Against their wishes, they most certainly are. Despite your mastery of spin and double-speak, using the olympics in your RE-ELECTION campaign ad is VERY MUCH promoting a candidate and being political. What freaking parallel universe do you live in?

Unbelievable...

*sigh* Are you all purposely being obtuse? The Olypics are NOT promoting Bush. Bush is promoting Bush by saying there are two countries now free to participate. Again - the Olympics aren't promoting it nor are the Olympics being political.

Sheesh - are you all really that dense? There is no implication that the Olympics support Bush in the ad - its only your anti-Bush hatred talking.

CkG

I can't believe you have the balls to even argue that line. Look Cad, by deliberately placing imagery and using the word "olympics" in a political ad, it gives the viewer the distinct impression that the Bush/Cheney re-election campaign has the approval and support of the U.S. Olympic Committee to do so. Which they DO NOT.

Furthermore, the ad featuring olympic imagery is being used to promote a candidate -- that's the very nature of a politcal campaign ad. Bush/Cheney is misrepresenting the wishes of the U.S. Olympic Committee and politicizing the games. Damn Cad, YOU'RE the one being obtuse.

The U.S. Olympic Committee has the right to control everything having to do with the olympics, just like the NFL and MLB can restrict how game footage, logos, etc. are used or not used. If they say "No, you can't use our imagery or logo or even the word 'olympics'" then you have no legal right to do so. End of story.

Iraq participated in the 2000 Olympics, so that rather blows your argument there.

I don't know what is hard about this CkG.

You are right to say that the Olympics are not promoting a candidate.

You omit that the Olympics are trademarked. Bush (or anyone for that matter) cannot legally use the Olympics in an add without their express consent, just as you could not use the NFL in an add without their permission.

Perhaps you feel Bush is exempt from the law?

Again, the Olympics is what has to be non-political and the Olympics can't promote a candidate. That isn't the case here.

CkG

Holy crap man! Are you freaking blind?!? The olympics appearing in a Bush/Cheney re-election ad is CLEARLY political! How much more clear does it need to be?

Christ, you're seriously losing it...

Read again junior Just because it's in Bush's ad doesn't mean the Olypics is promoting a candidate or the Olympics are being political.

CkG

But it does mean that the Bush campaign has illegally used the term Olympic since the USOC has "exclusive rights to such terms as ?Olympic,? derivatives such as ?Olympiad? and the five interlocking rings."

no reponse CAD?

Buahahaha - yes little johnny you can now sit back down in your seat and quit yelling "pick me...pick me"...

Question for you, is this "illegally" using the word too?

Kerry spokesman Phil Singer said: ?The Bush Administration seems confused about what records it should be setting during the Olympics. You don?t get gold medals for record oil prices, record deficits, or record health care costs. ...

I made the point that you have no defense of why Bush can use imagery owned by the USOC. No matter how clever your one liner, it still doesn't hide the fact that your arguement is stupid. The instant I see Kerry use the olympics in an Ad then I'll say he was wrong to do it. Why don't you try justifying your position instead of repeating clever phrases some one used on you once.

Besides, we both know that I can talk about the NBA to you right now in this post, but if I were to make an ad and use images of the NBA, I would be infringing on their copyright. Same with Bush.

No, and they do not need to no more than you or I.

Damn, cut bait and run. Of all the things you decided to defend this is the dumbest.

Evidently Bush can break the law and it's ok with you. So be it.

CkG

Why should I Cad? Why should I let you divert the thread? I don't think so.

Face it man, you were stupid to attack my statement that the USOC could very easily sue the Bush/Cheney re-election campaign for illegally using their footage/name in their politcal ad. It's quite clear your adoration of everything Bush has blinded you to the basic facts of this thread which you cannot refute:

1.) The Bush/Cheney campaign illegally used the olympic name and footage without the express permission of the USOC.

2.) The Bush/Cheney are politicizing the olympics by using their footage in their re-election campaign ad.

Since you're as stubborn as your man Bush, I'm sure you will go down flailing to your last breath trying to defend him. Fine, hold your ignorant positions, but you're half-assed attempts to deflect these two points are as lame as they are amusing.

Carry on.

And you haven't answered my question either. Here, I'll put it to you another way. Where in the law does it state that word can't be used in a political ad. Then if you find that law - does it also say whether political press releases are exempt? Basically - is there a difference between a political ad by a candidate and a political press release by a candidate - except for that one is on purchased time and the other one is rebleated by the press for free?

Apparently, he does.
