Conservatives Applaud Chicago's 2016 Olympics Loss

[Weezy10580]

Go lick another snatch Rachel cuntbreath.

[FlamingBat]

I also think the right-wing celebration is tasteless, but let me ask you this: How would you have felt if Bush had bid for Texas or Oklahoma when he was President and lost?

[DreamTeamFlims]

Fuck Shitcago and Obama!

[lordcron]

I hope this is used for mid term elections and Obama's re-election.

[Adam8is108]

It's a shame when our own people, are cherring when our countrie looses a bid for the olympics. The olympics mean jobs and tourists which will help the economy. The people that were cheering our unpatriotic Americans.

[Purge187]

These are the same folks who said not to criticize Bush because it emboldened the enemy and weakened the morale of our troops. Fair-weather Americans.

[screename4231]

being a conservative, i have been ashamed with how the conservatives have handled this whole situation. Not just the olympics but rather losing the election. The GOP has lost leadership and Fox News is trying to step up to the plate. I am still a conservative at heart, I don't believe the healthcare plan will work with the direction they are going and Obama needs to get us out of the middle east.

[blackdove123]

And these guys claim to love America?

[aidrianblue77]

Mrs Obama in her speech in Copenhagen in the 41 sentences used some form of personal pronouns "I" or "me" 44 times!

Mr Obama used those pronouns "only"26 times in 48 sentences.Thats 70 times in 89 sentences!

I guess IOC wasn`t that into their self-fascination.

[aidrianblue77]

Ha ha ha! Lefties are crying that conservatives happy that Chicago lost?Apparently they have very short memory.For past 8 years they were cheering about every bad news about America.Hypocrites.

[AquaExecution]

Wow so lefties cheered on 9/11? And they cheered when Katrina hit New Orleans? And they booed on Team America in the 2008 Beijing Olympics?? Amazing....

[aidrianblue77]

There was enough lefties who said "we deserve it"on 9/11.They agreeably laughed when that idiot Kanye West said that "George Bush doesn`t care about black people" and they were blaming "whitey" for Katrina.They were smiling when our soldiers were dying in Iraq.

Don`t even get me started.

What goes around, comes around.

[AquaExecution]

How much is enough "lefties"? 1? 10? Whoever that's crazy enough to say that is certainly not the type of ppl I'd like to talk to. Believe me, even the NY elitists were helping each other during that terrible event.

Kayne West's comment is funny to some because he made an ass of himself by saying that. No one agrees to what he said. Even Obama called him a jackass.

And the only ppl that smiles at dead soldiers are the nuts at Westboro Baptist church.

Your comment is generic and stereotypical.

[chrisrei10]

not all republicans cheered this nonsense, but alot felt that money could be spent on something more worthwhile than obama paying back his chicago buds...

[dazhuang]

Bush supported the Chicago bid long before Obama was President... how is that paying back?

[chrisrei10]

is that going to be the liberal answer for the next 20 fucking years? BUSH BUSH BUSH....seems like every question about obama comes right back to bush.. and if you think bush was such an asshole, wouldnt his supporting the chicago bid have been wrong? most of obamas crooked connections come right out of chicago, a city that has been perpetually corrupt..so as an AMERICAN, im glad were not wasting money paying back his crones...

[listensdeep]

chris: You nailed it, BO wanted this so WE could pay back the folks he is indebted to for their "help" in his election. ONLY a handfull of Chicagoans would have reaped financial benefits from this, then (as per usual), the PEOPLE of Chigago would have been left with a huge debt (notice that 1 in 2 there did not want this)...the the rest of the huge debt would have been passed on to all Americans (borrowed from China at a horrific rate of interest). Our people are suffering, cut the party mode BO

[chrisrei10]

i know, if the only answer that liberals can come up with to respond with is "well, Bush this and Bush that " they all need to move to guyana and take a fucking cyanide pill....im sick of hearing about Bush, hes out of office....lets focus on what Obama is doing for a fucking change. JESUS!!!!

[listensdeep]

chris: Got that right, there have been many indications of BHO having been spoiled rotton over his lifetime, & having gotten everything on the cheap or w/ "allowances made" etc.,but I dont think it was necessary to know that stuff. The mere fact that he is a big baby & never takes responsibility for anything is proof enough. Let them say what they want about Pres Bush;& I know he made mistakes, but at least he was a MAN in office. Noone ever heard him whine about previous admins' messes.

[1337Koios]

I wasn't blaming the actual newscasters on Faux News, but really the producers (or whoever else is directly involved) who shirk their responsibilities in order to shovel propaganda down people's throats. I'm not saying other networks don't do it, but when you see the extent to which Faux News has done it, they become the best example of why news should be WITHOUT bias.

[1337Koios]

Interesting fact of the day: Rupert Murdoch, overall owner of Faux News, owns a Chinese television station that broadcasts communist propaganda.

[1337Koios]

wow, the internet making retards out of actual retards once more... why can't everyone shelve the agendas and just work towards what's best for the country? ... o wait, that's right. it's because there will always be people like those running "Faux" News

[bjoh249]

Faux news, MSNBC, etc. People like you are another reason why we can't put it all aside and work together. You sit there and blame the other side for everything and act like your side is perfect.

[pm512]

Ok mister "both parties are crap". What are YOUR solutions to the problems facing this country? Let's say we vote every single Dem and Repub out of office. THEN WHAT??

Do you honestly believe that the people that replace them won't be corrupted and bought by the big conglomerates and special interest groups? Money rules everything in this country. Always has, always will. Nobody can resist the pull of money and power.

So again...WHAT'S YOUR ANSWERS???

[bjoh249]

Well the people on here blame the Republicans for everything wrong and act like the Democrats are perfect.

[Metalwario64]

No... Not at all...

[chrisrei10]

one thing we could do is limit terms, some of these crones have been in office WAY too long...thats how people get corrupt easily...

[1337Koios]

@bjoh249 i'm late in getting around to this, but here goes: yeah, i prolly bashed the right too much on here. no, the left isn't perfect, and i'll never claim such. i call out retardedness anywhere i see it, which unfortunately is more often from the right in those rare times when i actually see news stories.

[SlaughterWings]

no proof a universe health care system isnt socialist buying failing companies making them government owned isn't socialist then what the hell is lol and alot of people in Chicago didn't want the oplymics because it would raise taxes

[pm512]

Republican party is crap. Everybody knows that. Absolutely NO suprise that they are rooting and cheering AGAINST their own country.

Just keep them out of office in the mid-term elections next year.

[bjoh249]

Grow up, the Democrats are not any better. The two main political parties have been failing us for decades yet people continue to be blind to their crap and blame the other party for everything. This is why George Washington warned against them.

[RyanJohnson03]

Agreed, I have had it with both parties. They are both full of angry, hateful people who think that their side is perfect and the other side is pure evil. It has become ridiculous. This board further proves the blind loyalty that exists of the Democrat party as well.

[Metalwario64]

The Democrats failed us when it was a Democrat who saw us to the largest surplus this country had seen?

[grig035]

A defining moment for conservatives! As a bit left of center myself, although often for fiscal restraint, I'll no longer be so civil when a conservative questions my patriotism over -- for instance -- differences I have on certain uses of the military. The cheers at Americans for Prosperity for our losing the Olympics shows up conservatives who are ready to trash their country's interests for partisan gain. An iconic moment! I'll throw it up every time my patriotism is questioned.

[bjoh249]

Oh yes, liberals have never trashed the country for partisan gain(sarcasm). You are blaming all conservatives for this and you claim they all cheered when it was announced but that is very far from the truth. Way to generalize.

[grig035]

bjoh249, did I say no liberal ever has? No. I also said "conservatives WHO". Is that talking about all conservatives? No. Try reading me first before _you_ go generalizing. Because some folks at Americans for Prosperity _did_ cheer our Olympics loss, that means that regardless of how atypical they may be, any other conservatives who still twit people like me with lack of patriotism now have to face the fact that some of their own cheered a U.S. loss. Does "hypocrisy" suggest anything to you?

[bjoh249]

You act like it.

[grig035]

bjoh249, Are you a mind reader? Personally, I prefer going by what posters SAY. That you evidently don't do that yourself says far more about you than about me. My chief point stands: Now that a group of conservatives has been caught on camera cheering an American loss, it will be a cold day in hell before I take seriously any conservative's attempt to traduce some liberal's patriotism. And I choose no longer to be intimidated by any conservative who might choose to try the same trick with me.

[bjoh249]

What posters say?? Most of the posters on this page are idiots with nothing better to do with their time. There are more conservatives in this country than liberals, there are more moderates in this country than liberals also. One video means nothing. Try and get to know some conservatives and you would be suprised to how good they really are. Not all of them are like you percieve them to be from watching TV or talking to your looney liberal pals. Grow up!

[grig035]

We've been around this point again and again. I'm not saying that all conservatives are gleeful over an American loss. I'm saying that now that a group of conservatives has been caught on camera cheering an American loss, conservatives in general can no longer use the knee-jerk argument that liberals are traitors without being laughed at. It's time to ask you a direct question: How do you personally feel about these cheers at Americans for Prosperity for our loss?

[bjoh249]

I don't care. I don't see liberals, conservatives and moderates like you and a lot of other idiots do. I see people.

[grig035]

This has nothing to do with what you or I _see_. I asked you how you _feel_ when a whole roomful of people erupt in cheers at the U.S.'s loss. Do you not care about that?

And now, I'll tell you what _I_ _see_. I see online fora in which liberals are glibly called unpatriotic day after day after day. But in the past few days, whenever a conservative is asked how much patriotism is in these cheers at Americans for Prosperity, he changes the subject.

[sektor333]

That's how it's been lately. Conservative hate the federal government so they quietly sit by as Republicans sabotage the country then yell and scream about every little thing when a Dem is President. Don't know why they're complaining anyway since nothing has really been done yet. Still just promises so far.

[bjoh249]

Yes, all Republicans walk in lockstep just like all Democrats are partisan, hateful, Obama-worshipping idiots like you(sarcasm).

[grig035]

bjoh249, not all Republicans walk in lockstep. Joe Scarborough has berated the petty glee over this Olympics loss at YouTube /watch?v=l4Z6BQT0yh8. If Joe Scarborough is ready to address this repulsive glee directly, why can't you?

[bjoh249]

I never gleed about it. I really could care less about the olympics or where it is held. I just hate how the Democrats are pinning the loss on Republicans and claiming they are all cheering about the loss, just like they do about everything based on the actions of a few.

[grig035]

Democrats AREN'T pinning the loss on Republicans. NO ONE SAYS THEY ARE! Democrats are DISGUSTED AT

SOOOOOME

REPUBLICANS' GLEE OVER THE LOSS!!! Can't you read English?! I already cited Scarborough as a Republican who ISN'T gleeing. How convenient to ignore that! It's YOU who obviously have an agenda, not me. Again, you don't say how YOU feel about others' gleeing. Are YOU disgusted by it or not?  I'm not asking you if YOU are gleeing. I'm asking how you feel about OTHERS' gleeing. Well?

[bjoh249]

Hmmm... that must be why the title on this video is "Conservatives applaud Chicago's 2016 olympic loss."

[grig035]

bjoh249, HUH? Applauding something isn't taking responsibility. NO ONE SAYS IT IS, except you who bring up a bogus "read" to avoid answering my -- and Republican Scarborough's -- query of every Republican: HOW DO

Y O U

FEEL ABOUT OTHERS' GLEEING OVER OUR OLYMPICS' LOSS?

BTW, I'm still DAMN frustrated that nowhere on YouTube is there a video of the Americans for Prosperity (AfP) snippet by itself. Then, distractions like Maddow et al wouldn't deflect from the impact of the AfP GleeFest.

[grig035]

Well, finally, there is indeed a YouTube video up of the appalling AfP reaction by itself without any distractions:

/watch?v=ifpnK6Uwyqw

[javabudd]

bjoh you're a fucking retard.

[bjoh249]

Wow, mature talk for a 52 year old.

[dieyou2000]

Bjoh249:

Limbaugh I can't speak for, although I don't need to. He's a sick racist, sexist pig and that's that.

However Hannity is on Fox News whose slogan is "Fair and Balanced." Let me give you a clue.  Denying blatant facts is not a good strategy.

[bjoh249]

You are a 16 year old kid who knows nothing about anything. Fox News is called fair and balanced because it gives the other side of the news that liberal networks like MSNBC and CNN won't portray.

Limbaugh is not a racist because he does not support Obama, stupid. 47% of the country's voters didn't vote for Obama and around 42% don't approve of his job performance right now. That is up from 28% who didn't approve of his performance as late as july.

[dieyou2000]

Did I say Limbaugh was a racist just because he doesn't support Obama? No. He has made plenty of other comments that lead me to believe he is racist, some having to do with Obama, and others not. Fox News claims to be fair and balanced, and you state yourself they portray the Republican side of the news, often lying and making up facts, so you contradicted yourself. Nice logic.

[bjoh249]

MSNBC is no better, except they portray the news from a liberal opinion also while lying and making up facts. Watch Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, they are worse than Maddow.

[darlene1029]

It's not so much another country won the bid, as it is unconscionable Americans would rejoice at our own defeat.

We are in a civil war, not so civil given Beck and Limbaugh actually have an influence on people,

GOP

(Grand Old Party no longer)

[bjoh249]

The Democratic party is no better.

[IAmMeMe87]

I like how the liberals on here just ate this up and made sure to put a thumbs down on every person on here not of their political choosing. Ever thought that it is more than just the conservatives that are against you. Us in the middle of the political spectrum thinks both extreme sides have become really nutty.

[deadmantyping2]

Republicans rejoice at Americas failure, Fucking Traitors!!

[bjoh249]

Grow up!

[WorldTravelTV]

So let me guess this straight. Because the president of the United States is a democrat from Chicago & went to Copenhagen to cheer for the US, the GOP was intent on celebrating this? An American city with Americans? America loosing?

I knew they were desperate to attack Obama on everything but this didn't hurt Obama, he didn't work on this for 3 years like the people of Chicago.

You conservatives, have just made one more enemy in the state of Illinois.

[bjoh249]

Since when are you liberals so perfect?? You only want what you want too and you use every means neccessary to take spat at the other side. Not all Republicans were against this idiot and they were not the reason it was decided against. Grow up. No wonder there are more moderate and conservatives in this country than you stupid liberals.

[WorldTravelTV]

First of all, I'm not a liberal. Nor did I say they were perfect. But since you seem so incline to be my biographer, go ahead and believe what you want. And I know not all Reps. were against it, Mitt Romney & George Bush Jr. were supporters & criticizing other conservatives. Since you seem to be so passionate & emotional in defending strangers then please state the reasons for people rejoicing that America lost.

Grow Up. BTW check your grammar because it sucks.

[bjoh249]

Then look at this video posted by a liberal and the comments of liberals on this board. They seem to have no respect at all for any conservative out there and they hate freedom.

[TheSuperLiberal]

You're right, we are very mad than Conservatives rejoiced at Americas loss of the Olympics. That was the most un-patriotic thing you could have done. As far as freedom goes we Liberals arent the ones trying to limit a womans right to choose or trying to tell people they can't get married.

[bjoh249]

No, you guys are just trying to take people's gun rights away and push socialism on the country.

[TheSuperLiberal]

When was the last time you heard Obama say he was gonna take your guns away. Even Bill Clinton said he ain't doing enough to fight the gun lobby. As far as socialism goes quit drinking the neocon kool-aid, that buzzword is worn out and tired there is no proof that Obama is pushing a socialist agenda. He is not socialist enough!

[bjoh249]

Except to you liberals who worship the ground he walks on and approves of everything he does and defends everything he does.

[Metalwario64]

Many liberals are disappointed that Obama is making compromises for the minority party... The same minority that wouldn't let the democrats do a damned thing when in power.

The liberals are hardly "worshipping" Obama, many want him to man it up and carry out his campaign promises, as opposed to half-assing it in favor of the party who is against every little action he takes, and who openly states they want him (and by extension the country) to fail.

[Metalwario64]

Taking your guns away? Typical conservative fear mongering...

[bjoh249]

Oh like your side is so damn perfect. Grow up!

[kac56]

wingnut traitors...disgusting people.

[RamuelMRaagas]

but our USA won the Nobel Prize for medicine just now, thanks to Blackburn, Carol + Paul.

[WorldTravelTV]

YAY AMERICA!

[bjoh249]

wingnut traitors. There are plenty of those on the left too idiot, like you.

[blkconservativ]

lol@ these liberals trying to find the littlest things to hang on the conservatives/republicans to distract people from obama and the congressional libs failures, bad policies & falling poll numbers. it isn't working and neither are millions of americans. rachel maddow needs to report on why obama is failing and stop trying to spotlight the conservatives. no wonder larry king (of all people) is spanking her in the ratings.

[evansville70]

so the Rachel Maddow is upset that the right wing is laughing at Obama's failure. I guess she forgot the 6 years the democrats tried to make the U.S. loose the war in iraq just to make George W. Bush look bad. Karma is a bitch democrats

[geffel]

Nice try you fucking cretin.

[evansville70]

I do have to admit I am a little twisted. I love seeing left wing loons like your self get unhinged. By the way we are winning in Iraq that is good news for the U.S. bad news for the democrats.

[geffel]

Keep eating that propaganda like a good little far right psycho.

[evansville70]

Hey how is the messiah's stimulus package doing? I am laughing my ass off you left wingers. Many people are getting a reality check on Obama. Sing with me "yes we can" yes we can"

[bjoh249]

Keep eating your liberal propaganda like a good little far left psycho.

[bjoh249]

Wow, Rachel Maddow, that is a real "non-biased program." NOT!! Try again.

[bluestems]

I'm sure her motto is not "fair and balanced"... she is left-leaning, but can you argue against the point she makes here? Do you think these republicans and right-leaning programs were right to celebrate our loss in hosting the 2016 Olympics?

[bluestems]

btw- althougth her motto isn't 'fair and balanced', I think she is a whole lot more so than the Faux News who claims to be.

[dieyou2000]

You seem to forget that she doesn't claim to be "non-biased".

Try again.

[bjoh249]

Neither do Hannity or Limbaugh. The MSNBC prime time lineup is just as biased as Fox News, except it is from the left instead of the right. You want fair and balanced news watch the evening news on one of the big three networks or your local news, idiot.

[steerpike66]

It would appear that, if they needed to destroy the USA to bring down President Obama, the conservative would happily push the big red button.

Enemies of the People.

[rwilson290]

These clownservatives have really isolated themselves now. How many American jobs, food on American's tables, and new training opportunities have been lost due to this decision...and the Wingnuts cheer this? Dear Wingnuts, I can't say much more than this is exactly why you're losing on the left and and on the right. WAKE UP!

[RyanJohnson03]

Look at the communist wingnuts on the left.

[rcwmovies]

Well seeing as how I've been a vocal supporter of every Republican Presidential candidate since Gerald Ford up and including McCain until he decided to partner with Sarah, I suppose it's safe to say you've no clue kid. You're a 2-bit traitor clown kid; a 2-bit traitor clown if you celebrate the loss of jobs, influx of foreign currency, and infrastructure that the Olympics would bring into this country. Enjoy :-)

[RyanJohnson03]

I celebrate jobs loss?? No I do not. Also it wasn't the Republicans decision to have the olympics elsewhere.

[666bushisnazi666]

Just remember 1 thing republitards, America is watching you with a sharp eye. Keep up your childish behavior and YOUR party WILL be out of power a VERY long time.

[nadradt]

BOTH PARTIES ARE CORRUPT!! Wake up!! By the way, I COMPLETELY agree with you screenname... his grandfather funded hitler out of the ny bank of mellon. how do these crooks continue to get elected by the wayward american sheeple??

[bjoh249]

With more people like you in the Demo-rat party, it won't be a matter of time before that party is out of power.

[666bushisnazi666]

This just proves once again how amazingly stupid republitards are. Their hatred of President Obama has clouded their judgement to the point that they CHEER Chicago not getting the olympics. Nice job you treasonous assholes, way to root for America to fail once again. Are you idiots aware that this would have boosted the economy in Chicago as well as creat jobs? republitards not using their heads as usual, nothing new here.

[nadradt]

give it a rest people. half of the chicagoans didn't want the olympics there anyways. check the polls. there are a few fringe folks cheering, but think about it... who the hell wants to go to that rat hole chicago? u people need to check the murder rate up there... like a 3rd world country. AND the only ones to make $ on this would have been obama's real estate buddies. u folks need to research & stop feeding on this media bullsh*t.

[TheSuperLiberal]

You obviously have no F'in clue what you're talking abought. I live in Chicago and everyone I know wanted it! The crime rate in my great city has been going down ever since Clinton was in office. You obviously haven't done the research and only got your talking points from haters like Beck and Limbaugh. Go ahead and keep cheering at our country's loss it's gonna bite you in the ass come election time in 2010!

[nadradt]

yes, i'm sure the world would love to come to your savage city. especially with the beating death of an honor roll student making the rounds across the globe. beck, limbaugh? lol... i VOTED for obama, but i have to call a spade a spade.

[bluesguy1977]

72% of those in chicago supported it. got math?

[nadradt]

got calculus from my mba program. looks like you got the wrong poll...

September 2009

Chicago Tribune:

Support in Chicago for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games has dwindled, with residents now sharply divided over whether the city should host the Games, a Tribune/WGN poll has found.

Nearly as many city residents oppose Mayor Richard Daley's Olympic plans, 45 percent, as support them, 47 percent.

Read the whole story: Chicago Tribune

[hechosdcolon]

you people need JESUS

[TheSuperLiberal]

No, we needed the Olympics

[PaganRon]

What the hell is wrong with these conservatives now and days. Having the Olympics in Chicago wound have made jobs for people. It is clear to me that conservatives don't think of that kind of stuff, and that they don't care about people who are just trying to get by in life. And people wonder why I don't like conservatives.

[MrOldSlacker]

I'm wondering now after seeing this that if it would put Republican conservatives in power...would they work with Bin Ladin?

How far would they sell this country out for power?

[pm512]

After the way the GOP has been acting since Obama's victory, do you really have to ask yourself that?

Just get out the vote in the mid-term elections next year and keep the GOP out of office!

[nadradt]

r u kidding me? google OBAMA SIGNS TREATY OF PORT OF SPAIN then come back and tell me about selling out. that's whats wrong with the sheep today. u let these repubs and dems play mind games with you WHEN THEY BOTH WORK FOR THE SAME TEAM. when u people "discover" all the selling out going on in washington RIGHT NOW, it will conveniently be re-election time... the people get angry, and put ANOTHER worthless politician (most likely repub) in. wash-rinse-repeat.

[KataVideo]

I overheard two republicans talking about how disgusted they were with limbaugh abd the conservatard blogs getting joy out of America losing.
