"Two hours before the Olympic flame began its undignified trek through the deserted streets and freeways of San Francisco, The Times witnessed the tension between pro-Tibet groups and Chinese demonstrations, some of whom had reportedly been bussed in by the Chinese Embassy.

The authorities in San Francisco faced a different problem: more than a third of the city’s residents claim some kind of Asian heritage. Many of them took to the streets in support of the Chinese Government — raising the spectre of violent confrontations.

No doubt, Bill and Hillary contributors and/or Chicom supporters and possibly agents.

WTF is this country coming too?

Moozies, Illegal Aliens, Chicom supporters, etc., ad nauseum, all not only unwilling to assimilate but extremely anti American and deliberately undermining our freedoms.

Makes me glad I'm a Seasoned Citizen, but my heart goes out for future generations as I fear from what this country will look like in 20 - 30 years---IF it survives.

It's a shame.The Bay area is dominated by Asians, they are the Demonstrators. Just another Immigrant group that wants to fight a war in their home country from a safe place at the "Fireplace", in this case America.
Get your feet wet and fight it in China.

Fight it in China. No way. They want the Americans to do the fighting; being the policeman of the world and all that good stuff.

The olympic games are for everyone, not just China. These people harassing the torch carriers are disgusting. And yeah I do despise China too, but this is not the way to protest.

The Mayor of Atlanta should organize and apply to the Olympic Committee to replace China with Atlanta only about 2 months later.

The China Olympics will be a joke.

San Francisco punted. While sneaking down back streets and alternate routes the dignity of the event was removed. Fear won. Bullies won.

Who to root for? The Lefties protesting the Olympics in Communist China? Or the Lefties supporting the Chinese Communists?

Or should we remain neutral and let the Lefties destroy each other? This is like Stalinist Russia.

Agreed. I was on site and would love to post my detailed review but I’m not sure how to do that here since it’s not a media report.

Awarding the olympics to China was a grave mistake IMO. This torch thing isn’t the farce. The farce was awarding these games to a nation like China in the first place.

I think they did it on purpose to bring China's problems into plain view. Putting China's problems on the world stage for a few months might invoke some change...

Do we learn nothing from the past? Seriously.

Did the 1936 games change Hitler into a gentle loving leader?

What planet did the IOC members come from, that they didn’t know governments like 1936 Germany and 2008 China don’t base their actions on world opinion. They expect to own the world in a decade and a half. Why would they care to change minds through selling out their goals, when they plan on changing them by opression in the near future.

China rules by iron fist today, and it will in 2508.
