My guess... some may disagree! But there is a good point here.

[tbpiper]

Point or not it’s just good to know that Warner Todd Huston is so much better than me.

[CougarGA7]

This reminds me of an analogy that I could not possibly post on the Freep in a hundred years.

I didn’t want the IOC to give the Olympics to China, but I cant do anything about that. I will still support our athletes that are over there though by watching and rooting for them.

Without even reading past the thread title, I knew that Hitler and the Nazis would be mentioned in the opinion piece.

oh warner, STFU!

life sucks sometimes.

you're perfect. thanks for sharing.

[Petronski]

I knew that Hitler and the Nazis would be mentioned in the opinion piece.

As well they should be. The comparison is completely appropriate.

[JTHomes]

No,we are not directly responsible, any more than as a white man from then north I am directly responsible for southern slavery starting 400 years ago or for 9-11 because I bought gas for my car. You could say the same thing about buying half the crap we buy that is made in China.

[LasVegasMac]

You are directly responsible.....

Bite me.

Cougar, what you said.

[The KG9 Kid]

By the way, 'Mobile Vulgus', you should probably announce publicly that you ARE Warner Todd Huston, the author of this piece.

[Righter-than-Rush]

With God as my witness, I have not watched one second of these Olympics. I detest Russia, China and communism in general.

Jesse Owens: Hitler enabler.

Right?

[blondee123]

I don't think the Olympics should be held in any communist or terrorist country, but I personally had NOTHING to do with that decision.

I will watch our U.S.A. athletes & cheer them on, not thier fault either! STFU!

[CougarGA7]

I sure get tired of getting hit with “moral equivalency” when all I’m doing is cheering on MY TEAM.

Or shopping at Walmart?

You may want to see.... some grils paying volleyball...

Well Duh.

[Petronski]

What are you smoking?

[KantianBurke]

Spot on analysis. But get ready to be flamed. Most folks don’t like having such unpleasant realities thrust on them.

[SaxxonWoods]

Hey WTH. China is bad? Who knew?

Stay pure. Save the world. Kill yourself.

[CougarGA7]

See, I would say that is far worse than watching the games. And we are so in bed with the Chinese that it’s almost impossible to not buy things that are made there. I dont think I’ve seen a pair of shoes not made in China in 10 years.

[The KG9 Kid]

Ask the author of this piece that question. That is precisely what he wrote about Jesse Owens: A Hitler enabler.

I turn on NBC to watch Michael Phelps win the gold, and suddenly I am a "traitor to liberty and freedom. So is every last western athlete, every last western leader, and every single western attendee as well as all the media are guilty. And so is every TV watcher, newspaper reader, and radio listener who bothers with these murderous games [...] (Our) hands are stained with blood."

That's exactly what this piece says.

You agree with this?
