WTC Flag not welcome at Winter Olympics

Sean Hannity Radio Program | 2/5/2002

[LonePalm]

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]

Thanks,
I will start calling the sponsors in the morning. I have to cook supper for the kids and go to the church council meeting tonight.

I got though to Sean Hannity on trash the lines. I said "Sean the heat is already being turned on the Olympic sponsors by FreeRepublic. This is LoanPalm, keep up the good work."

Even if I am the only one calling they will get called.

"Remember the Great Santa FReep?"

I may have become a FReeper just after this happened.

Sounds like I missed something worthwhile.

If you need help to FReep this Olympics travesty...let me know.

Lengthy load, but worth the wait. Blackbird.

The WTC flag will be used but the IOC will not allow the US athletes carry it into the Opening Ceremonies. This news is coming from KSL radio in SLC.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Ummm, I think you just did.

[glock rocks]

There is a much deeper and spiritual dynamic here than politics and symbolism. Unfortunately, many of the Freepers here either were never athletes or forgot the lessons of competetive sports.

i couldn't agree more. if the left wants to politicize the event, and i think you can rest assured
every ilk of bottom feeder will try (read: protests). i'm a skier, former giant slalom and gelande jumper,
former distance runner, and i intend to watch as much as i can on tv...
i didn't want the olympics in my home town, and will be overjoyed when they are gone...
but i'll watch these kids do their best, and cheer for our team.

now then, what's new york doing to rid themselves of the u.n.? hmmm? and how many
conservatives are going to be out in the sub-freezing fog to protest the ioc here before the media?

an armchair freep may further the cause... dunno... however,

i'll leave the flags (stars and stripes, and pow-mia) flying in the front yard, and the
flags on the vehicles, and gladly watch the 10,000 troops, 23 blackhawks, f-16's, awacs
7,000 police and a state chock full of deer-hunters on constant guard, from my den on my american
made tv on nbc, thank you.

darn, those blackhawks are noisy at 2am...

If I need help, we all need help. Utah Girl needs help-- she lives there.

Read about the Great Santa FReep

[Utah Girl]

I totally forgot about the great Santa FReep. I'm calling the SLOC offices tomorrow to get the lowdown on this flag issue. I'll report what I find out. This just grinds my gears in a big way...

[mewzilla]

Well, guess what? This flag is apparently NOT welcome in the stadium during the opening ceremony since FOX's Hume just reported that the athletes CAN'Y carry it in, though it will be flown. WTH?

[Norman Conquest]

The globalists ARE using immigration as one of their tools, and it's quite successful. Americans are no longer Americans - we're African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Japanese-Americans, Native-Americans, etc. ...

Damn those globalists! Smuggling them Native-Americans into the United States in the middle of the night! Not to mention the secret mass immigration of Albinos, Hillbillies, Methodists and New Mexicans!

[Utah Girl]

I don't know. I'm leaving in awhile for the Olympic torch going through my city. I do plan on calling the SLOC and expressing my outrage tomorrow. I'll post what I find out...

[let freedom sing]

Why CAN'T they carry it in? Normally, they carry in an American flag-- so what's the deal?

[mewzilla]

According to the I-effing-O-C, carrying the the flag that stood above the ground where our country was attacked in NYC, and where thousands of our citizens (and some of theirs, too) were murdered would be too political.

The IOC is truly beneath contempt. And so is the USOC if they go along with this.

[Jefferson Adams]

Damn those globalists! Smuggling them Native-Americans into the United States in the middle of the night!

LOL - down, boy. The point was that immigration-out-of-control is being used to separate Americans into different camps. And one of the camps happens to be "Native-Americans." ANY hyphen before the word "American" separates us, rather than uniting us as one nation. And a separated country is an easier country to defeat.

Sigh, there certainly are a lot of Ostrich-Americans...

[Jefferson Adams]

You are a sad little cynic.

Actually, I'm a happy little Christian Constitutionalist who is chagrined by seeing his once-free nation destroyed because the masses are too stupid to realize that they're being conquered.

But then again, cynicism means never having to say you're disappointed :)

I ain't BOYCOTIN' nothing. What I know is the sacrifice made by these athletes and their parents. There is a much deeper and spiritual dynamic here than politics and symbolism.

Yeah there is; it's called "mememememememememememememememememememememememe"
Your name says it all.
