Democrats Tried To Send American Flags From Obama Rally To A Landfill

That’s right.  The “greenest convention in history” wasn’t even going to recycle them or anything.  Let alone dispose of them in a manner befitting our national symbol.

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.

So the Democrats could ban fried foods, create hybrid-only parking and sell carbon credits at their convention but they couldn’t come up with a way to properly dispose of some American flags?

Classy, Democrats.  Real classy.

Ask me why I’m not surprised by this. B. Hussein Obama and his Democratic liberal left-leaning Anti-American following used the flag at the DNC only as a prop so they wouldn’t look so unAmerican. They don’t respect our national symbol and they definitely in truth hate America...that the change they are asking all Amerian’s to “believe in!”

I say kick them all out of the Country and let them form their own socialist government on some island in the middle of no where...and take Hellywood with them...or I know, build them a green city in the middle of the ocean! Maybe the next Hurricane would swallow them up! Now that’s change I could believe in! LOL

Recycle them? What use would a liberal have for an American flag after the TV cameras have gone home????
(That was a rhetorical question! Don’t question their patriotism!)

Were they big enough to dance on? Maybe Bill Ayers could have taken some home?

Still, you have to admit that “flags as garbage” is pretty tacky at best!

I would have expected them to re-cycle them into ayers shoe soles.
THe leftists have no respect for the Flag nor this Country.

According to AmericanFlags.com:
When a U.S. flag is so worn it is no longer fit to serve as a symbol of our country, it should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner. Most American Legion Posts, VFW Chapters and Boy Scout Troops regularly conduct dignified flag burning ceremonies, often on Flag Day, June 14th. Contact your local American Legion Hall, VFW Chapter or Boy Scout Troop to inquire about the availability of this service. NEVER THROW A FLAG IN THE GARBAGE!

He needs to be impeached.  I am positive that Obama told someone to throw away the American flags.  That Bastard!  He hates America. 

yet another pinhead post....keep em coming.

Imagine - yes B. Hussein Obama hates America and many of the staunch liberal democrats and celebrities who support him also hate America. But they are the minority and I don’t think there is a snow-balls chance in hell this man will win!!! You can’t go by polls because they are slanted by the liberals. The polls didn’t have Reagan winning either and he won a landslide victory with Democrats crossing the isle and Republicans going in droves to the voting booths.

There are too many of the “silent majority” - even Democrats that never say a word but they are not stupid and they know this man is not what he is protraying to the American public. They don’t trust him and they will not vote for him. You won’t see them crashing political rally’s like Code Pink or the other radical anarcists. You won’t hear their voices on the nightly news, but they will be heard in power at the voting booth this November!

What the liberals fear most is Sarah Palin! They are scared spit-less!lol Every smear that comes out of the mouths of these trolls, makes me smile from ear-to-ear!

I see a land-slide victory for McCain/Palin come November!

He’d need to be President before we could impeach him, and that’s not going to happen.

I’m surprised they even had American Flags at the DNC. They were small behind his Greek Columns but they were there. But you know what they really mean to them, when they trash them like that!

So it was only for show that they put them up in the first place. It certainly wasn’t for love of this Country!

God grant American’s the wisdom to see through this man’s smooth rhetoric! He needs to move to Kenya...maybe he could live with his Muslim brother or I’m sure some other relatives over there would take him in!...oh yes, and send all the liberal celebrity air-heads with him, including Oprah!...we need to clean up Hollywood anyway!

Too bad this is lie. Whom ever started this will be exposed for the liar that they are. It’s a distraction from the issues, because the republicans are going down, and they know it. If they were sending them to the trash, I highly doubt they would have been all neatly rolled up. Epic fail republican losers.

There’s a good reason for throwing away the flags.
b.o. had ordered his newly designed U.S. flags and
somebody sent him Old Glory instead. On his flags the

“Like a lot of my Democratic colleagues I was too slow to appreciate the recklessness of Fannie and Freddie. I defended their efforts to encourage affordable homeownership when in retrospect I should have heeded the concerns raised by their regulator in 2004. Frankly, I wish my Democratic colleagues would admit when it comes to Fannie and Freddie, we were wrong. By the way, I wish my Republican colleagues would admit that they missed the early warning signs, that Wall Street deregulation was overheating the securities market and promoting dangerously lax lending practices. When it comes to the debacle in our capital markets, there is much blame to go around for both sides.”

You know, I think all this silliness is counter-productive.  Let’s discuss the issues instead of all this gotcha bs.

Bill Mitchell on September 6, 2008 at 12:44 pm

The DNC tickets Obama handed out had an “upside down” flag on them. This is considered an act of distress...and he hadn’t even heard about Palin yet! lol

According to the US Flag Code, (Title 36, U.S.C., Chapter 10) the flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property. This man is an absolute idiot!

That’s all you got? An unattributed talking point from headquaters? Were any babies sacrificed?

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.

Of course the ‘angel’ GOP would never throw anything away. They are all staunch recyclers and composters.

STFU.

My guess would be when McCain physically removes said flags from trash known as democrats. You are still waiting for that moment!

The claims of trashing or stealing of the DNC American flags are both wrong.  I have heard from an authority (BHO) that there were at least seven stars missing from them so these were not official U.S. flags.

“My assessment is that the surge has not worked and we will not see a different report eight weeks from now.” (NBC’s “The Today Show,” 7/18/07)

Senator Barack Obama

On the O’Riley Factor last night:

“I think that the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated,” Obama finally admitted to O’Reilly in an interview taped Thursday in York, PA. “It’s succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.” (9/4/2008)

Barack Hussein Obama

This flip-flopper beats John Kerry who was considered the pro of flip-flops!

He’s not sure where he stands on any issue...his Senate record proves that as he voted “present” 130 times!

He doesn’t understand foreign policy. First he didn’t see Iran as a major threat and wanted to communicate with them unconditionally...then when pressed by O’Reilly, he stated Iran was a major threat if they obtained nuclear weapons and he wouldn’t take the military option off the table.

This is a man that will say anything he thinks will bring him votes depending on what venue and target audience he’s speaking to.

And he thinks he’s ready to lead this Nation? Not in his wildest dreams!

All you jackasses who really believe that the Democrats left the flags for garbage are just ignorant idiots. Do you really think even if they intended to dump them,they would leave if for the RNC to find? Geezus, you small minded Americans really come a dime a dozen.

Should the Reps win this election and more of the same is proven to be true, i hope you all have enough saved to beat the hard times, if picking a VP or Pres. is based on Palen just cuz she’s Female and it’s history, then you’re all misguided. In these hard economic times, your money should be on the person who can help your wallet, whether it’s black or white, male or female. But picking Palen cuz of gender show’s small mindedness.

Did you guys know, Americans that is, that the whole world looks at most americans are “stupid” and uneducated? Why? Because of your way of thinking. People such as the “KKK” make that notion somewhat true.

Pick O’bama or McCain, If you please, but do it for the right reasons. We all have something to lose on the outcome of this election. The wrong choice could enhance Terrorism, create more difficult foreign relations and harsher economic times.

It’s clear, the owner of the headline in this blog is an O’Bama hater. Without any evidence he makes that statement. The Democrats have denounced the notion that they have disrespected the flag and that the RNC are trying start a new wave of inuendo and false allegations. If this blogger is truly openminded and independent he would include the denounciation of the Dems. but I hardly think he/she is capable of fairness.

Felix on September 12, 2008 at 06:44 am

Felix?
Fairness?
Don’t shed any tears over it. ‘Fairness’. THE HUMANITY!
