Clinton calls on Bush to boycott Olympics
Posted: 01:40 PM ET

Clinton is calling on President Bush to boycott the opening ceremony
of the Olympics.
(CNN) - Hillary Clinton is calling on President Bush to boycott the
opening of this summer's Olympic Games in Beijing, China.

In a statement released by her campaign Monday, the New York senator
pointed to the recent protests in Tibet and the Chinese government's
failure to pressure the government of Sudan to end the violence in
Darfur.

"These events underscore why I believe the Bush administration has
been wrong to downplay human rights in its policy towards China," said
Clinton. "At this time, and in light of recent events, I believe
President Bush should not plan on attending the opening ceremonies in
Beijing, absent major changes by the Chinese government."

She only mentioned the opening ceremonies. That's not even close to a
boycott which is necessary. Please sign the petition and other
environment issue letters at http://www.lifejustice.org which provides
links to the petition, letters articles and more information. Thank
you.

UNTIL YOU KNOW WHAT IS JUSTICE, YOU ARE ONLY PREACHING
CLINTON DOES NOT CARE ABOUT JUSTICE, ONLY THE ROAD TO WHITE HOUSE
MAYBE SHE LIKE TO APOLOGIZE ON BEHALF OF THE AMERICAN FOR DOZING THE CHINESE
WITH OPIUM IN 1840
APOLOZIED TO THE RED INDIAN FOR TAKING THEIR LAND
APOLOZIED TO THE ARAB FOR GIVING THEM BOMBS AND MISSILS TO SHOOT THEM
APOLOGIZED TO THE VIETNANESE FOR KILLING MILLIONS OF THEM..........

AMERICAN HAS TONS AND TONS OF APOLOGY TO MAKE

WHY NOT CLINTON START MAKING ONE IN HER VERY OWN CAPACITY FOR A START

THE QUESTION IS

WHAT HAS CHINA DONE WRONG IN HOSTING AN OLYMPIC, HAVE THE WEST GONE BACK ON
ITS WORD AS ALWAYS HAPPEN.....OR .......THE OLYMPIC IS THE PAWN TO A
WESTERN PLOT

WHO HAS BETRAYED OLYMPIC, WHO HAS BETRAYED HUMAN RIGHTS,

Let's see.

In the PRC, the CCP controls the media and restricts access to foreign media.

In the US, the rich try to persuade people by manipulating the media, but
people are able to access uncensored news (including the Chinese news media).
The person in the US has more access by far than the person in the PRC.
