“We will certainly be able to totally smash the splittist schemes of the Dalai Lama clique.”Wow, really blatant too. They shouldn’t complain about calls for a boycott after that one.
Yeah, that 40 some year old Chinese Cultural Revolutionary Maoist Red Guard Language really helps China looks 21st Century, too.
Hipocrisy? In China? In Asia?
I am shocked!
Shocked, I tell you!!!!!!!!!!!
The Olympic games got politicized the moment Beijing was chosen as the host city.
I will be not watching any of the summer Olympics. With China’s revolting human rights record I’m not going to buy any products from any of the sponsors (easy) and try and avoid buying Chinese stuff (it is almost impossible not to buy anything at all that hasn’t involved China).
They should never have been awarded the Olympics in the first place.
Scumbag commies
The Olympics blow.
The Olympics, as a concept, is dead.
总书记和我们大家拉近了距离，我感觉到 胡总书记就在身边，很感动！很激动!

I heard that 88 Seoul olympic. Just substitute “Commie” to “Military Junta” Didn’t you support Seoul olympic back then?
#6, #7
Ditto..
everyone in the Chinese politburo need to get PR lesson before open their mouth.

translation:
Everyone and General secretary (Hu Jintao) are getting closer, we can feel he is right next to us..so emtional..so exicited.
Not sure where you get this but I must say Wen Jiabao is more popular than Hu.
#9 Sid, I wasn’t particularly interested in the Seoul Olympics, I knew little to nothing of Korea at that point in my life. I’m very much aware that the Chinese government are a bunch of thugs though. The dictatorship of South Korea at that time was relatively benign in comparison to the crimes and abuses of the current Chinese regime.
More power to Mr. Zhang! Olympics has been politicasized by the west and many anti-China morons here(listen, R.E. you are the biggest loser on earth. Get a life) to attack China from the beginning. Why can’t China counterattack a little bit? Speaking of double standards and hypocrisy.
Not anti-China “spam-boy”; more like anti-criminal or anti-organized crime since that best describes the CCP leadership.
Here’s a list of olympic sponsors if you are interested in boycotting.

Man I wish this comcast guy would go away. At least he didn’t say “morally bankrupt” this time.
his comments should be erased.
[comcast]
hey there agitprop! nice to see you at the hole again. your new username is nicer than moralmidgetelgin, too — that one was so ungainly.
I’m going to remind you of the difference between good attention and bad attention, and then go back to ignoring you again.
Chairman Comcast, that kind of rhetoric doesn’t work unless you have a mob of red book waving, highly indoctrinated, zealots behind you ready to attack. And using a dead parent to attack someone is a move only a total piece of shit would use.
I don’t know, I have not been at the Marmot’s very long, but comcast really goes beyond an acceptable level of dialogue. Plain disturbing.
You cheer for the earthquake that killed Chinese, then I take pleasure in the fact that your old man is burning in hell. I call both the dark side of human nature. And I won’t shy away from doing that again. You’d better get used to the two-way street. At least that’s what the world should be. Otherwise people can’t drive and have to fly. And why people fly, bad things can happen, like flying into buildings and killing a lot of people or something. I apoligize if this dirturbs people here, but as I said i won’t shy away from doing this again. Eye for eye, pure hatred for pure hatred.
“comcast”, you reveal more than your nature and condemn yourself only, for I know the truth of a few things and that is more than you are capable of.
Does your employer know about your opinions I wonder?
Please delete all my posts because this is turning into something bigger than I thought. As people should not fight the CCP government, i made the mistaking picking on the boss here too. All the bosses are the same. They are more powerful and can crush you. Please delete all my posts.
Looks like a hard dose of reality just hit comcast’s virtual world.
Again, whoever in power please delete all my posts. You are the boss. you won.
R.E.,I apologized for what I wrote about you,and I take back all I said. Please delete all my posts. I thought this is a fair game, but its’ not. Please go on with you anti-China campaign,and I won’t say a word. For now, please delete all my posts and forget the whole thing.
R.E., please don’t turn into something you say you are against.
Delete my posts.
M-Holers: I trust you’ve all learned a lesson about using the computers at work?
Pleae delete all my posts whoever in power there. Please, i promose i will be away and never look back.
It’s not even my computer at work. These people just know everything. They are in contorl. It’s an illusion to think that this is a level playing field.
WTF just happened?
And linkd, I’m sure the Marmot would NEVER tell, say, another commenter where a certain commenter whonhe had a beef with, worked.
dogbert, I used to be naive like this and thought i am safe behind the computer. Now i believe they have all my information. My IP address, physical address, and name and other information. I definitely learned my lesson.
It’s good that you did. As you yourself said, “an eye for an eye”.
So people should be punished for holding their opinions? I thought this is something you are so vehemently against.
Yes, but comcast, who are you afraid of? We are writing from countries where you can have an opinion. Your writing is propping up the very people you seem to be worried about. Wouldn’t they smile benevolently on your efforts?
Even if you hijacked someone’s computer it’s for a good cause, right?
Unless, of course, you’re pulling our chains. What am I thinking. I’m soo cynical sometimes. My apologies.
Maddlew, i am sorry for my poor English but i have no idea what you are taling about. Should I be worried or not? I don’t know how much information of mine they have, but i feel they know a lot. I don’t want trouble. I just hope ROBERT J. KOEHLER can delete my posts. People will abuse their power when they have it. They are criticizing CCP for doing this, but they will do the samething. That’s what i am cynical about.
People don’t just abuse power, they also abuse priveleges. Such as the privelege of posting anonymous comments on the internet.
comcast,
I do not equate Anti-CCP as anti-Chinese even though these two groups are using olympic to make their point. I am also not a fan of CCP for bad things they did (too many to mention) but again I also understand the reality what CCP has done to China where it is at. But nonetheless, for you to jump into critize everything said about CCP as anti-Chinese people is immature and you will most likely lose your argument and creditability. If you are going to make a point to argue Chinese has the right to use olympic for political purpose then do so. I would like to hear!!
You are too stupid by not knowing the writer this post you just attacked and since you gave away your email, you become a chiken shit. You deserved to be called SB!!
Who’s abusing power here?
If you’re using Comcast, your IP address will show up as the nearest link-up server. It may be the town you live in, but it can be somewhere else, too.
at first this looked to be headed for the usual flame war,
but suddenly, on a dime, it turned into the highest of high hilarity!
damn you, Marmot comment boards! every time I think I’m out, you pull me back in!
Lol… wtf just happened with comcast?
That was strange.
I will watch the Olympic though…nothing like watching fringe sports and people pretending to care.
OK, after reading this entire thread, I haven’t the faintest idea what’s going on. Comcast, if you want me to delete your posts, you’re going to have to at least give me a reason why.
And Elgin, is there something else going on here I should know about?
On second thought, comcast, don’t worry about explaining. I just read the comment directed at Elgin’s late father, and you’ve been banned.
