Conservative conference attendees erupt in cheers when the U.S. is eliminated as Olympics site.


Conservatives are currently gathered in Virginia for the American for Prosperity’s Defending the American Dream Summit, which features speakers such as radio host Hugh Hewitt and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Today when the IOC announced that the United States was eliminated from the running to host the 2016 Olympics, a room of conference attendees immediately laughed and applauded. Watch it:

The Weekly Standard “world headquarters” also erupted in cheers today at the announcement, although blogger John McCormack later changed his blog post and deleted the reference.

1. Conservatives, why do you hate America?

[Selatius]

2. Let them gloat. Brazil will piss them off in the end with how they are handling Honduras.

For those who aren't aware, Brazil is not tolerating bullshit from the RIGHT WING dictatorship in Honduras.

3. Brazil won't piss them off unless they have a (D) after their name.

Sorry, but the r/w can't compute past their partisan brains.

4. Well of course they did,just as I would have cheered if Bush wanted Dallas and lost.

Politics is a dirty,mean-spirited business,I'm afraid.

[AllieB]

7. No, they didn't cheer when NYC lost the Olympics and Bush was President.

Nor did Democrats. This is something completely different. It's irrational hatred aimed at a black man. And it's completely Un-American.

8. I stand corrected. Thanks.

10. Funny that never happened. Did idiot son do anything to make nice

5. s l u g s .....

it's beyond partisanship...it's beyond politics

[MadMaddie]

14. That's just it

Their personal rage against the "Black" President Obama has blinded them to hatred against America and the media will not call them on it.

Limpballs was litterally having an orgasm over the US not getting the bid.

One other thought, is it possible they didn't want to deal with American Airports? Hell half the athletes probably wouldn't be able to come into the US. Just a random thought............

6. They must 'think' the Olympics are part of the UN.

Which goes to show how bigotry, greed, small-mindededness, and a fascist mindset get along like a nation on fire.

9. Why DO republicons HATE America?

You have to wonder, over and over.

The right wingers are not for the welfare of the Nation, but for their own interests; viz: greed, corporations. obscene ceo salaries/benefits, etc. But on the other hand, who the hell thought that Chicago's video taped to the world of the murder of an honor student would entice anyone to have the Olympics there??? And why the video taper didn't call 911? The whole thing is sick, sick, sick. Kudos to Obama for trying... :applause:

12. Why du you hate American, Freepers?

[struggle4progress]

13. After all, nothing could possibly be more frightening than foreigners coming here to spend money!

[BluDemocratGirl]

15. Now, I see who are the REAL, anti-Americans! The right-chicken wingers, of course.

Take notes, Michelle Bachmann!
