Here is the yahoo link to the pictures. http://news.yahoo.com/lawmakers-want-made-china-u-olympic-uniforms-burned-174456466--abc-news-politics.html To me the pictures I've seen look like they came straight from Nazi Germany, North Korea, or Communist Russia. They also remind me of those old communist propaganda cartoon drawings that people post every now and then to make a point. A show of the times I guess. Seig Heil!

no, it isn't just you. they're ridiculous looking. everything this country does has become a joke and an embarrassment.
I'm glad you said that. I thought it was just me. We're in a time of insanity. "If we don’t adhere to the Constitution on matters as significant as presidential eligibility, then the Constitution ceases to be a meaningful document for guiding our nation."
OMG they are UNISEX, LMAO, we are all Hitlery's comrades now boyz and grrls. Heard they were made in China too...LMAO. Eff the LIMP-ICKS, I won't be watching. This just in........Pole Dancing to be Olympic Sport: www.abc2news.com/dpp/news...ered-for-an-olympic-event I loathe repetitiveness, but Eff the LIMP-ICKS.
I dunno Hayek. They look more like old-style prep school than Chairman Mao or Hitlerjugend. They cost almost two grand a set including the lame beret. Notice the clever set up. The same bunch that have sold our gigs to China have found an incendiary issue to stoke up a little populist enmity against the same. I look to see more of these kinds of psychological ploys. [snip] Reid said today that the U.S. Olympic committee should be "ashamed of themselves," and "embarrassed," that the items were made in China, especially with people in the textile industry in America who are looking for jobs. The Congressional reaction on Capitol Hill today extended to both houses and both parties. "You'd think they know better," Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-OH., said in response to a question from ABC News today. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said that since the Olympic athletes represent the very best in America they should be wearing uniforms made in America. "They work so hard. They represent the very best, and they're so excellent. It's all so beautiful. And they should be wearing uniforms that are made in America." Already there is a movement on Capitol Hill to make changes so this does not happen again at future Olympic Games. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., and Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., wrote a letter Thursday morning to the chairman of the U.S. Olympic Committee, Lawrence Probst, calling this revelation "shocking and deeply disappointing" and asking all U.S. team's uniforms be made in America in the future. www.mediabistro.com/tvnew...e-changes-after-abc-news- report-on-chinese-made-u-s-olympic-team-uniforms_b137384 proud to be an american... {insert music symbols here}
It's because ALL major brands are made in China, I don't know of ANY that are made in the USA anymore. deleted

If you've got the Lee Greenwood version running thru your mind........ STOP!!!!!!!!!! That's no longer Allowed!!!!!!!! Been Banned!!!!!!!! NOT P.C.!!!!!

Maybe its just the pose they are in. Calling Ron Paul an isolationist is like calling your neighbor a hermit because he doesn't come over and break your window - unknown Running around screaming “9/11" at Obama critics to justify his ongoing American violence in the Muslim world is like running around screaming “lung cancer” to justify heavy cigarette smoking. It isn’t those of us who oppose American aggression in the Muslim world who need manipulative, exploitative reminders about 9/11; it’s those who cheer for these policies who are making a follow-up attack ever more likely. - Glenn Greenwald
Yeah, I see what you're saying. It's not the uniforms it's the socialist realism type pose. Look like a WWII soviet monument. Stilted. Monumental. Frozen. Un-American. I didn't know we had 1/2 a million athletes going to the Olympics. That's how many it would take to keep 1 billion dollars here. I thought free trade and globalization was a good thing. So the Olympic committee a private org. should buy american but the us govt. doesn't and is trying to sign a treaty, the IPP that will make it illegal require it.

Mitt used Canadian made berets for the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics. If you've seen one D&R globalist anti-American traitor, you've seen em all! Those berets were made by Roots, a Canadian company that was the official U.S. team outfitter for that opening ceremony. http://www.ajc.com/sports/lawmakers-furious-over-china-1477383.html Thanks for the info. Clinton's globalist contracting of the Army's berets to China was illegal and, imo, grounds for impeachment. ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col.

"I think they should take all the uniforms, put them in a big pile and burn them and start all over again," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said when asked by ABC News today, "If they have to wear nothing but a symbol that says USA on it, painted by hand, that is what they should wear."

ABC News reached out to Ralph Lauren and the U.S. Olympic Committee Wednesday and asked why American-made clothing had not been selected for the athletes.

The must-have souvenir of the (Mitt Romney) 2002 Salt Lake Games was a fleece beret, something that athletes wore in the opening ceremony and prompted countless people to spend hours on lines waiting to purchase during those Olympics.
My joy over McCain's defeat, is offset by my disappointment over hObama's victory.

And just because they’re made in China doesn’t mean they’re cheap. The Ralph Lauren uniforms run $1,945 for men, and $1,473 for women, including the $55 beret.
