[yardwork]

3. I laughed out loud!

[AtomicKitten]

4. But he's cute as a button!

[Coexist]

5. lol

[IsItJustMe]

6. It's OK when a corporate whore doen't wear one. It's only bad when a black guy who is running for

president doesn't wear one. What's wrong? Didn't you get the memmo yet?

[Clintonista2]

7. Has he ever said that he refuses to wear them?

[krispos42]

11. Somebody has to ask him why he's not wearing one, first. n/t

[Clintonista2]

15. But you're missing the point of the controversy

The controversy wasn't that Obama wasn't wearing one. The controversy was that Obama stating that he wouldn't wear one. Do I agree with the controversy? Not really. But deliberately avoiding the point of the controversy, which the OP has done, lowers the intelligence of everybody on DU.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

17. Sorry about lowering your intelligence.

[krispos42]

18. Except that only Obama was asked about it in the first place...

and thus had to make a statement about why he was or was not wearing one.

The subject of the controversy only has a population of 1: Obama. Without the same question being asked of all the other dozen or so presidential candidates, it's unfair to single out Obama. How can Obama's actions be put into context when nobody else has been asked the question? And how can the question be fairly asked at this time when the other candidates have had months to think of an answer?

[Clintonista2]

20. All of them were asked the question

Only Obama flubbed the answer.

24. It seems to me that only Obama answered correctly.

Let's elect that man president!

[krispos42]

52. From the Faux News story...

...dated October 7, 2007, it appears that after the Obama flag-pin issue was raised, Faux went around asking all of the other candidates the question, I'm sure just to be "fair". Several did not return reporters' calls, others responed either directly or through their PR people.

Which means they had more time to consult and think of an answer.


But I see what you mean about "won't" wear a flag pin. I didn't catch the nuance before.

[yardwork]

23. Obama said that he wouldn't wear a piece of jewelry made in China

in an effort to pander to jingoism and empty-headed nationalism?

Normally, that is a stance that most DUers would applaud.

[high density]

27. I won't wear earrings

These dumbass pins are nothing but jewelry in my opinion.

[2rth2pwr]

16. Other Presidential candidates got that question too, he just flubbed the answer.

Democratic frontrunner Hillary Rodham Clinton told FOXNews.com Thursday night that she sometimes wears a pin to show her patriotism. “Wearing a flag pin, flying the flag, pledging allegiance to the flag, talking about the values that are important to America, teaching your children about what a great nation you have, standing up for those values, speaking out … there’s just so many ways that one can demonstrate patriotism,” Clinton said at a Chicago fundraiser.

A spokesman for Joe Biden told FOXNews.com that the Delaware senator usually wears a flag pin. It wasn't clear whether Dennis Kucinich wears a pin, but a spokeswoman told FOXNews.com that the Ohio congressman does "does carry a mini copy of the Constitution in his pocket."

John Edwards, Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson didn't return calls for comment.

Republican hopeful John McCain said he doesn’t wear a flag pin on a daily basis. Brooke Buchanan, a spokeswoman for the Arizona senator, said “his record of service to his country shows his dedication.”

Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo said he wears a flag pin to show he’s proud to be an American and dismissed Obama’s decision. A representative for former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said he always sported the pin when he was governor.

A spokesman for Sam Brownback said he wasn't sure how often the Kansas senator wears a flag pin. "It might be on some of his jackets — just there," ready for the wearing, said John Rankin. He said he didn't know if the Brownback had a set policy on wearing Old Glory as an accessory.

Brownback apparently doesn't wear one all the time. On the cover of his 2007 book, "From Power to Purpose," displayed on his campaign Web site, his lapel does not show a flag.

California Rep. Duncan Hunter "is proud to wear an American flag pin as much as possible and on any occasion," said spokesman Gary Becks.

Other Republican contenders Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul didn't respond to calls.

[yardwork]

25. Obama is the only one who answered in an honorable way, imo.

I totally respect Obama for his answer. I applaud it. I wouldn't wear one of the damn things either. What part of wearing a piece of nationalistic jingoism made in China is "patriotic?"

[2rth2pwr]

28. Fine, but that's why the question keeps coming up.

[SoonerPride]

8. Nice, but I prefer this one

[Iris]

43. LOL! Love it!

thanks for the memory!

[undeterred]

9. Are there cheerios on his highchair plate?

[zbdent]

10. darn ... I thought it would be of him with lips firmly planted on

McCain's ... um ...

[JVS]

12. Just like Elton John, he HATES AMERICA!!!!!!1111!!!!

[L0oniX]

13. LOL

[EFerrari]

14. LOL! HEY! WE NEED TO MAIL HIM SOME!

:rofl:

[Cha]

44. LOL is right! Mail him tons of little tiny

flag pins with this pic attached.

[FrenchieCat]

19. That's why he hates our troups.

Did you find one of Capital Gains Gibsons? Him and his "FAKE" Ben Franklin Glasses? Why does he hate our constitution? :mad:

[Clintonista2]

22. Typical white fuck, eh frenchie?

:eyes:

[yardwork]

26. As another whitey, I have to say....yeah. George is a typical white fuck.

There it is.

[Clintonista2]

32. another?

:eyes:

[yardwork]

33. Yeah, he's another white fuck. There are others.

[sonias]

29. And why do they hate our flag?

Shouldn't all journalists wear the biggest flag pins of all? How else can they keep a straight face when accusing politicians of being unpatriotic otherwise?

In fact I think they should just get the U.S. flag tattooed on their foreheads. That way we'll be able to tell if they love the USA. How else can we tell if they don't wear the sign? :sarcasm:

I wish someone could help us get Charlie "Captial Gains" Gibson's tax returns and see just how much he's making off the bush tax cuts.

[MagickMuffin]

45. Gibson is an Elitist... He wanted to go into law, but he wasn't SMART enough

WNT salary is $8,000,000 per year, the same as his GMA salary

I guess this explains Charlie Boy's obsession with Capital Gains, and also explains why he is soooo out of touch with working people's salaries. You would think with ALL those Millions he could afford a CLUE.


Hey Sonia:hi:

[sonias]

48. Hey MM

I had to wear my shades to hide from that obscenely gross salary figure. :puke:

:hi:
Sonia

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

21. He will be one fantastic journalist after he gets his driver's licence.

[TragedyandHope]

30. Relax, he just sent his flag pin out to be polished

:sarcasm:

[proud2BlibKansan]

31. Oh. My. God.

He will surely burn in hell.

[Lucky 13]

34. He's not wearing the flag pin because some disgruntled voter shoved it up his ass.

Little fucking troll. I hope he gets fired.

[City Lights]

35. Why does he hate 'Murika?

And more worrisome - with that hard-to-pronounce-and-spell last name, how do we know he is 'Murikan? He must prove his loyalty to 'Murika RIGHT NOW!!111!!! And it's gonna take more than having a first name that matches our first, and our current president. :rofl:

[MagickMuffin]

46. He's one of those Greek terraist

Georgie Boy missed the boat and shriveled up getting here. ;=)

[lib2DaBone]

36. Snark..Snort....

George "Stuff-an-apple-up-your ass" caught neked...without his Flag Pin. Shame SHAME!

[LSK]

37. TRAITOR!!!! SEND HIM TO GITMO!!!

:sarcasm:

[abq e streeter]

40. Oops, you beat me to saying the same thing (see below) by 4 minutes

I gotta start typing faster...

[Texas Hill Country]

38. george never said he would not wear one, unfortunately Obama did.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

51. So I will ask this again:

WHO THE FUCK CARES???!?

[abq e streeter]

39. How DARE he!!! Off to Guantanamo with him

[Annces]

41. He has a cute wife

She had a talk show for a while and was very funny.

[SoCalDem]

42. Here's a another one of him

[EFerrari]

53. LOL! I never realized what a creep he was. n/t

[MagickMuffin]

47. He NEVER wears one, he wasn't wearing one at the SCAMBATE either

But Obama is run through the ringer for NOT wearing one. I thought Georgie Boy missed an opportunity by not asking what color his underwear were and if he wears boxers or briefs. Or how often he has to shave. Damn it I WANTED to know.

:kick: & RRRRRRR

[Andrea]

49. Ha!

Good one!

[TheDonkey]

50. George Stephanopoulos = Major douchebag

[tblue37]

54. Why does he hate America? n/t

[phrigndumass]

55. No flag pin??!! George might as well just eat a baby right there on live television!

How un-American! He must be planning some sort of terrorist attack against our country ... he can't ever be trusted again! I'll bet he has some Acme dynamite strapped to his chest, just waiting for a chance to flail himself upon the thralls of people protesting against him! Ka-boom!

:nuke:

[democracy1st]

56. lol

[justgamma]

57. McCain doesn't wear one either. n/t
