Disrupting the Olympic Torch Ceremony

Apr 10, 2008 13:54


These past few days, I'm sure you've all shared my abject disgust of the protestors in San Fransisco doing their level best to turn the Olympic Torch ceremony into something political. These people - no matter what their intentions may be - are all basically barbarians, one and all. This ceremony has a long and prestigeous history, and is rightly called "sacred" in many circles. We observe it today in rememberance of the very first Olympic Torch ceremony: One invented by Adolf Hitler's propogandist, Leni Riefenstahl, in order to glorify Nazi Germany and by extension, the masterhood of the Aryan race.

To turn something like that into something political... it's enough to turn the stomach. By disrespecting the ceremony, you're disrespecting not JUST the People's Republic of China and all of it's repressive, inhuman practices. You're disrespecting the very fundamental legacy of Naziism and indeed Adolf Hitler himself. Where do people get off?

Sarcasm-free: The torch ceremony is a nazi propoganda tool which for some reason the tradition-tards of the world have perpetuated for seventy-two years. I'd be glad to see it put to bed, and anyone who thinks there's anything sacred about it is nothing more than an unthinking beast.

nazis, politics, news
