Democrats throwing away American Flags after convention
Republican Recycling

September 6, 2008

This morning, Republicans tell me that a worker at Invesco Field in Denver saved thousands of unused flags from the Democratic National Convention that were headed for the garbage. Guerrilla campaigning. They will use these flags at their own event today in Colorado Springs with John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Before McCain speaks today, veterans will haul these garbage bags filled with flags out onto the stage — with dramatic effect, no doubt — and tell the story.

"What you see in the picture I sent you is less than half of total flags," a Republican official emailed. "We estimate the total number to be around 12,000 small flags and one full size 3×5 flag."


I'm not sure what the DNC was supposed to do with unused hand-flags, frankly. But the Republicans are obviously questioning someone's patriotism here.

There are more photos of flags being trashed at the Pepsi Center where the first days of the Dem convention were held indoors.

I've been to many, MANY GOP presidential campaign events over the years and never do I recall seeing a single American flag tossed into the trash after the event. And yes, since I was a key political officer at some of these events I did often stay until the event was over. The flags I have from the events with President Reagan are now treasured reminders of those golden days.

Apparently, Democrats see the flag only as a prop to be discarded when the event was over. Does the flag hold so little meaning for Democrats that they treat it as trash rather than reuse it?

Rescued Flags to Be Reused at McCain Palin Rally

The flags are on their way to a McCain Palin rally in Colorado Springs where the Boy Scouts and Veterans of Foreign Wars will distribute them to the GOP faithful.

All I can say is this....

But it doesn't surprise me....  Since Obama voted NO to admend the Constitution PROHIBIT the desecration of the UNITED STATES FLAG....  BTW - McCain voted YES to protect our flag, as did most REPUBLICANS...  Check it out for yourself...  Thank GOD Florida VOTED in Favor of trying to SAVE OUR FLAG!!!!

If you honestly believe that? You're hysterical and unreasonably scared.

Believe what?  the fact that they threw flags away, or the fact that he voted NO to protect our flag... 

You ask me, you're hysterically in the dark.

[MedicMudder]

when they was passing the flags out at the Demo get together in Col,the people had puzzled looks on there faces,they were told to WAVE THEM THEY ARE FLAGS !!!!!

[klutchbuster400]

I dont believe it.

[gtnwood]

Unfortunately it is very true, and also so so sad that the Democratic party or at least the Democratic elite use Old Glory as merely a prop when it's beneficial to them. True I am a registered Republican, but an Independant thinker and I have plenty family members who are lifelong Democrats who are regularly disgusted with their political party but cant bring themselves to change parties because they continue to hold out hope that their party will come back to them and their principles and beliefs.

Subject: Obama explains National Anthem

   

Hot on the heels of his explanation for why he no longer wears a flag pin, presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama was forced to explain why he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.

According to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171, During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart.

'As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides,' Obama said. 'There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.'

WHAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this could possibly be our next president. I, for once, am speechless.

He better take sides..........if he is not on the side of AMERICA he MUST NOT EVEN BE CONSIDERED for the office he is seeking. We do not need a man in office that will not salute the flag. The world knows how to sing, what they need to know is that the USA will defend what that flag stands for.

It's shocking to think that any American would consider voting for this guy. He has no experience, he's racist, won't honor our flag or anthem, wants to hold talks with terrorists, see's Iran as no threat, yet wants to be the leader of our country.

[gtnwood]

Unfortunately the weak minded simply want change, at any cost. Same thing happened when they elected Clinton and look how that turned out, people have a very short memory

I can see Obama rapping this... 3:36 and on

Here's another one. Obama being interviewed, he slips and says my Muslim faith.

The lipstick comment:  www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZd_Y_D-RaA

[AintSkeered]

As far as the alleged convention flags issue goes, the Dems should just hire Scooter Libby, Oliver North, G. Gordon Liddy or the convention's janitor to take the fall. If two gay men or women marry, does one wear lipstick or both? Can a hetero man lawfully marry a bisexual woman? If McCain's not questioning Obama's faith, yet his minions insist upon doing so, how can millions of Americans support McCain? And, since marriage was invented for the procreation of the human species, we need to ban sex change operations, so that the "one  male/one female" rule can't be circumvented, ban any/all childrenless marriages and dissolve any marriage which does not produce a child after the first nine months.

Afer you pulled a Kerry and chance you post I will do the same


I can't answer the first or second question....but on the third question I can.


Its the right choice!  Country First

know what kills me... that *************************** (replace with swear words and racial names) Oprah is by Obama's side because its a black thing.  All of these blacks say they are voting for Obama an if you ask them why what views do you like that he has they say "because he's black".  Oprah notice how when she was with other blacks talked like a jungle bunny but when she isnt around them she talks normal?  its not just her its almost all of them.  somewhat normal until they are with eachother.  I hope Oprah goes down with Obama I hear bangs right now lol

Logically what Obama said makes perfect sence. The anthem does convey a kind of war like message, so I can see why he thinks that way. He wants other countries to like Americans, so mabe by us not being so full of ourselves and flaunting flags all over the place like were the best, other countries might like us more.

[AintSkeered]

McCain can't win by simply discussing the real issues of the past several years and thus this kind of thread is occuring. Here's an example of a real issue; http://em.mansellgroup.net/seiu/hcu_20080909.htm
