be "business as usual". It is not Americans that live in fear. It is the members of the evil regime that fears the most. Why do Americans cater to their whims and needs? The evil government is afraid because people in China are starting to wake up from the propaganda. When will Americans see the truth of this matter?

If the colors were changed for Israel, the Moonbat Drivel Left would howl like the anti-Semetic Nazis that they are.

But hey, it's China and they're not White, so let's do praise of their hegemony! Sure they killed millions in Tibet, thousands at Tianemmenan Square and forcibly put millions of children into child labor, they're Ccmmunist.

The Obama nutter loves them almost he does the Saudi family.

Wow, you kidding me, right? China is still under a COMMUNIST ONE party rule, Empire State building find it important to "honor" a communist flag?

Hanging a Nazi flag on it would most likely NOT be OK, what makes them think "honoring" communism that killed hundreds of millions is OK?

If they love communists so much, maybe the owners and their family of Empire State building would visit one of those re-education labor-slave-rape camps and enjoy a 10 year tour of communism.

If only you all would get angry at real crimes, instead of just dumb symbolic shit like this. Then we could maybe get something done.

It is apparent that Chairman Obamas true colors are being shown to the American People as a blatant show of Solidarity with the Socialists, communists and Dictators of the World. We have lost America, I hope that this is the HOPE and Change that the Obama followers were looking for as this is just the beginning!!

I cannot believe what has been happening to our country. Buy American? Where? I can barely find a product made in our country. Our USA has sold out to countries of the world. Have the liberals gone completely mad? We have lost America due to you left wing liberals. Obama supporters and left wing democrats, I hope that you are happy and will enjoy the future of socialism/communism in the USA. Oh! As to the management of the Empire State Building on controlling your light display... This is the United States of America. Red, white and blue should be your only colors of choice to display. Think "American"!!!!!!!!!!

where was the outrage when your boy bush was selling America piece by piece to the Chinese to pay Blackwater to kill Iraqis?

get the fuck out you whores.

where was the outrage when your boy bush was selling America piece by piece to the Chinese to pay Blackwater to kill Iraqis?

get the fuck out you whores.

where was the outrage when your boy Bush was selling America piece by piece to the Chinese to pay Blackwater to kill Iraqis?

and I know you sloppy fucks dont want Obama to start telling people what color lights they can use on their privatley owned buildings, that's a slippery slope to mandated Christmas light guidelines,

WAKE UP 'MURIKA!!!!

"When you, the majority, unwittingly, uneducated, or not, have elected and given a leader permission to control and sell out America, you are going to have to accept responsibility, and suffer the dire consequences."

ok will do, now run back to your cave before you miss your mullah Glenn Beck...

WHEN ARE AMERICANS GOING TO STAND UP FOR SOMETHING. UNDER BUSCH THIS WAS ALL IMPLANTED NOW OBAMA IS MAKING SURE IT GETS DONE.....WE THE PEOPLE THAT'S ALL I'LL SAY.
THAT DANG ON FLAG COLOR HAS NO PLACE HERE. BUT GUESS WHAT WE ALL BUY GOODS MADE IN CHINA AND WE ALLOW OUR JOBS TO GO THERE AND LEAVE OUR OWN FREINDS AND FAMILIES WITHOUT ANY ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY HERE IN THE US... EVERYTHING IS ALMOST MADE IN CHINA....WAKE UP PEOPLE...ITS MORE TO THIS

This is disqusting. News just said the lighting displays are for sale.
Wonder how much the building mgr got for this display?

I am a Chinese. It's so interesting to see such hysteria here.

ahahahaha FUCK TIBET!

It breaks my heart to think of amy friends that died in the Vietnam war to help fight against Communism...does this mean they died in vain?

all these red neck shit heads complaining and bitching like liberals should realise that we chinese are currently the only economicly viable reasons for building the freedom tower.

a chinese estate firm right now are the only confirmed commercial tennants for the building. so unless you want the site to remain a heap of scaffolding, shut the fuck up. and welcome to the 21st century, age of globalisation

and capitalist reforms

Is this the Hope and Change we asked for ????

Jeez folks, wake up and smell the effing coffee. The Japanese can buy the Empire State building. The owners of the Empire State building can make the windows red to celebrate China if they want. Everything and everyone is for sale and the owners are not necessarily American. That's the effect of the Capitalism you love so much. Your city, your job and your life are just commodities-- to the rich.

I would say, "get with the reality of today", but that's not even it. These realities have been with us for decades. If you can't face the reality of the 21st century, then how about you try to get with the reality of the *Twentieth* Century. You don't like your building being bought by the heathen Chinese? Then why don't you buy it back from them morons?! Why don't you look around you a little bit and realize that this is nothing new? And instead of getting hysterical, why don't you realize that this is how free trade works?

the chinese could easily sell enough goevernment bonds to buy the empire state building because they are more pro-capitalism than the u.s. at this point.

maybe its a gesture of appreciation to china for all the money we borrow?

Shame on CCP. Disgusting.

well what did you expect with the democratic, oh im sorry, the COMMUNIST party of america with the majority of congress and the presidency?

shame on USA!

The Communist Party of China does not represent the people of China, they represent themselves. They will do everything to advance their politics. They care nothing for US values of liberty etc. They joined the UN to push themselves,,what about the first ammendment, they must have signed up to it..every man born equal? Try telling that to the police in Beijing today,,haha! 60 million killed in 60 years, that's I million a year! Great achievement,,congrats all round. Empire State? Unbelievable!!

I wish Roy had given some kind of opinion instead of just finding the whole thing amusing. Usually this column gives some rationale for its position.

Why would he need to give a rationale for his position? No rationale is needed, as the whole thing is just so dumb. The situation is just inherently dumb and hilarious.

Joan says:
Fox News takes a lot of heat for anything going on ie, town hall meetings, march on Washington,lights on the empire state bldg.
We are able to think for ourselves we don't need Fox to tell us what to do. Wake up. Fox is the only one that tells us what is going on. The 'fringe media' tells you nothing. I think it is an insult to every American and all the men and women who have fought for our freedom to celebrate a community country that treat their own people horribly. This is one American that is going to stand up for the truth. Enough of what Washington tells us. They don't get it. Some do, most don't. They work for us well it is election time soon. Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready.

So, are all the misspellings original to the blast fax y'all got?

Get used to it my American friends, we are taking over. :] (And it would not be as painful if you try less to resist，)

Regardless of the current "government rule" a country has, it's all about economic status and power. These fools who are typing America is becoming "Communist" is living unrealistic mind.

Americans, as a fellow American, I am not defending Chinese, but you do realize it's the Chinese who is revitalizing our economy, who owns TRILLIONS of American debt???

Read economic/business news, absorb, think, then talk about Empire State colors.

FYI, they have blue and white lights when its an Israeli holiday
