[stop the bleeding]

1. I know - total twilight zone

:beer:

[Joe the Revelator]

2. wtf is going on? Its a complete hit piece

[Patsy Stone]

3. It's all about gossip and bullshit.

:eyes:

[moc]

4. Seeing people like that makes one despair for the American people.

What a dip shit.

:puke:

[chknltl]

5. Brilliant question!

If it were asked by a fifth grader

[rzemanfl]

6. As opposed to what????????????? n/t

[Catherine Vincent]

7. I heard that woman.

What a dumb ass question!

[crispini]

8. Am I watching daytime television or a presidential debate?

Seriously, what's that show? Geraldo? Maury Povich? "I married my sister but I didn't know it?" This shit is PATHETIC.

[DAGDA56]

9. I can't believe ABC is proud of this crap....which is what I thought Obama was about to say.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

10. Flag, howz 'bout this one

[City Lights]

18. And the ABC logo is on it!

:toast:

[mac2]

22. Very clever.

[L0oniX]

23. Or this one...

[mac2]

31. Also a sign of our times unfortunately.

[mac2]

11. Only if the American flag represents democracy.

[uppityperson]

12. Did they ask it all in CAPS too? Seems likely. WTF indeed.

How does one believe, or not believe, in a flag? Define the terms, whomever it was that asked the question.

[Haole Girl]

13. I can't even believe this MSM smear campaign

Ugh

WHY do they keep agreeing to these debates?!?!

*sigh*

[Squatch]

14. ...

[undeterred]

15. How about do you believe in torture?

[LSK]

16. WEATHER FUCKING UNDERGROUND!?!?!?!?FUCK THIS SHIT

IM TURNING ON THE BASEBALL GAME!!1

[JoFerret]

17. Whoa GS asks a tough question

.

[Inspired]

19. Not as fashion. n/t

[XemaSab]

20. Mmmm... nah

:popcorn:

[Citizen_Penn]

21. Nope, it's a piece of cloth.

The only American symbol I value are the WORDS contained within that marvelous document...

The Constitution


And I'd like to see consequences for messing with it.

Every signer of that danged Patriot Act should answer for their signature.

[L0oniX]

25. Agreed ...I don't worship the flag

[mac2]

28. The Constitution should be protected above all else...even

the flag I think. Without it we don't have a democracy or freedom. We can always make a flag but not replace our democracy and freedoms.

When I move and decorate once again I'm putting up the Constitution and the founders on my wall to remind me to not let them take it away. Too many generations fought and sacrificed for it.

Any candidate running for public office should be required to say they will honor it and the meaning behind it. A Presidential winner in 2008 should negate the Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act, etc. within the first hour of office. Just like Jefferson did when Adams took away rights.

Here's an American flag company in Ohio. Guess that's why the politician from there is concerned. http://www.annin.com/about.asp Flags made in Ohio.

[Bonobo]

24. Hillary fans think it was a wonderful question.

[rug]

26. The whole thing, the issue, the question, the response, the reaction, is fucked up.

The flag has become a fetish.

[mac2]

32. The flags keep getting bigger don't they?

When I turn on the TV I see politicans standing in front of many and larger flags. If Obama is so flag obsessed how about saving our democracy and freedoms by impeaching Bush? It's a false flag idea?

[NC_Nurse]

27. I believe the flag exists. I've seen them. Now, God on the other hand....

Is that what you mean? }(

[JoFerret]

29. It;s crap. Burn the damn thing.

But politicians have the play the game.
Until the game stops.

[mac2]

30. Don't blame the flag blame the politicians who use patriotism

to get their agenda. The are pompous baffons.

[donheld]

33. You mean the way Dick Cheney and * do?

[GoesTo11]

34. HRC co-sponsored a bill to criminalize the burning of the American flag!

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/07/opinion/07wed2.html

[Citizen_Penn]

37. Yeah, know that

could be yet another reason why I'll never,never, never

VOTE FOR HER.

[boppers]

35. Burn a flag, burn a bible, whatever.

Paper, fabric... all the same. It's only reich-wingers who freak out about "desecration" of symbols.

"Do you believe in E Pluribus Unum" only applies to one candidate, though.

[mac2]

39. Right.

What's important is our freedom and democracy. Neither a flag or Bible can protect and prevent that.

[laylah]

36. I used to...

now I am just ashamed.

[Hepburn]

38. I cannot even comprehend that question.

How does one "believe" in an inanimate object? :shrug:

That question is stupid on so many levels...

[shadowknows69]

40. He should have pointed to one in the Constitution Center and said

Yep, sure do, there's one right there.

[LSK]

41. this is the Pentagons idea of "Supporting the Troops" -->>>
