I don’t know what’s worse: The fact that Barack Obama hangs out with guys who stomp on the American flag and scream out “God Damn America” while refusing to wear the now-ubiquitous American flag pin on his lapel, or the fact that he every once in a while he puts the pin on his chest while expecting us all to believe that it means something.

That he usually does this when speaking in front of rural and/or red state crowds is just the icing on the cake.

Back when he was just refusing to wear the pin at least you could respect him for taking a stand on principle even if you found that principle to be despicable.
