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."

Does the IOC have an army? Do they have a police force? If we want to carry a flag into the stadium, who is going to stop us?

Seems to me the thing to do is let someone independently do this, without USOC sanction (wink, wink). Just let someone show up, hand the flag to oone of the athletes, let them carry it in, and slip the word to the media. Romney can say he knew nothing about it, and what are they going to do? Come arrest him? Bomb the American quarters at the village?

I say do it under their radar, and if they whine, sarcastically apologize.

I was thinking more of connecting with each other as a cohesive unit with the forum acting as a communications nexus rather than a tool to incite the members to a paroxysm of fury. But hey, you gotta start somewhere.

LOL - kin I quote you one that? hehehe... < g >

I for one will not watch a second of the Olympics until the flag is allowed to fly. . . . Top

Nah. If they whine, give them cheese!

If it goes nuclear, we destroy Mecca-that should be enough to end thigs.

[nocommies]

that may be what its like in texas, but it aint in florida or boston or nyc.

Better yet, I think the official flag that is flown during the Opening Ceremonies is the WTC flag. For symbolic reasons.

[Utah Girl]

Doesn't this pretty much ensure USA will be chanted at every event? If you're there, start the chant. Blackbird.

Oh yes, that is what I plan on doing. I do not see why we cannot be patriotic and be welcoming to the world at the very same time. And the IOC has been so heavy-handed in all of this, they are going to get the exact opposite of what they want.

Most excellent, Robert :) My compliments.

Folks, go check the link on post #132.

Every American in Salt Lake should wave American flags, wear red, white, and blue, and drape himself or herself in American flags. Every time a camera sweeps across the crowd, it should broadcast to the world the colors of our nation.

AMEN!!

American liberals are complicit and key in this matter.

Images of 9/11 are almost totally absent from media. The left must bury this memory and quell the tide of patriotism and Americanism that swept the nation after 9/11.

For starters, if this is true, that this flag is not welcome at the winter Olympics, Americans should refuse to attend, to view the telecasts, or to patronize the sponsors of the event or of the broadcast.

[Double Eagle Sword of Justice]

They better push to be able to fly that flag. If the games are on American soil, we darn well better have some respect shown to the sacrifices of our people.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED YOU CAN STICK ANYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH THE OLYMPICS UP THEIR A-S!I hope the olympics become a miserable failure and i would never support those dopeheaded,deadbeat wussies.GET OUT OF AMERICA AND DON'T COME BACK!

Dear Towelheads: You want martyrdom? Pull your crap one more time and we will oblige.

[gwmoore]
