Democratic Trash: The Story That Just Won't Go Away

A note from Radarsite: This is fascinating. As happened before with the Hillary Forum, Radarsite started getting an inordinate amount of hits from an Obama camp website. So we looked into it. If anyone is interested in the differences between the Clinton Dems and the Obama Camp just read these comments, lifted directly from Democratic Underground and compare them with the Clinton Dems responses from The Hillary Clinton Forum reported here in an earlier Radarsite article. Whereas the general consensus from the comments thread at the Hillary Forum was one of surprisingly sincere regret and honest acceptance of responsibility for what had become a major political gaff, the Obama people are merely angry and defensive. Very angry and very defensive. Almost immediately the conspiracy theorists got to work. No acceptance of responsibility whatsoever. Just angry backlashes at everyone but themselves. Till now, I must confess, I hadn't really appreciated the differences between these two Democratic factions. But I certainly do now. As much as I disagree with their candidate's vision of America and where they would want to bring this country, the Hillary Dems seem to have exhibited a strong sense of sincerity and humanity. They have stepped up to the plate and accepted responsibility for what has turned out to be a major strategic blunder -- even though it was more the responsibility of the Obama Camp to control the images that came out of that Obama Celebration. And how do the Obama people react to their own revealing anti-patriotic blunders? They react with viciousness and anger. They call on their attack dogs to do their work. Cynical, manipulative, their only concern is in discrediting the source. No responsibility. No embarrassment. No concern for how their obvious disregard for patriotism may look to the average American. To me, this whole episode has been an education. This is what an Obama Presidency would offer. A Democratic redux of the Nixon years, with all of that petty hatred and viciousness, and with a whole new Enemies' List. This, my friends, is a clear and unadulterated view of the Obama Camp, and it is both enlightening and disgusting. Read their comments and decide for yourselves. We have deleted the commenters identities. - rg

From the Democratic Underground

***LET'S GET TO WORK ON THIS FLAG THING NOW***

"We need to press the meme that the McCain campaign STOLE the flags."

Here's the article from Puke News: John McCain’s campaign prepared to accuse Democrats on Saturday of leaving behind 12,000 miniature American flags after Barack Obama’s nomination acceptance speech last Thursday in Denver.Boy Scouts have arrived with 84 trash bags full of bundles of flags at the site of a McCain rally scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m. local time in Colorado Springs.The campaign says the flags were recovered from Invesco Field after the Democrats concluded their convention there, and they are going to be used as part of the warm-up ceremonies before McCain takes the stage for the rally.FOX News has been told a vendor at Invesco Field found the flags, which were going to be thrown out, and turned them over to the McCain campaign.Notice anything strange here? 12,000 miniature American flags 84 trash bags full of bundles of flags a vendor at Invesco Field found the flagsThese flags were meant to go somehwere--and not to some dumpster. Did this "vendor" steal them for political purposes

So, its up to the vendor to distribute and clean up? Then that is his job.. Sep-06-08 02:30 PM #1 Ah, but here's the catch... Sep-06-08 02:32 PM #2 McCain is running soooo low on funds, they have to steal American Flags from Obama? Sep-06-08 02:35 PM #7 Could be, and if they were intended for the trash, why spend all of the time rolling them up!! Sep-06-08 02:46 PM #28 utter crap Sep-06-08 02:32 PM Repukes cannot differentiate between symbolic and real .... delusional nt Sep-06-08 02:51 PM #37 Any meaningless issue will do for them, as long as it distracts from real issues. They need to be Sep-06-08 02:32 PM #4 EXACTLY! n/t Sep-06-08 02:32 PM #6 Exactly. Sep-06-08 02:37 PM #11 THey were neatly rolled up and stacked in the bags. Sep-06-08 02:32 PM #5 And here they are... Sep-06-08 02:36 PM #8 Look STOLEN to me Sep-06-08 02:39 PM # That can't be right! Those are NOT miniature flags! n/t Sep-06-08 02:45 PM #22 Actually, it looks like a manufactured prop, if you ask me. Sep-06-08 02:47 PM #29 Do those look like the same size flags as at the DNC? Sep-06-08 02:58 PM #47 You're right... Sep-06-08 03:01 PM #52 Why else? To smear Democratic conventioneers. n/t Sep-06-08 03:03 PM #55 Yeah, and look at the booth to the left at the top... Sep-06-08 03:20 PM #69 Jesus Christ. Sep-06-08 02:37 PM #9 Because we all know they wouldn't use this against us... Sep-06-08 02:39 PM #12 My point is; so fucking what! Sep-06-08 02:42 PM #17 Look, I agree, it SHOULD be about the issues... Sep-06-08 02:48 PM #33 Because, as has been pointed out thousands of times, Sep-06-08 03:16 PM #65 You're absolutely right Sep-06-08 02:55 PM #44 If the flags were neatly rolled in bags, maybe they were stolen. nt

Sep-06-08 02:37 PM #10 This story should be sent to KO's people to debunk. Sep-06-08 02:39 PM #13 Sounds like theft Sep-06-08 02:41 PM #14 I smell operatives...

Sep-06-08 02:44 PM #20 Patriotism doesn't come in a fucking trash bag. Sep-06-08 02:46 PM #24 "since when is how you treat the FLAG more important than how you treat the AMERICAN PEOPLE?" Sep-06-08 02:46 PM #27 I checked to see how small flags are packed. Sep-06-08 02:43 PM #18 new thread: the pukes owe us 15, 120 for stealing our flags! Sep-06-08 02:46 PM #26 CNN said the DNC says the flag story is a lie.

Sep-06-08 02:45 PM #23 sounds like the kind of tricks Rove used to do Sep-06-08 02:46 PM # DNC announced ahead of time that they were pushing recycling Sep-06-8 02:46 PM #25 new question for pukes: why do you hate recycling? nt Sep-06-08 02:47 PM #30 Huh?

Sep-06-08 03:05 PM #56 I like to check people like our dear Lemmi's sources. Sep-06-08 03:09 PM #58 Nah...LOL Sep-06-08 03:17 PM #66 found on radarsite: "stop the ACLU" Sep-06-08 03:15 PM #63 Probably Sep-06-08 02:51 PM #38 CNN reported that the DNC planned to ship the flags for use at other events. Sep-06-08 02:55 PM #42 So then they were stolen. n/t Sep-06-08 02:57 PM #46 And they should also say they were lifted by dirty tricksters Sep-06-08 02:58 PM #48 Let's remember Fox had a booth there too.. Sep-06-08 03:19 PM #68 So they were stolen? Sep-06-08 03:01 PM #50 I knew it Sep-06-08 03:01 PM #53 I'm surprised that they aren't claiming some fetuses were thrown out with the... Sep-06-08 03:01 PM #49 they want to talk trash bags? Sep-06-08 03:01 PM #51 Classic GOP Ratfuck. Sep-06-08 03:03 PM #54 That was very well done and a great read. JeffreyWilliamson Sep-06-08 03:11 PM #60 Thank you very much. It's important we educate the younger folks...

Sep-06-08 03:13 PM #61 Maybe from the set? Which means they were packed to be shipped EC Sep-06-08 03:10 PM #59 We need to press the meme that the McCain campaign STOLE the flags. n/t Sep-06-08 03:14 PM #62 Yup... Sep-06-08 03:16 PM #64 yesh! they got us!? Sep-06-08 03:18 PM #67 The DNC should report the flags as "stolen property"... Sep-06-08 03:22 PM #70 Thought about that... Sep-06-08 03:26 PM #72 I Knew This Had the Smell of "Democrats Trashed the White House" When Clinton Moved Out Sep-06-08 03:24 PM #71 1. So, its up to the vendor to distribute and clean up? Then that is his job.. So, why did the vendor throw them in the trash? Is he the Un-American one?

hey Dims.. why were the flags trashed in the first place?

[JimRed]

So many flags left over- why? Probably because the RAT delegates, for the most part, did not WANT them!

[ducdriver]

Aren’t these Marxists all for “recycling”?

[FlingWingFlyer]

I laugh anytime I see sleazebags from DU trying to pass themselves off as being patriotic. They’re patriotic alright, to the powder blue boys down at the United Nations.

[GloriaJane]

When the American flags were found in the dumpster that means the zerobama camp saw them as trash. Is it stealing if you dumpster dive and take what someone else saw as trash and disposed of? I don’t think so.

[hinckley buzzard]

If you saw the pictures, they were indeed in rolls and stuffed in trash bags. They obviously had never been used, and were found several days after the 'rats had vacated the place.

Somebody must have ordered them without checking with higher headquarters: "Flags? We don' need no steenkin' flags. We're democrats!!"

[Mamzelle]

re: "We need to press the meme that the McCain campaign STOLE the flags.")))

SO FILE CHARGES. But you won't. You daren't.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Notice how they were “packed for recycling” to the next event with used Digorno Pizza wrappers, empty water bottles and used plastic utensils?

[Red6]

Liberals have no problems with lying. It's acceptable behavior.

Deny deny deny, make counter accusations, and minimize the significance with BS rationalizations. Typical MO.

Look at Obama and his eventual and reluctant acceptance of the success in Iraq. Look at Clinton after being caught........... On the right you'll see people resign, or the party force resignation, the base and voters do not tolerate such behavior. On the left, you see the party defend, the base of voters more or less excuse their president commit adultery and purger himself. Ask nearly any liberal today about Clinton and that's exactly the reaction you'll get. Now ask a conservative about Foley, and watch the reaction. Completely different reactions.

[Operation_Shock_N_Awe]

I thought it was a vender who found them and phoned the local Boy Scout troop. Then the Boy Scouts rescued the flags smoothed them out, rolled them up, and donated them to the RNC? So, the bags full of rolled up flags were what they looked like AFTER the Boy Scouts got to them.

[Roger W. Gardner]

Thank you all for your honest concern.

[edzo4]

some were, others were in the trash...

notice the trashed recycle box also in the trash, very green, LOL

[edzo4]

the tickets for the invesco event had upside down flags, don't they know elephants never forget...

[printhead]

Meme? Gravitas? Nuance? Arugula? Vette? Obonics, the language of the libs.

[GloriaJane]

I guess not.

[fella]

Liberals have no problems with lying. It's acceptable behavior.

That's why they get along with and side with the islamic crowd so well.
