NBC ratings through the roof

Whatever I think of the Chinese, they put on a fantastic show! Its the best opening ceremony I've seen and I've seen 'em all!

Guess some folks have more patience then I do -— and virtue is my specialty!

[Always Right]

I watched about two minutes. The ceremony looked better than most, but I couldn’t stand spin from the pro-commie announcers.

[TheWasteLand]

I didn’t watch any of it. Doubt I’ll watch any of the rest of the Olympics.

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

These Olympics are more popular than I thought they would be. There is definately a buzz.

[kbennkc]

And to think they put on the whole show with crap made in China . Would you buy a Chinese made carabiner ?

[Cementjungle]

The opening ceremony was quite splendid, a very nice show indeed. But, that’s probably all I’ll really watch.

An 18.5 share is through the roof?

Snort.

[bravo whiskey]

food network is on most of the time in this house. not even watching the commie games.

[Always Right]

I still like the Olympics and don’t view China as our worst enemy, but I did not like our announcers whitewashing the symbolic propaganda that was on display.

Ditto. Haven't watched the 'Olympics' in years...haven't missed a thing.

I watched because I heard Bush 41 and 43, Laura and daughter, Barbara were going to be attending the opening ceremony as well as many others such as Putin (with the Georgia thing going on!) and Sarkozy. I was curious to watch it all go down and did laugh at the propaganda machine a few times.

The ceremony was fantastic.....a real gem!

[Argus]

Did nobody else find the opening ceremony a tad more Leni Riefenstahl-esque than usual even for these mass extravaganzas?

[Tzimisce]

See - a constant left wing message really can be popular. :)

[indcons]

You’re right.....it was a well scripted propaganda piece - start to finish.

[KantianBurke]

Sad to think that the Tianamen Square massacre footage probably didn’t generate a 10th of the same number of viewers. Guess we know where the average person’s priorities lie.

[Hacklehead]

“See - a constant left wing message really can be popular. :)”

Frankly, the constant pro china suckups by the commentators is sickening. Either they think the Chinese are the master race or they are afraid the plug will be pulled.

KRISTINN, FREEREPUBLIC.COM: We have kids that wear Che Guevara shirts here in the United States.

MATTHEWS: Yes, but they're kind of cute at this point, aren't they? They're not about somebody out to get us now. I think there's a difference. I mean, that's kind of camp almost, isn't it?...is Che Guevara the symbol of hate in the United States anymore?

KRISTINN: Yes.

MATTHEWS: I don't think so. I mean, a lot of our kids wear them. I see kids wearing them all the time, even my kids wear them. It's like a Robert Marley T-shirt at this point.

Reminded me of Maddy Albright’s staged performance before the Dear Leader in North Korea. Disgusting that people are getting a kick out of a slave show.
