I don't think Afghanistan and Iraq count as belonging to the IOC, and I doubt anyone can claim that the utterance of "Olympics" violates some property right. The only real difference is, Bush doesn't give two figs for the IOC's sensibilities, while Kerry desperately wants McCain to keep liking him.

What about the quotes from the Iraqi olympians from the article I posted? Seems pretty analogous to me. "I/we are featured prominently in your ad and we would like you to stop running it."

And Bush is probably just as concerned about the ungrateful twerps' wishes as he is of the "suggestion" that Hamm give back his medal.

But, in fairness, I don't think he should use those quotes in his ads.

Charming. And further proof that the GOP is not above whip-sawing the American people about Kerry's record.

As what a copyright infringement? Where did the Bush people get the footage from? Whoever filmed the events holds the copyright and if they sold or gave that footage to Bush, I doubt they did it without agreeing that it could be used.

I'm about to break out into song - something along the lines of "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina" - just thinking about the irony of a Dem, after the last year, saying something like this. As I recall, Kerry just said something like "I haven't seen Mr. Moore's new movie yet" with a big grin on his face.

All I can do is watch and grin, too. Fun is back into politics.

Why this great President would want to dirty his hands with references to this repugnant organization is beyond me. Methinks it was Powell's idea.

Lest we forget, the Olympic games have little to do with peace and love and everything to do with fervent nationalism and physical dominance.

Yeah. Why start giving an accurate impression now? It'll just confuse us all.

Would you please stop using the term "proof" in connection with NYT spiels? I'm afraid if you don't we are going to have to downgrade the rating for the stock on your posts to "junk."

So FOX could have a camera guy film Olympics crap and televise it? Str8, do you have Murdoch's cell number- its an emergency.

It doesn't matter. For all you weak-kneed weed-smoking unbathed Kerryistas who haven't heard, we were ATTACKED on 9/11. We are now at WAR against all the Muslim barbarian camelbangers - the only people who don't understand that are either traitorous LIE-BERALS or infants, and it's never easy to know whether they are one or the other. Since the SCOTUS has decided that our brave fighting men can detain a few Muslim pedophiles a little longer than the whining ACLU card carriers might like, I think the American way of life can stand a little copyright violation.

God bless America!!! God bless President Bush!!

How appropriate that a traitorous LIE-BERAL like TS should adopt a serpent as his mark. The Bible teaches us that serpents are the creatures of Beelzebub, and so it is with all TS's ilk. He's probably off somewhere in the Oakland docks taking pictures to pass along to his cohorts in self hatred. Be on guard!! Anyone with a camera could be your enemy!!
