Democrats throw away American Flags
September 6, 2008
The Democrats sure looked funny with all those American Flags, (with none burning). They seemed out of place and awkward. But they sure were waving them around like they loved this country. Whenever I have gone anywhere that hands out free american flags, we take them home and place them in plants or around the house like souvenirs.
As democrats filed into the convention center and mile high stadium, I’m sure they were just handed the flags. Miscellaneous event workers told them to wave them around and pretend like you love the country! However once the lights went off and the Obama left the stage, the flags went on the ground and in the trash.
The Denver Post is reporting workers at Mile High Stadium saved thousands and thousands of discarded and unused flags that the DNC had planned to throw away. The flags will be used when John McCain and Sarah Palin travel to Colorado Springs today for a rally.
Hot Air broke the story and have some really funny comments you have to check out.
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!

It just goes to show how patriotic(NOT)the liberal base is, He(obama) even took our flag off his jet and replaced it with his own muslim looking symbol, If he gets in the whitehouse he will try and replace our flag with his own symbol.SAVE OUR FLAG AND OUR COUNTRY AND VOTE ..MCAIN/PALIN… GOD BLESS AMERICA
If those are the way the flags were packed, it’s obvious they were NOT tossed on the ground, but rolled up and packed for transfer to another venue. So looking @ the pic,i d say they were in fact stolen, and are being used in a typical GOP/Fascist ploy to make the dems look bad.
So, turns out the flags were not “about to be thrown away.” They were being stored for future use, and possibly donation. These workers at Mile High, in effect, stole them. So, good job. Hope the larceny works out real well for McCain.
I was at the Senator Obama’s speech in Denver. You should have seen the hundreds of flags on the ground on the way out… it was disgusting. People were stepping on them like trash.
So as the Republicans complain about flags that were misplaced. Obama is working on issues with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac regarding the crisis with the mortgage industry….The choice for who is better is obivious. Someone that rants and says they are willing to reach across party lines but can’t stop mud slinging.. Or someone that continues to work for us… Obama 08 is the obivious change we need…
Obama is a muslim. NO THANK YOU
Democrats are f-ing lame mane. They have their heads way up there a$$. Odelay he is a pinche and he can suck my culo. Good day to you.
What about an invisible symbol/contract that has been dragged thru the mud while Bush was in office! That would be the constitution!
A lot of men and women have died to give us the promises on the constitution!
Why would the Democrats just leave their flags at the arena and not tell anyone???
If they were truly stolen, 1,200 flags would be enough for grand theft charges. Where is the police report?
Oh, there isn’t one, the story about them being stolen was a lie. To cover their unpatriotic butts!!!
The flag to the democrats is just cloth and Ink. There are pictures of Biden’s flag on the ground. Obama wouldn’t wear a flag pin on his suit. Was the suit so expensive that he thought it would be ruined or is what the flag represents?
Obama took the flag off of his jet. HUH, they say the symbol “O” is for Obama, yea we know it is for Oprah.
When it comes to unemployment record the lowest number wins. You would think with Obama’s recent speeches we were doomed. Yes the unemployment is up to 6.1% from a 40 year record 5 years ago. Clinton, never had it so good. His average unemployment rate for his presidency 5.4%, Bush got an average of 5.0%. Why are democrats dumb? They believe anything.
Yea, I understand some of you just got your feelings hurt and now are defensive and are thinking of things to type. Please do your party a favor, calm down and write something intelligent!! I am tired of reading fiction from ignorant people.
