WTC Flag not welcome at Winter Olympics

Sean Hannity Radio Program | 2/5/2002

Sean Hannity said that they will be breaking a story at 1530 EST that a flag found at the WTC is not welcome at the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olymics because it is "too American."

[LonePalm]

Freaking typical.

More as this develops.

Good heavens, those people are sick.

[oldvike]

I heard about this too. Sean is going to have a ticked off Port Authority cop in a few minutes to discuss this.

When is the USA going to wake up and realize that the rest of the world really does not like us that much? I don't really understand why, though. It seems that we're always the ones who come in and bail everybody else's butts out of the fire.

If this is true...I am so sick and tired of the IOC telling us, Utah and the United States that we can't be patriotic, that we can't remember 9/11 in the Opening ceremonies, that we shouldn't be chanting USA USA during any of the events. I'm hoping Mitt Romney is on top of the issue and tells the IOC to stuff it. Better still, just use the flag anyway. It's better to ask forgivenss, than permission.

[McGruff]

I heard that too.

[oldvike]

Why not just let our flag carriers haul it in with them during the opening ceremony?

If it's possible revoke as many visas as we can. Toss the olympic bums out. Screw 'em! Let 'em go ski in Switzerland.

Time to cut the funding for the IOC, pronto.

You just answered your own question.

[oldvike]

Time to cut the funding for the IOC, pronto.

And the United Nations.

[Lumberjack]

It isn't shocking that a group of third world socialists, in planning for a gathering at a NWO feel good event, would chide America to "keep quite" and not display its flags or patriotism.

What's shocking is that I see nobody from "our" side telling them to stuff it where the sun doesn't shine. But then again, maybe I'm not shocked. This is a "new day in America", after all.

[colorado tanker]

Our law enforcement and security services are way "too American." Lets withdraw them from protecting the bigwigs of the Olympic "movement." Wouldn't want those citizens of the world feeling uncomfortable.

[LonePalm]

Thanks,
I saw that one when I did my check before posting.

That is exactly what we should do.

[Michael2001]

Well guess what, this is America. If you don't like it, go have your Olympics somewhere else.

[shrugs] Let's just lock them all in Utah, and make everyone stay there and become Mormons...

I've never heard that before. I like it. :-D

Yup, I say we pull a little switcheroo with the National Flag in the 'Parade of Nations.'

I cannot think of a more fitting tribute than having the flag carried by the most worthy team member (and probably a close relative of someone affected by Sept. 11) into the stadium to represent our country be the one that flew over the WTC.
