So, I suppose, "Dems/Liberals" learned from the master...

Might want to check your dates there. Lincoln had been dead for 6 years at that point.

Crap like this is more reason for me to not watch a second of the Games. I already decided not to, due to their responsibility for the WuFlu

Decreased viewership = lower ratings = less TV revenue in future = less likelihood of another Games being held there.

Honestly, I'm so disgusted with China that I don't want to see or hear anything about the hellhole.

The TV ratings only indirectly punish the IOC. It's probably not likely to have much impact on TV contracts. The social pressure mechanism is probably more powerful than the profit mechanism in cases like this, but not sure the IOC cares about that. They're not a corporation in a competitive market. They are an international governing body.

So there is probably nothing to be done.

Be careful. Your owners will use this against you in the future. ;)
