I assume it isn't Jesse Owens holding that sign.

Somewhere, there has to be a photo of the ancephalic leftist who is holding that sign...

Further proof that 90% of protesters have no idea what they are protesting about. Sad really, since it was most likely a young, white, college kid. Probably a political sciences major.
Just think. Someday that person could be president.

Wow, that's embarrassing.
I wish I could have seen that protester and explained to him that:
1.) "We" don't have any choice on who hosts to Olympics.
2.) That Nazi Germany DID host the Olympics.
Still, one idiot protester (if this photograph is real) shouldn't destroy the point that China's record on human rights is a worldwide embarrassment. China is the kind of place that should make you so much more proud to be an American.
In this country, our problems don't look nearly as bad compared to China, and here when something goes wrong we're allowed to complain about the job the president is doing (or not doing).
In China you could expect to be thrown into a cell and tortured twice a day for dissenting against the government.

Besides the overt stupidity of not knowing history. When the US tries to do things like blocking bad governments like China from hosting things like the Olympics, what side do you think the sign holder would be on that the US is dictating to the world? Anyway, the IOC like the UN is no friend of freedom. Never has and never will be.
