Oh, and Arno, I wish we could concentrate on the athletes but mbc, ect., won’t let that happen as they are all in the tank for obama. Get real. Their hatred of our President transends any competition and accomplishments unless they are from another county.

The olympics are about the thrill of competition and not a political statement. This year we can really focus in on the athletes themselves and their accomplishments. It is a time of peace, not politics.

This is the essay where:
No terror attacks, of course – that would be tragedy. Rather, I wish for nothing but the worst for the Chinese government, the International Olympic Committee, NBC, and the insufferably arrogant International Olympic “movement” that touts the games as proof that rather than being “Killer Angels,” mankind is, in fact, capable of playing nice with each other.

So Rick wishes but will not toss the bomb. He wishes nothing but the worst, but no terror attacks! Your way out if you chose to fulfill Rick’s inchoate desire: “Phht! That was nothing!”

Rick please define the worst thing but not a terrorist attack? Come clean!

Your reading comprehension skills need improvement. Low ratings for NBC? Embarassing protests for the Chinese government.?

You really are a dick, aren’t you?

I really hope NBC’s ratings fall into the gutter for several reasons:

a) As revenge for their increasingly far-left and anti-American, anti-Israel, pro-Islamist tilt. And they are so totalitarian in that world view that I’m sure they’ll find a way to work it into their coverage at every opportunity.

b) Politics aside, their coverage gets worse and worse every time — more sob stories than Oprah could ever dream of. An hour of their coverage is 25 mintues of commercials, 30 minutes of sappy stories (in NBC’s world, forget about publicity if you are an Olympic athlete who did not overcome poverty, cancer, racism, sexism, homophobia or a broken home), and 5 minutes of taped competition whose results you already know.

It’s coverage designed for liberl/left women, so no wonder fewer and fewer men watch with each Olympiad.

B.Poser, they not only have the chinese govt. organizing it but they will have msnbc, abc, abc, ,cnn, cbs, ect. This will look good for obama as he is leader of the world in their eyes.
Usually only watch the opening ceremony cuz I gotta see what we are wearing and how loud we get booded (sp). Don’t know why I subject myself to this each time.
Its pitiful when the athletes are told not to go outside, to practice indoors and wear masks.
Thanks alot IOC, WHAT LOONS. !!!!!!

I’m with you on this olympics thing. This post is spot on!!

During the olympics I expect to see massive displays of anti-Americanism. These protests will focus on America’s foreign policy, its “racisim”, its environmental policy, and any thing else they can think of. These protests will appear to be spontaneous but, in fact, they will be organized and led by the Chinese govnernment and Chinese intellegence services. This will be done becuase they hate America and it will take the spot light off of their own activities. After all few American or Western European journalist can resist the opportunity to bash America.

I hope and pray the US government is prepared for this and that they are prepared to counter this. Unfortunately given the feeble attempts of the American government to counter anti-Americanism, in the past, I hold out little hope that they will mount an effective response to the anti-American public relations campaign by the Chicoms. I pray I’m wrong of course.

They could have the Olympics on planet Nirvana, and I would’nt watch it. I’m goddamn sure not to watch it in communist China.

Shame on Bush for attending. Shame on anybody for watching.
