Olympic "boycott"

Post by randy »

RE: The so-called CHICOM Olympic games boycott where the athletes are still going and playing;

Only in DC would "we aren't inflicting a gaggle of State Dept. pukes and politicians on your country" be considered a threat and a significant response to Winnie the Xi.

I wish they would "boycott" us in the same way
...even before I read MHI, my response to seeing a poster for the stars of the latest Twilight movies was "I see 2 targets and a collaborator".

On the one hand I think it's probably good that this time around we aren't punishing a bunch of young athletes who have been working their whole lives to get to the Olympics, but at the same time, then why bother with the pointless gesture?

What is the exact reason for it though? The Commies committing genocide, creating the Kung Flu, etc?

I think it's the genocide thing.

Might mean more if they sent Hunter over to give back all the Chi Com money he has.
