reached epidemic proportions with flags displayed everywhere and most were at fault for the manner in which they were displayed. Did any groups protest this, NO! Crickets were all you heard. SO once again hypocrisy at work. No I do not condone the Obama flag depicted here, it was bad taste. But if you want to display the flag do so according to the rules.
