Republicans steal US Flags from Obama Campaign

[itsrobert]

Do they have no shame?

[EarlG]

1. No shit

I heard those flags were going to be reused, and some asshole walked off with them. Now we know where they went.

[SoCalDem]

2. CNN said a worker "found them in trash bags"

and that "Mccain would probably have something to say about that"..

Heeeeeeere we go, folks..:grr:

7. Why would they be organized in bags if we weren't going to keep them?

For one thing it would be ridiculous to throw away unused flags.

If they were handed out previously, that would mean someone collected them and why would you do that if you weren't going to keep them?

4. source? great turnaround, if true!

[itsrobert]

Actually the Obama Campaign has said they were looking for those flags

And had them bagged for future rallys. Somehow they ended up at a republican rally.

[Libby2]

8. That's what I heard too.

Jerks!

10. I'd say the McCain campaign owes the Obama campaign some money

All those flags probably didn't come cheap, and they think they can just waltz off with them?

17. I have 3 points on this one.

1) When I watched the Rep. convention, I was struck by the lack of people waiving flags. There were almost non. So what I am saying is that this was a set up from before the convention.

2) These are not even real flags. They are printed on fabric, representations of a flags. They are pieces of shit made in China. Everyone throws them out. If not then where are the billions of them that have been made over the years.

3) It is not like they are the flags which drape the bodies of our brave American soldiers, whose lives were taken needlessly as a consequence of the actions and policies of McCain and this administration.

Ps. save this message or you will be throwing away flags.

3. And Fox' ace political reporter Carl Cameron

just referred to them on air as the "stars and bars."

Good to know that I'm smarter than he is.

[EFerrari]

19. At least he didn't say "Stars and Strip joints".

[wildeyed]

5. Flag stealers.

[EFerrari]

16. That's Republicans for you. They steal your flag and then wave it.

[CLG_News]

6. The Faux News troll just said the GOP "RESCUED" the flags from...

trash bags from the Democratic National Convention.
The lying sacks of sh*t at Faux News are insane.

[dkf]

9. Just because they were in trash bags doesn't mean they were trash.

[CLG_News]

13. Right - and great point!
