ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., is calling on President George W. Bush to boycott the opening ceremony at the Olympics this summer.
First reported on the Drudge Report, Clinton's call for a boycott specifically cites China's reaction to recent violence in Tibet and inaction in Darfur.
"The violent clashes in Tibet and the failure of the Chinese government to use its full leverage with Sudan to stop the genocide in Darfur are opportunities for Presidential leadership," Clinton said in a written statement.

I know that I am not watching them. This again was a monumental mistake to award them the games. When they change their ways then & only then should they get them. What butt kissers we are to these Chi-Coms.
Why is Hillary trying to PO her biggest campaign donors?
It ain’t happening.
Sounds like just about any U.S. University or Al Gore's AWG cult.
You’re almost correct. She won all three, the bronze, silver, and gold.
No one was foolish enough to try competing with her.
She also won the broad jumping medals.

Broad:
(1) Female.
(2) Large in expanse…meaning her ass.
I really hate to disagree with you, for the broad-jumping winner was....trlalalala——”Wm. J. C.”
The truth is that those young people in China are much more pro-Western because of exposure to the world via the high tech and the internet.
The bent one told his girl friend that Hillary has had more than him.
Makes you wonder if Bush doesn’t go if she will show up at the last second trying to get brownie points for some pretend peace mission she will say she is on.
If he didn’t go, it wouldn’t be because she said so. Maybe he’ll send Billy Jeff.
Is this her best effort at foreign relations? Has anyone ever told her just what the Olympics stands for and that it transcends politics in individual countries?
Chinese middle class growing will have little effect politically, any more than all the economic gains in Germany weakened the Nazis.
The only thing the Chinese people have been conditioned to respect is power. And an international boycott of the Olympics will severely weaken their perceived strength in the eyes of the people, and that’s what’s needed to bring down the regime.
Sure, a boycott will light some nationalism fuses, but the first thing that fire will want to burn is not foreigners, but the ineffective leadership that caused the nation to lose face.
> Hillary was in the Olympics once, wasn’t she? Didn’t she win a bronze medal for the 100-yard lie?
Hillary was in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, as a Gymnast. She won Gold for that... umm... flop-floppy event — you know the one. And the Equestrian event: she and her rider won gold, too. Target shooting — you guessed it, Gold again. She was the only competitor who managed to duck all the bullets to score a perfect 10.
It would not suprise me if the young people of China are very much supportive of the pro-freedom efforts in their own way.
That is now happening with the torch relay with all the protests.
Has she offered to return all the money the Chinese contributed to Bill’s campaigns and library? Bill is planning a trip to China soon...not sure of the dates...so she’s probably trying to get the president not to attend the Olympic games because it would take away all the attention from him. For “the smartest woman in the world” she’s unbelievably stupid and definitely has a tin ear when it comes to politics.
They were...until Tiananmen Square.
