ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., is calling on President George W. Bush to boycott the opening ceremony at the Olympics this summer.
First reported on the Drudge Report, Clinton's call for a boycott specifically cites China's reaction to recent violence in Tibet and inaction in Darfur.
"The violent clashes in Tibet and the failure of the Chinese government to use its full leverage with Sudan to stop the genocide in Darfur are opportunities for Presidential leadership," Clinton said in a written statement.

Klinton making the play for Moonbat vote. May help her in Oregon and that’s about it. All other such States are already out of the way. Although her campaign has decided to fight for the youth-vote. So it could help her elsewhere as well.....I guess.
Hillary was in the Olympics once, wasn’t she? Didn’t she win a bronze medal for the 100-yard lie?
Hillary is fuming that President Bush’s poll numbers will be high during the Olympics because everyone will be happy watching the competitions. Bush will be able to use the bully pulpit to campaign for John McCain. The DemRATS nominiating process will be a back story during the games.
Thanks. I did quite a few searches - could find nothing. Sorry, folks. ;-)
Jeez... she’s calling him out to do the right thing.
Bizarro World, here we come.
“Didn’t she win a bronze medal for the 100-yard lie?”
No. It was the gold medal.
My apologies for brutally disagreeing with you.
But I know am correct! : )
Just like Iraq, she demands action, knowing such action will never come to pass, nor will she ever need to deal with the consequences.
I think it was the Great One who said that we should either boycott it completely or if we didn’t, the prez should be there for the athletes; half-arsed didn’t cut it - so of course, that’s what Hillary wants.
She needs to boycott herself! It's killing her.
I don’t see how this benefits anybody...except Hillary.
Since the chinese are big with face and all that, this is a great time to pull them aside, and tell them they need to step up and do x, y, and z or we’ll make an example of you. But to openly say it now is of no benefit to anyone
On this, the Gorgon is right. Bush should NOT be going to Bei-jing. But he has to. The Chicoms are paying for his wars.
Bush should go to the Olympics. It’s common courtesy. We don’t need to fuel the flames of Chinese nationalism by boycotting the Beijing Olympics.
An Olympic boycott would only strengthen the hardliners in China’s government, and also seal public opinion in China against the West. There are more Chinese under 18 than the entire population of the US. It’s foolhardy to gain 24 hours of ego and harden the opinions of an entire generation of Chinese.
Pelosi, Clinton, Carter and the rest of Democrats are a bunch of intellectual dimwits.
