Why isn't it noted that McCain never wears a lapel flag pin?

[glarius]

Remember the big kerfuffle about Obama? It went on for days....He never wore a flag pin....therefore he wasn't proud to be American....blah....blah....blah. Well the last couple of days I have been noticing that McCain never has one on. I have made a point to look for it. It has NEVER been mentioned. Hmmmm....isn't that odd?
I know this is petty....but it sure seems to indicate one-sidedness.

P.S...To me, McCain is not a trustworthy character. With his darting blinking eyes and his little chuckle....He gives me the feeling that he would be chuckling as he was giving you the boot.

3. Nash McCabe is the official patriotic flag pin inspector.

It's up to her to decide if this case has any merit and proceed accordingly.

4. send email s to the networks! Maybe KO would do a "flagpinless" McCain

[tridim]

5. Because he's the MSM's candidate, and he's a Republican.

No offense, but where have you been for the past 20 years? Republican ALWAYS get a free pass from our media.

[Waya]

6. But, but......

....he's a War hero - he got himself shot down over Vietnam, got taken prisoner, got tortured, sold out his Country etc, etc - isn't that enough proof of love of Country, hmm, hmm, hmmmmmmmmmmm? Guess he don't need to wear one to proof his Patriotism...who knows?

7. My sister

has been asking that very question for weeks. It drives her batshit crazy with rage. Not that he isn't wearing one, but that the press made such a big deal about Obama's lack of flag pin while ignoring this.

8. the REALLY salient point to be made is WHY the mainstream media EVER brought it up

in the first place

why, pray tell, do you think that happened

where on earth did they get the notion?

couldn't have been because merely transmit whatever insane frothings are emanated from the lunatic talk radio spectrum, or the loco RW blogosphere, could it?

nahhhhh

12. Surely you jest

Surely the vaunted American Fourth Estate would never be susceptible to undue influence by their corporate masters or their moutpieces?

:sarcasm:

Of course, you have it right, Gabi.

9. MCain is secretly a Muslim! (sarcasm) nt

[Disturbed]

11. Critisizing McLame is un-Patriotic.

He was a War Hero & is beyond reproach.

[SOS]

10. No flag pin?!

He must be an America-hating Manchurian candidate.
There's no other possible explanation.
