While I wish I could feel sorry for Gosper, there is just one problem. Every time he opens his mouth, he seems to be defending or at least speaking for the Chinese government. Yesterday, for example, in response to criticism about the Internet censorship he said "that we are not working in a democratic society, we’re working in a communist society." He continued by stating that "this is China, and they are proud to be a communist society." Really? Did the IOC not know that China was a proud "communist society" when it bestowed the Olympics upon Beijing eight years ago or is this another surprise? Let me guess. China also promised the IOC that it would become "a democratic society" just in time for the Olympic Games, right? Forget about China being a proud communist society. Mr Gosper and the IOC are apparently proud to be associated with the Chinese Communist Party. After all, they are defending the Chinese government’s censorship policies much better than the CCP ever could have dreamed of doing itself.

The phrase "proud to be a communist society." goes right along with that photo montage of Chinese toilets we saw posted on FR the other day.
Sorry FRiends, it's early and I'm not going to start your day off with a photo montage of Chinese toilets. Reread "proud to be a communist society." again, it's just as good.
Who? I have not nor will I give any attention to CHINAS Olympics because they, in no way, represent what the Olympics should be about.
“this is China, and they are proud to be a communist society.”
Maybe he should tell that to the citizens in the re-education camps or better yet to the brothers of the dead monks!

Well, if an outright Marxist wins HERE in November then I'm not going to be overly proud of this democracy that produced him.
Use to be we all watched as much as we could of Olympic coverage.
Now it has become little more that commercials for the netowrk and a propaganda tool for the host, in this case the chi-com nazis.
I’m not a big fan of the olympics to begin with, but I’m certainly not going to watch this one. Thank God I’ve got golf, baseball and most importantly the NFL to watch.
I’m curious, is Freerepublic.com on the list of censored websites who’s content is objectionable by the Chicoms?
No. I am in China and use FreeRepublic.com all the time.
