SO I hear Republicans Think Lapel Pin Gate will fly STRONG REBUTTAL HERE

I really don't think they want to use that as an arguement. All the democrats have to do is run ads proving how hypocritical they are in words and in pictures.
I say bring it Repukes, because you will look like the hypocritical fools you are.

Jack Kingston: Republican Hypocrite (UPDATED)

Two days ago I wrote about the right wing's latest attack on Barack Obama--basically, that he's unpatriotic because he doesn't wear an American flag lapel pin.

Some excerpts--and Kingston's stunning hypocricy--below the fold.

Democrashield's diary :: ::
Key excerpts:

Of course, anyone with $2 in their pocket can wear an American flag pin, regardless of what they believe. In fact, how many politicians have worn that pin while tearing down nearly everything this great country stands for?

Patriotism isn’t defined by what we wear–it’s defined by what we do. And through his actions, Barack Obama has shown us what true patriotism is

<...>

So, Barack Obama doesn’t wear a flag lapel pin. But you know what? Neither does (Oh wait till you see who is caught)

~snip~

I won't, though--it's just plain stupid to judge someone's patriotism on whether or not they wear a $2 flag lapel pin. This all just shows how desperate Republicans are to attack Obama--they don't have legitimate criticism to throw at him, so they come up with this kind of gutter politics nonsense.

Of course, it's backfiring because these guys keep getting caught with their pants down. Note to Republicans: if you're going to criticize someone for not wearing a flag pin, you better make sure there aren't a bunch of pictures out there of you not wearing yours. Because this hypocricy exposes you for what you are--desperate, shameless partisan hacks.

Just like Jack Kingston--the shame of Georgia.
