1. We got smart people in the Media right here!...But Cenk, Where's your Pin?

[ihavenobias]

2. He stopped wearing it as a show of support for Obama ;) n/t

3. Can anyone name 10 presidents that wore flag lapel pins ?

Am I less American since I don't wear a American flag pin or own an American flag ?

7. Funny thing is, Nixon started the flag lapel pin tradition

Now that's some irony.

4. This needs to be pointed out

whenever any Republican puts down Obama for not wearing a pin. Thanks for the info!

5. It used to be a part of the flag code that it should not be used as

jewelry. I know that's been ignored for years; vintage rhinestone flag pins are pretty hot collectibles, but this whole thing just pisses me off. It's such a NON-ISSUE, just like all the other NON-ISSUES like Clinton having a shot and a beer, or Obama being a poor bowler...
WHO FUCKING CARES???????????
Sheesh.

6. Okay..The Young Turk's take on

the flag pin attacks on Obama, by the m$$$fm, is on the front page.

This mediawhore thing has been going on for years so just maybe now they're overplaying their hand and tangling with the wrong candidate enough.. so their credibility becomes null and void.

11. 'the mediawhore thing'....right on

so many of these 'television journalists' are one step above the shopping channel. they know nothing, they have no curiosity, they just play up the shit the boss said to play up. no integrity.

14. So true n/t

8. K/R. Thanks for sharing this ihavenobias. Cenk is the best!

I can't believe no one in the media has called these hypocrites out on this. Oh, wait...they don't wear one either. Except for that blowhard Lou Dobbs, and he's as phony as they come.

13. his last statement says it all

this media ... they're killing us.....

[CherylK]

15. Bump!

[ProfessorPlum]

16. Didn't the flag pin become an issue because Obama said he

wouldn't wear one because being symbolically correct wasn't as important as actual patriotism?

Or did he answer that way because this was an "issue" before that?

Stupid, and a waste of time. Our lousy media.
