While many Democrats for political reasons are calling upon President Bush to boycott the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Peking many DUmmies as well as other Democrats really think the U.S.A. should be BANNED from the Olympics altogether. All those millions of Chinese who were starved to death by Mao during the Great Leap Forward? No big deal according to the DUmmies when compared to the massive crimes of the U.S.A. as you can see in this mea culpa THREAD titled, "Should the U.S. be banned from The Olympics?" How much you want to bet that this DUmmie also has no problem with Cuba, North Korea, or Zimbabwe? So let us now watch the DUmmies again beat up on America in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering if it is NOW okay to question their patriotism, is in the [brackets]:
Should the U.S. be banned from The Olympics?
[Most DUmmies will answer that in the affirmative.]
Let's criticize the US war criminals first, whose horrific crimes dwarf those of the Chinese. After we assign blame and punish the criminals responsible for Iraq, the Vietnam War, countless US atrocities in South and Central America etc., we can discuss wrongdoing by the Chinese government, which pales in comparison. Maybe the U.S. should be banned from the Olympics for War Crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan?
[Ranted DUmmie Orwellian_Ghost who tossed all rationality down the Memory Hole. And now to hear from his DUmmie cheerleaders...]
yes. We have lost any moral authority to criticize any other country for their crimes against humanity.
[Replied DUmmie Horse with no Name who should be renamed Loon with no Brain.]
Not sure if we should be banned, but there should certainly be protests against us when we land in Beijing. Unless a democrat in November changes our foreign policy we shouldn't be awarded the Chicago olympics in 2016.
[Only a Democrat elected in November can mitigate our "crimes."]
Sweden - Vikings, they're out
[I can forgive Sweden for their Viking raids but not for assaulting our ears with ABBA nor for insulting our sensibilities with the Absolut ad showing most of the Western USA as part of Mexico.]
I rather that the Olympics was banned from the US. Olympics is not the same what it use to be.
[Yeah, the athletes don't compete nekkid like they used to back in the good ol' days.]
The poster probably thinks Russia under Stalin was less brutal than the US as well
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]
The US has some black spots on its history but to even try to make us equivalent to Russia or China shows a shocking ignorance of history.
[You're still here? I guess the tombstoning process is in a slow mode today.]
I call bullshit on that. The U.S.A. and Capitalism have killed way more people.
[Countered a DUmmie backed up by NO facts as usual.]
Stalin's 20 million is pretty widely accepted adding the famine and the purges together along with those who died in the labor camps. 1 million is for those actually executed. I took a course where we studied the Great Leap Forward and its effects. 50 million is not an absurd guess. 20 million is conservative for Mao and that relates to just the Great Leap Forward. His political executions are extremely numerous over the years.
[May I call the caterer for your tombstoning ceremony? I think he can provide a chopped liver mold of Joe Stalin's head as the centerpiece.]
Anti-communists tend to exaggerate the numbers. Adding in famines and stuff like that just inflates the numbers. I'm not saying that these guys weren't murderers. I tend to be skeptical of the sources and their agenda.
[But not the least bit skeptical when some leftwing loon rants nonsense about America.]
In any case the greater point in this instance is not only the blatant hypocrisy by the US at even hinting towards a boycott but also the terrible fawning that is currently occuring by the so-called "progressive" comunity over Tibet when we hear nothing about Somalia, The Congo, Haiti- to name a few- which make Tibet look like a walk in the park.
[And exactly WHAT crimes are we committing in Somalia, the Congo, and Haiti? Most Americans prefer to AVOID those places like the plague.]
You have nothing to support the US as the "greatest purveyor of violence" position. The US payed in blood twice to stop European megadeath.
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]
30 million+ dead female infants in China. Killed because of China's one baby policy and senseless gender discrimination. Now a demographic time bomb as whole cities of poor men, unable to find brides, spring up. 30 million men who have no prospects for love, family or happiness.
[I'm predicting a massive gayness plague will sweep over China.]
There has to be a way to protest the government war crimes without punishing the people or the athletes.
[Remember Not One Damn Dime Day?]
Of course the UK and Canada and Australia, to name a few should be banned if we are to be consistent.
[But NOT Cuba nor North Korea if we are to be consistent with DUmmie non-logic.]
I don't believe in banning countries from the Olympics, but since the US is not a nation, but a Corporate Conglomerate, I would have no problem with it.
[May we NOW question your patriotism?]
Not Just The Olympics. The US should of course be banned from the Olympics. The Olympics are where the civilized nations of the world get together to compete. The US has shown, by its unconscienable actions in Iraq and elsehwere, that it is outside the norms of civilized nations. But the US should also lose its seat on the UN Security Council. The US should lose its vote in the UN General Assembly. The US should be kicked out of NATO. All decent nations should immediately sever their diplomatic ties with Washington. Washington is in the grips of a rogue regime that lies and wages murderous wars of occupation. It is a pariah. And it should be treated as such.
[And you'll be the first to turn into a crybaby if I dare to question your patriotism.]
Hey, I resemble that remark!
Hey, I resemble that remark!
Here I agree. At least the TV coverage is not what it used to be. (I refer to the over-the-air coverage, since we don't get cable.) I can't watch it. The focus is less on the sports and more on the fluffy features. The coverage now is geared toward female viewers, and it bores me. I used to enjoy watching the Olympics back in the '60s and '70s, but not lately.
RACIST!
DUmmie stevenumbers Syndrome.
"U.S.A.! U.S.A.! In your FACE, Russia and China!"
The Mao the merrier.
As opposed to you pro-Communists.
I'm not saying that these guys weren't murderers.
Sure, they killed their millions, but c'mon!
Punish our government officials instead. Make them watch those dumb "up close and personal" features on teenage gymnasts.
Better yet, ban ALL countries, since they all have done something wrong somewhere.
Sure they killed millions, but c’mon! they were working toward a socialist utopia and those people got in the way!
Oh, and another thing. You might think it’s an insult to accuse someone on the left of pro-Communism, but, in the words of one Code Pinko member
“what’s wrong with communism?”
Yes, send the whole US of KKKA to The Hague!!! The whole country!
"God D*MN America!"
Obama's pastor checks in. . . .
My last eBay experience turned into a nightmare. I had the right idea on buying and selling books. However, I relied on my friend Ken. He is a good guy but sometimes he is clueless. For example, he confused UPS with USPS. As a result he pissed off all the buyers who were expecting a UPS shipment instead of by mail. Then he shipped the books in large PAPER envevlops. A big no-no. On top of all that he sent his password to "PayPal" when he got an email requesting it. As a result the Russian mafia kept emptying his PayPal account.
Fortunately all transactions were done in his account which means NO negative feedback for me. Only him. I remain an eBay virgin with 100% positive feedback. I'll probably do the book routine again but this time SOLO.
I was pleased to see the “troll” posts in this DU thread, smacking the OP around for the “US is so terrible” attitude. Cripes, if one WERE to ban the US, how many other nations would make the cut? Switzerland and who? Oh, wait, they probably bought sweatshop-made ski bindings. NO ONE!
You’re on a roll on this thread!!!
Should I book a good hotel room before they are all filled up? Wouldn't want to have to room with 4 stinky hippies in a yute hostel.
Does this mean that the U.N. will be relocating to another country and we won't have to pay the bills? We also won't have to deal with many of the world's ambassadors that plead diplomatic immunity on everything from parking tickets to murder.
