Actually this is an opportunity (and the lib-tards have fallen for it) to show just how retarded they are.

Piers Morgan and even 'Wil Wheaton' had stuck their foot in it. He tweeted something disparaging and then had to backtrack and say he was joking.

Here it is:

America's first gold medal in the 2016 Olympics was won by a teenager for shooting. Because we now live inside @TheOnion.

Right. No, he's just showing his ignorance. Oh, and even though he was good in 'Stand by Me', I take issue with the press calling him 'Actor' Wil Wheaton. He's a has-been. Hopefully now, more than before. :D

Thank you, Nightmare, for providing the Fair-Use-Quotes of the articles for discussion.

I'm curious, though I'm sure I can guess the correct answer, even though I don't have TV: Was America's first opportunity at a Gold Medal even televised here? Or were we instead forced to watch two other countries play to a 1-1 tie in a qualifying soccer round or something?

The media only shows you what they want you to see....even of the Olympics.

Today we had Ping Pong.
