STOP THE PRESSES - McCain Did NOT Wear A Lapel Pin On 9/11!!!!!

[kpete]

Why didn't McCain wear a flag pin to yesterday's event commemorating September 11? If you check the photos, he wasn't wearing one, he wasn't wearing any pins at all. Obama was. He was wearing an American flag. Once McCain realized what he'd done, I hear he then asked a police officer for his NYPD pin, and put it on, then did the same thing to a fireman (telling him he needed the pin for Cindy).

9. Sorry, 5 1/2

McCain & his staff so rarely mention it, that sometimes it's hard to recall.

7. Has McCain done some major aging? My father will be 87 in Dec...

and he looks younger and more spry then McCain and even he worries about McCain's age.

8. >>>THUD

someone scrape me off the floor... and pick up my jaw while you're at it (look around - it probably went far afield of my head).

10. Nor during his speech at RNC

No one seemed to mention his not wearing a pin during his speech. Had Obama not worn one it would have been mentioned quite a lot I think.

[KathieG]

11. well well well...apparently that rule doesn't apply when you are a "war hero"

God I wish the MSM would pick him apart like they did Obama.

[President_Obama]

12. you don't need a pin when you've already wrapped yourself in the American Flag

[hasssan1]

13. John "Lying" Mccain Doesn't Love America.

[baldguy]

14. You didn't see everything he was wearing.

15. Smells like a Double Standard to me. No great surprise, there.

Once again, another free pass from the "liberal media". :eyes:


On the other hand, do we REALLY want to make a big deal about this? :shrug:


There are certainly other issues more worthy of discussing, in my humble opinion....BUT


Calling them out on the hypocrisy, keeps THEM on the defensive, for a change.


I suppose turn-about is fair play. :D

19. "do we REALLY want to make a big deal about this?"

No. Not a big deal. Just a medium "hey you fucking hypocrites" deal.

[Shine]

21. Or, in keeping w/ corporate Starbucks lingo:

we want to make a "Grande" deal out of it. :D

Yup, hypocrites, all the way.

16. K & R

17. McCain: "I fell in love with my country when I was a prisoner in someone else's."

Has he fallen back out of love with it already? I still can't believe that he can say things like that and get away with it. If anyone with a (D) after their name had said the same thing, it would be a CLM.

My wife noticed that he hasn't worn it a number of times lately - I don't even think he wore it at his convention speech. And she's only political in self defense, because I'm such a junkie. :rofl:

[Brundle_Fly]

18. he had on his super duper uber the top patriotic

underoos?

[FatDave]

20. Why would anybody question a republican's patriotism?

Republicans are all born with a read white and blue spoon up their ass.
