Sen. Charles Schumer suggested Monday that, instead of boycotting the 2014 Olympic Games in Russia altogether, countries should wave rainbow flags during the opening ceremonies to show support for gay rights, The Hill reported.

“That’d be pretty embarrassing for Putin,” the New York Democrat said on MSNBC. “Let our athletes participate but still make a stand.”

It’s the Gay flag that is illegal. Not the Gay people.

The concept of “the straw that broke the camel’s back” is defunct, I guess. EVERY day, more lunacy.

Respect the laws of the host country or pay the price. What would Schumer say to holding a bikini contest in Saudi Arabia?

How could you tell it was the gay flag and not the flag of the latest post-revolution country from Africa?

That would be pretty embarrassing for the United States. Not at all for Putin and Russia.

This would be so outrageously disrespectful to the host country. Plus like some said above this, not everybody would support this.

What class. What a way to act in the host country. Typical American Liberal. Flaunt your sin and shame in everyone’s face and declare it brave and honorable. Woe to those who call evil good!

This obsession with gay issues is absurd. Rome is burning, and the left is hyper focused on a side show.

Hey Chucky, what if not all of our athletes are okay with that? What if some of our athletes are not atheists, but Christian or even Muslim? Will you prohibit them from attending and participating because they don’t support your gay agenda? Why is that lately I find myself agreeing more with what Russia is doing than our administration?

So instead of the American flag he would substitute the Sodom and Gomorrah flag? Lovely. I hope New Yorkers are proud this morning.

WHOA, *HORRIBLE* misspelling there:

There, that's better.

...Because so long as public attention is focused on the side show, maybe no one will notice that Rome is burning?

No. These people are an embarrassment. The fact that this country keeps electing them is an embarrassment. The fact that they make perversion their highest foreign policy issue is an embarrassment.

And wouldn’t that be in violation of the Russian law prohibiting homo advocacy? In other words, isn’t upChuck urging the athletes to break the law?

Talk about cultural jingoism. Oh, but it’s to promote a deviant culture so it’s okay ...

Nice try hijacking the thread. Would have gone with Brooklyn Decker.

Needless to say, maybe they should also fly the Straight Flag.

This would embarrass the United States. Do these Gay-philes not care whom else they might offend just to placate the Gays who give Dems $?

It would also violate Russia’s criminal law. It specifically make illegal Gay propaganda and promotion.

Schumer is a dumb SOB POS

Another reason to not watch the opympics again, methinks.

As for Schumer, I’ll vote for someone to fly that loser from the flagpole. And I will absolutely refuse to take him down - no matter how matter how much the sorry sack of sh...er...Obamastuff cries.

_______________________________________________________

Chucky is a very brave man (read: STUPID!). Does he not realize that God gave humans the sign of the rainbow to signify that the world would never again be destroyed by a flood. It was a covenant a Holy God made with man, His creation.

Sen. Schumer, God is not mocked; not even by a secular Jew. You aren't just thumbing your nose at the Russian people for your support of this most evil perversion; you are indeed mocking the Holy God of the Universe! You won't be able to stand before God and say: "I didn't know..."

Perhaps Obama could use the Olympics as a venue to come out of the closet and tell the world that he is Bathhouse Barry Obama and proud of it.

What a slap in the face that would be to Pootie Poot.
