What Utter Bullshit!

[Hepburn]

I am reading about Obama and the flag lapel pin flap and that FAUX SNOOZE is asking if he is a traitor cuz he removed his.

Well, if he is a traitor then so is everyone I know, including myself. I don't know ONE PERSON who wears one of these pins at any time.

I am soooooooo sick of this bullshit. As far as I am concerned, this bullshit has to be some of the dumbest stuff I have EVER heard and I survived Nixon and the 1960s...and the McCarthy witch-hunts of the 50s!

Sheesh! When will these RW assholes just stop this total crap???? (Assuming they are able to formulate any intelligent thought.)

[MadMaddie]

1. It is pathetic that it's gotten to this level....a fucking lapel pin...

they might as well just come out and say he is not white enough. They want to say it....but they can't...so they look for other bullshit like this...

[Hepburn]

4. Exactly....

...the Bullcrap about his middle name and the he has some Muslim connections and now....this totally ridiculous bullshit over what he has or does not have on his lapel????

This is just a fucking cover up for racism and nothing less than that IMO. What the hell other candidate has been attacked as a "traitor" cuz he/she does not decorate clothing with a metal US flag.

Man...some times FAUX SNOOZE is so transparent! FUCK THEM!

[Virginia Dare]

5. Or that he's "one of them"...

you know that's the message they're trying to send.

[Hepburn]

7. It's sooooooooo clear what FAUX is doing...

...and totally disgusting, too. It is the type of thing that they do in order to try and disguise their message that Obama is a black man and of course that makes him bad for 'Merika.

Fuck them.

[Virginia Dare]

12. Not only a black man..

but a black man with MUSLIM name.

[Warren DeMontague]

14. Well, what do you expect them to talk about? What's actually going on?

C'mon. And there was no way they could squeeze another week out of the moveon ad. They had high hopes for the "left-wing" Oakland Airport "spitting on the troops", but the facts kinda quashed that one.

2. AzDar sez: " Beware those who drape themselves in the fabric of the Flag,

as they endeavor to destroy what it stands for."
:patriot:

15. Swear to god I'm not making this up..

I saw a guy on the metro train the other day with a tie festooned with a large bald eagle, an American flag, and the Statue of Liberty. It was the fugliest looking thing I have ever seen. He looked like a cleaned up freeper in a suit...:spray:

3. If you don't wear your American Flag pin, that was made in China, you support the terrorists.

:D

6. Love that schnauzer.

Hate those stupid little jingo-pins.

[sallyseven]

8. Who the hell cares what fox news says.

They are all morons.

[Hepburn]

11. True....but they are on the air waves....

...and so many idiots believe anything that FAUX says.

[radiclib]

9. Barack may have made a tactical error here

After all, didn't Faux and the right-wing blowholes give him a pass for his Madrassas education and terrorist-sounding name, and being a "Halfrican" etc etc because, after all, he was a flagpin wearing patriot? Oh wait, they didn't?...oh, nevermind....:sarcasm:

[Warren DeMontague]

10. Kerry's Joke, the moveon ad, Obama's flag pin... Geez, I hope they're remembering to keep the

GOP Phony Outrage Machine™

well oiled. That sucker's bound to overheat, one of these days.

[MadMaddie]

13. It will overheat and turn on itself it is bound to happen!

[Az]

16. And yet it works in this rotten system

I assure you there are people out there right now clicking their tongues in disapproval of Obama's lack of lapel pin. And that is all Fox/Corporations want. They continue to flood the system with such inanities as this and the public continues to lap it up.

And here is the tragedy. There is nothing you can do about it. Not with the system as it stands now. It is broken. We The People have been edged out of our own government. It is now run by money and power. There is no dialog. There is only We The People being lectured as to what to think by the media controlled by Corporations. We are given the illusion of discourse by hearing what sounds like debate. But there is no dialog coming from the People. The only things talking are the Talking Heads owned and operated by the Media. We The People are silent. We are strapped into our chairs like Alec in A Clockwork Orange and we are watching the process unfurl before us and being told that we are good citizens and just shut up and watch.

[Whisp]

17. not only rw assholes.

I think that some left ones are saying some of the same things here too. how idiotic and what a waste of time. good lord people are stupid sometime. flag pin....

o keeeriyst

18. Army/McCarthy hearings were about Joe going after DoDers patriotism

But it just so happened that Joe's lawyer buddy Roy Cohn had a 'really good friend' named David Schine
(whose family owned the Ambassador Hotel in LA btw). This little tidbit was leaked out and the media ran with it; soon the investigations turned the hunters into the hunted.

What goes around comes around.

Hepburn, what the GOP counts on is the lack of historical awareness among the young. We need to educate them; the media sure has them brainwashed though.

19. HERE'S THE THING

Since most of the Fox Trash Pen have never served or participated in anything military they think their little pin shows they are patriotic. I used to wear one. But when I saw bush and cheney and the turds wearing them I took mine off long ago.

My ancestors have served in wars to protect this country since the
Revolutionary and French and Indians Wars and they continue to do so. I feel patriotism is in my blood. So if anyone would say anything about me I'd say can you list your relatives and family and ancestors who have fought to protect this country. I CAN.
