		<description>This is also what happens  when bumpersticker slogans come to the forefront.  

Now, all of a sudden, all of those Liberal Hippie Leftists Moron Throw-backs who bought all those colorful &quot;Free Tibet&quot; bumperstickers in the Quad during the last &quot;Earthday&quot; celebration or at the last &quot;Bush is Hitler&quot; rally and protest will now have to come foreward and explain to people just exactly what Tibet is, where it is, and why it should be free.

I am reminded of a &quot;Family Guy&quot; episode where Peter Giffin, the main character, is confronted by a bunch of hippies with &quot;Free Tibet&quot; signs.  He looks at one of these guys and states, &quot;I&#039;ll TAKE IT!!&quot;  He then immediately goes to a pay phone and is heard saying, &quot;Hello, China?  I have something you might be interested in.  That&#039;s right...all the tea...&quot; and it ends with ominous music.

I can&#039;t help but imagine a bunch of these College Know-It-All-Hippies walking around at these rallies and protests trying to find out what a Tibet is, and where they can get one since they are obviously handing them out for free.</description>

		<description>What really is comical here, is the far left, protesting the far left, for doing exactly what the far left does. We have socialists protesting socialism and demanding democracy for Tibet; a country they probably never heard of, a month ago. It all goes to show that they are protesting for something to protest, in front of news cameras.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;But after Soviet tanks rolled into Afghanistan in 1979, then-U.S. President Carter brought that relationship to the forefront. He called for the U.S. team to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/cold.war/episodes/20/spotlight/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;boycott the 1980 Moscow Olympics&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Bush is going to the Beijing Olympics. Freedom is important, but not as important as sports.</description>

		<description>Actually, if presented correctly, the O;ympics being held in China could do a great deal to bring attention to their deplorable record of Human Rights violations.

However, getting the point across that China is violent and guilty of Human Rights Violations by committing acts of violence and violating people&#039;s human rights is not exactly the way to do it, and ultimately will only drum up stmpathy for the Chinese in the long run.

I am going to ignore &quot;The Other Side&quot; and the idiotic question of &quot;What makes San Francisco Un-American&quot; because I refuse to believe that anyone in this day and age of modern technology and midia information, could be that stupid and ask such an absolutely assinine and idiotic question for any other reason other than to invoke people&#039;s ire and create problems.

Picking on the people that are carrying these torches is nothing less that the basest form of bullying that there is.  Some of these people are children, or crippled, suffering from fatal diseases or have recovered from the same and are doing so as a sign and showing of victory and to bring attention to their individual causes.  It is something they will be proud of and remember for the rest of their lives.  Now, to have this once in a lifetime event ruined because of Naziesque jackbooted thugs threatening them and carrying on like the unwashed hippie brats of old that they are is nothing short of unforgiveable.

You want to protest?  You want to change things?  Go the Hell back to China and do it on THEIR land.  Show us all how big and brave and strong you are by taking on the People&#039;s Army like my good friend from High School did who was never heard from again in Tiannemen Square almost 20 years ago.

Like always, these idiot Liberals are attacking the wrong people.  They are going after innocents instead of those that are resonsible and generally ruining everyone&#039;s good time and lives.

They are no different in mentality and tactics than the Crownshirted SA...they just have a different target...this time.  Yet oddly enough...believe in the same tenets.</description>

		<description>OK, OK, OK! San Francisco can be a pain. I know. I work there, and I lived there for 30 years. But not everyone here is nuts, or even liberal, for that matter. It&#039;s just that the libs here believe everyone thinks like them. 

Well, I don&#039;t, and I&#039;m on the city payroll. 

SF was chosen because the city is one-third Chinese, with many more in the burbs. 

It seems, for once, they did something right. Playing &quot;hide the torch&quot; all day at least kept the professional protest set from doing anything really stupid.</description>

		<description>The only North American stop? Who’s the crack head that made that decision? I can’t believe it they end up having to hide the torch. This is the biggest joke I have ever seen in Olympic history and that’s saying something. Once again we all get stuck looking like morons by the rest of the world. I will watch them only to see if the Chinese women swimmers sporting moustaches are any bigger this year. I’ve always been a fan of Ripley’s believe it or not, circus freak shows, Hollywood, that kind of stuff.</description>

		<description>Since the modern Olympics is no longer for amateur athletes conducted in the spirit of competition, continues to be more and more politicized, and is now a corporate boondoggle maybe it is time to just stop holding this drain of resources on the cities and countries that host them.  I have already decided to boycott the games and any channel willing to display this show of communist propaganda.  For once I find myself in agreement with the moonbats when it comes to protesting the abuses of human rights by the People&#039;s Republic of China.  The flying pig has been towed out of the hangar, started engines, and is taxing out to the runway cleared for takeoff.</description>
