FauxNews reporting: Some American flags at today's McCain rally "rescued" from dumpsters at DNC.

[sharesunited]

Prepare for the shitstorm.

Old glory not respected at Mile High. Democrats show the flag for the cameras. But when the cameras are turned off, the red white & blue is just trash to them.

[liberalmuse]

1. Bullshit.

Liars!

[thewiseguy]

2. What a bunch of bullshit.

[Newsjock]

3. I guess they heard

... that Palin's new campaign jet doesn't have a very big U.S. flag on it at all. Why does Sarah Palin hate America?

[Curtland1015]

4. Man, the right really is scratching for any hold they can get.

I'd say it was funny if it wasn't so sad.

[RC]

5. The repugs are too cheap to buy their own flags and need to go dumpster diving?

Yeah, like they have room to talk.

[Catch22Dem]

18. That's a horrible photoshop job. (n/t)

[RC]

23. It is not photoshop.

The video was on world wide tv during the Olympics. He really did this. There are a series of pictures showing bu$h so drunk he could not stand up by himself.

[Catch22Dem]

37. It's photoshop

He held the flag backwards, not upside down.

[RC]

38. Show me the un-Photoshopped image of the one I posted.

[tbyg52]

24. May be, but it's an awfully good image.

Where is Norman Rockwell when we need him?

[msongs]

repubs want to win at any cost. nt

[Aviation Pro]

6. You mean like this....

...Republicants are so predictable in their distractions:

[nini]

20. or this?

[tbyg52]

7. I must admit to always wondering

how *any* rally properly disposes of all those little flags, unless every singe person takes theirs home and stores it away lovingly.

We had a 9/11 commemoration at my work a few years ago, with a little flag handed out to everybody. A few got dropped on the ground on the way back into the building (not many, I am happy to say). I picked them up and I still have them.

[sharesunited]

9. Thank you for your service!

[tbyg52]

10. Well, I couldn't just leave the poor things there....!

I have always anthropomorphized objects, I must admit. I also talk to computers. Mostly when I'm mad at them.

[MadrasT]

29. Me too

:pals: I would have done the same thing. And computers work better if you speak to them sternly.

[tbyg52]

32. A confident manner is important: Computers can sense this! ;-> nt

[thewiseguy]

15. I was at Invesco field and most people I saw were carrying their flags with them

We were given a Change sign and we carried it with us so did everyone else we saw. Why would you want to throw that stuff away? It is a piece of history.

[tbyg52]

19. So the overwhelming majority (of *our* people at least)

do carry them home and store them lovingly. (I have not ever been to any conventions.)

Wonder what the Repugs do with them....?

[LaydeeBug]

17. the only way to properly dispose of the american flag is to burn it. nt

and no, not meant in the pejorative.

[tbyg52]

22. Yes, I know.

That's what I was picturing if a) a significant number were discarded and b) they were disposed of properly.

Still, the main point is:

WHAT THE HECK WERE THEY DOING IN THE DUMPSTERS?????

*They* are the ones that should be laughingstocks over this.

[qanda]

8. You mean they didn't burn them?

:sarcasm:

[nini]

11. Someone went to Denver and dumpster dove?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[tbyg52]

14. That *is* the main point, isn't it -

what were they doing in those dumpsters in the first place??????

[Proud Liberal Dem]

12. Some people went "dumpster diving"?

Ewwwwwwww...............:freak:

[alsame]

13. How pathetic they are, going back to the old 'liberals don't

respect the flag' thing. I've been hearing this crap my entire life.

[paparush]

16. Don't forget this little gem-

[NashVegas]

21. And Bill Clinton's Staffers Trashed the White House On Their Way Out the Door

What bullshit.

[gulliver]

25. What are the Republicans doing out of the dumpsters?

Who left the lid open?

[treestar]

26. Oh geez, like every little flag has to be kept?

There are so many now (made in China, no doubt) that they couldn't possibly seriously expect some of them not to get thrown away.

Oh, wait, we're talking about Republicans.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

27. Flags in Denver ended up in the Twin Cities?

:eyes:

[niceypoo]

28. Discovered a week later?

[tbyg52]

30. This is what I think

(after someone smarter suggested it to me)

[Matariki]

31. Hey, I have an idea. Let's ignore the supremely irrelevant Fox News.

Let's start a trend and watch others follow our lead.

[Kickin_Donkey]

33. Sounds like B.S. ...

Just like when the media claimed that outgoing Clinton staffers pulled all the W's off the keyboards when they vacated the White House in 2001.

[jmowreader]

34. Were they trying to say we were trying to impede the new administration's work?

Poppycock. Now, if we'd have pulled the J, E, S and U keys, or the G, O and P keys off the keyboards, they wouldn't have been able to work.

[marshall]

35. Al Gore would be proud

It's a form of recycling, which he has been pushing relentlessly, along with shopping at thrift stores. Tell 'em that and see what they say.

[Gold Metal Flake]

36. Fox New or Repukes planted flag pins in garbage dumpsters!

The only explanation you need.

[bulloney]

39. A local news report said the flags were bagged up for a future event, but were mistakenly thrown

in the garbage without authorization.

[Fluffdaddy]

40. Bull Shit.. Post link of this local news report

[Fluffdaddy]

41. GOP conservative Vendor

A Vendor ( that just happens) to be a gop sympathizer has no where else to take "rescued" flags but the McCain campaign.

This has gop/rove dirty trick fingerprints all over it.

[JI7]

42. Fox News is full of shit, they didn't get the support with the scum Palin

so now they are making up shit like they always do.
