Why doesn't Hillary wear a flag pin?

[WyLoochka]

If someone has asked this - scuse me

If it's so all darn important that our dear leaders wear flag pins - why the fuck isn't she wearing one?

This is a serious question.

I have never seen her wearing a flag pin - what's up with that?

[DJ13]

1. That would be sexist

Not really, but Im sure some Clinton supporter would say something that dumb.

[DesertFlower]

2. good point. nt

[SunsetDreams]

3. no kidding hypocritical of her

[jasmine621]

6. Hillary has never raised the question of flag pins. It's not her fault the media

keeps making an issue of this bullshit.

[guruoo]

16. Good point.

[global1]

4. Good Catch - I Never Picked Up On That........

I guess she is unpatriotic and doesn't love this country. Hey Hillary - you got some 'splaining' to do.

[Cali_Democrat]

5. She's not black, her patriotism will never be questioned by the corporate media

[Emit]

22. zowie!

[dchill]

31. I was wondering how to say that.

Thanks. :)

[City Lights]

7. McCain doesn't wear one either.

Guess it's only a requirement for Obama.

[pompano]

33. McCain doesn't....

wear his because it still has 13 stars in a circle.

He still has to get hip?
:sarcasm:

[Frustratedlady]

8. Aha! Hadn't thought of that. Good one!

[earthlover]

9. a more fitting question would be where in hell was Charlie Gibson's lapel pin?

ass hole

[IsItJustMe]

32. Gibson and Stephanopoulos were not wearing one either. Our media is beyond insane anymore.

[Rockholm]

34. It would have been smart for Obama to have pointed that out.

It would have shut the two of them up. Flag pins are dumb and well know that. Only the Faux assholes and pukes wear them. They have no pride in America and only wear them to mask their disdain for what the flag stands for.

[WyLoochka]

10. No clinton supporters?

to explain why Obama must wear a flag pin - but she doesn't have to?

[flowomo]

11. my question is this: Why didn't Obama ask her?

This is the most frustrating thing about him for me -- he just doesn't seize the opportunity to bury the stupid arguments. All he had to do was turn to Gibson and say, "I'd like Sen. Clinton explain why she doesn't wear a flag pin."

[Catherine Vincent]

13. I'm glad he didn't do that. He would have looked silly.

Has Hillary ever brought that flag pen issue up? So why should Obama ask her?

[flowomo]

15. no, Hillary never brought up Ayres in the campaign...

but when the question came up, Obama quickly turned it on Hillary. So it's not about silly at all. He just doesn't see the opportunities to get out from under the muck. He also gave her a pass on Bosnia -- even though her answer was absurd. If Obama supporters want to complain about how he is treated, they have to understand that he chooses not to bury these things decisively. And saying that he's too "classy" or "polite" doesn't work for me. He has to seize control of the moment more often.

[KAZ]

17. Horse shit.. He turned it to Clinton after she ran with it.

We complain about dear Hill acting like a Puke.

[guruoo]

20. I believe he's playing it smart.

Seriously. If I were his campaign mgr I would have advised to handle
it exactly the way he did.

[cali]

30. bzzzt. Wolfson brought it up and pushed it

in February.

[guruoo]

18. Because it would have been petty, and hypocritical for him to do so

[Catherine Vincent]

12. See post #6. nt

[Moochy]

14. The Flag Pin Clashes with her Camoflauge Ghille Suit

[Stephanie]

19. Thank you.

If I weren't out of threads I was about to post that exact question. OUTRAGEOUS that they ambush Obama on this but she's exempt.

[WyLoochka]

21. Thought others

might experience the same cognitive dissonance here...

If Obama has to wear a friggin' flag pin - why the Hell doesn't Hillary have to wear one too?

I really wanna know

'splain this to me ...

[fedupinBushcountry]

23. That was the first thing I thought of

and was wondering why they didn't pose the same question to her. I would also like to see her response.

[2rth2pwr]

24. It's because Obama questioned the patriotism of those that do whare a flag pin

"I haven't worn that pin in probably a very long time. I wore it right after 9/11. But after a while, you start noticing people wearing the lapel pin but not acting very patriotic,”

I know, I know you're gonna say it's the truth. When Obama goes around making judgments about who is American enough

he should be able to handle the question coming back at him.

[WyLoochka]

26. It's True - every single one

i've seen sporting a "Flag Pin" lately have, at the same time, been spewing a bunch of shit that amounts to nothing other than a despicable betrayal of all that is decent.

and NOW - Hillary Clinton jumps into bed with those frigging #$%$%^%$$^%&U^%&*^%&*^%*^GHGYTDTJY&^%T)_)_89879p*(*(Puu9uU(()90iu???????????????????

Good for Obama for refusing to wear the betrayers code symbol on his lapel!

[TahitiNut]

28. You mean the fact that he observes politicians being hypocritical is a "Bad Thing"?

Wow. Step away from the bong, kid.

[BlooInBloo]

25. Because she doesn't have brown skin and a muslim-sounding name....

... The same reason she doesn't have to answer for what every black guy says, from Wright to Farrakhan to Belafonte.

(Naturally she gets her own brand of crap - but you asked about a particular issue.)

[Catherina]

27. Hillary's willingness for "massive retaliation" against the Middle East

IS her flag pin. You can't see it because she carries it where most people carry their heart.

[JTFrog]

29. Funny I was thinking about this right now and did a google search and found this thread.

Glad I'm not the only one around here wonder what's up with that.


:wtf:
