Well, chime in and let's tally it all up.

Yea or Nay?

[Terpfen]

I feel that every American (including President Bush) that are in attendance at the Olympics are traitors to democracy and civilization.

I see you passed Hyperbole 101 with flying colors.

[raybbr]

Ummm....

I'm kind of interested...

[NCBraveheart]

I gave up watching the Olympics years ago. Once they allowed pros into the games and it became less about sports and more about PC crap. My protest against the Chicoms is just to ignore the whole thing.

[KoRn]

I have never cared about any Olympic event. The games aren’t interesting to me.

I’ll stick with the NFL and the MLB.

[johnny7]

Nay... too many of the sporting events look like they were made up while “tripping”.

[mad_as_he$$]

No one in this house will be watching one minute of it.

[avacado]

"I feel that every American (including President Bush) that are in attendance at the Olympics are traitors to democracy and civilization."

Utterly ridiculous!

The Olympics have always been about nations coming together for non political reasons to compete their athletes against one another. Bush did the right thing by going and not making the Olympics some dumb political statement.

People have trained their whole lives for this moment in time. And that is what it is about.

[Krankor]

It is every American’s patriotic duty to punch at least one Chinese kid a day!

[andyandval]

I am only interested in seeing China make an absolute fool of itself on the world stage.

I have not been disappointed.

[DieHard the Hunter]

This FReeper does not give a bloody blast about the ChiCom Olympics.

[svcw]

What?
Its not China's Olympics its the world Olympics being held in China.
I know Chinese in China and they do not hate America.
This is supposed to be an athletic event not political (ok I know it has gotten political).
I think you are over thinking this event and making it way to complicated.

[Petronski]

I would be interested in the games if I could see them. Unfortunately, NBC’s schizoid coverage prevents that.

[trisham]

I’m not watching them.

[McGruff]

Nay. It's gives NBC and China publicity. Too many events. There's a war going on. It's summer time....

[Always Right]

These commie bastards are our enemies. Each and every Chinese citizen (and I use that term citizen very euphemistically), each man, woman and child are enemies to the USA, the west, and basic civilization.

Sounds kind of bigoted to me. Most Chinese citizens love Americans. Sure their government sucks, but your statement is absurd.

[G.Mason]

Not interested in the least.

Forty plus years ago I enjoyed the Ruski's & Poles try to kill each other in water polo.

The bob sledders death defying slides for life were fun to watch also, but the steroids and black hand salutes spelled the death knell for me.

I will always remember, with great pride, George Foreman winning in 1968.

[piytar]

Yea. I want the US to go into their house and WIN. It’s a face thing.

[Will88]

“I feel that every American (including President Bush) that are in attendance at the Olympics are traitors to democracy and civilization. These commie bastards are our enemies.”

I think second only to their besotted affair with Mexico is the Bush family’s besotted affair with China. Of course, GHWB was ambassador to China, and as president, after the unpleasantness at Tienanmen Square, he promptly dispatched Brent Scrowcroft to assure the Commies that that little incident wouldn’t affect the GHWB suck-up policy toward China.

No real surprise the W would go to the Beijing Olympics as the first US president ever to attend an Olympics outside the USA. Just not impressed with this “engagement” policy toward China the US has followed since the Carter years. How’s it working so far?

And how is that crash Chinese military project coming along, the one to develop systems to defeat US carrier groups?

[Noumenon]

We won’t be watching. Smacks a little too much of 1936.

[CAluvdubya]

Every man, woman, and child in China is an enemy?

One too many cups of coffee this morning, dude...
