The White House on Friday dismissed as inaccurate reports from China that the administration will mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic by flying the Chinese flag on the South Lawn.
China Daily, citing other media reports, claimed the president of the Fujian Association of the United States had been granted permission to hoist the flag "in a ceremony in front of the President's residence."
A ceremony, indeed, will take place. But it won't happen on the White House grounds -- rather, on the Ellipse, on the other side of E Street from the presidential residence.
China Daily's report -- which said the flag would represent strong U.S.-Chinese relations and recognition of China's success in hosting the 2008 Summer Olympics -- set off howls of protest on the Internet and among conservative talk show hosts despite failing to receive confirmation from the White House.
Demonstrations by foreign groups on the Ellipse or in Lafayette Park, in front of the White House, are not uncommon. But foreign flags are only flown on the White House grounds or on Pennsylvania Avenue to mark "state" or "official" visits of the countries' leaders.
Under those guidelines, the Chinese flag has flown on White House grounds before, in April of 2006, when President Hu Jintao visited then President George W. Bush.
In fact the current controversy is reminiscent of that visit. The Chinese insisted it was a state visit, despite U.S. assurances it was only an official one. The "state visit" label would have implied a bigger honor to Hu and to China, but Bush only had a handful of state visits and Hu's wasn't one of them.

As one who got part of my chin shot off by these Commie bastards, I don't care if they wanna fly that the Red POS in the "Head" at the Greyhound bus station...NOT ON MY WATCH, MISTER!
I've seen too many dead Marines in my lifetime to put up with such BRAVO SIERRA!

Thanks to “Concho” for the link to this article/news.
BUMP!

BIG BUMP!! And a heartfelt thank you for your service.
You are most welcome, it suddenly appeared on Fox, right after we got the original posts on here. Zero was rushing to CYA. He thought he had that one sneaked through. It just goes to show that there are lots of things being done there, subversively, that is going to screw us in the end. It is important to keep the pressure on them.
Zero has put in all the Czars to end run the Congress. Congress is ineffective, and has been for years. It is time to shovel them all out in 2010. That crap could not happen if the Congress raised hell right there in town. It can only happen when our congress allows it to happen. Therefore, the blame really falls upon the Congress.
Obomba and his Black House got caught again.
No doubt the chicoms thought they had bought and paid for our country and could do as they wished. The shame of the deals we’ve made with them!!
Makes one wonder though. What are they doing that we don’t see?
Were you on watch when the WH did it in 2006?
That is all.
Sunlight, the best disinfectant ??
I am sure the White House is telling the truth, aren’t you?
Over 70 million Chinese people have been murdered by the Chinese Communists in the 20th century.

Very nice craft.
Seeing as how China currently owns a vast chunk of US debt securities and real estate, maybe they figured they should fly their flag over what they own.
Amen! Thank you a million times over for your service to this great country!
Just because they were Commie bastards back then and are Commie bastards today and have killed our men by the 10s of thousands doesn't mean they are "bad people" or have no vested interest in Washington and shouldn't be recognized for their influence.
After all, they gave the Clintons and the Dems millions in payment for missile and nuclear technology and other favors and hold uncountable billions of of our Treasury debt so they now practically own us!
Get a grip, man. Welcome to the New World Order,... and our new co-masters!
Makes one wonder though. What are they doing that we don’t see?
We should thank Glenn Beck who makes their poop public and many Freepers and other patriots who are digging like a Dalmation to uncover all of negabama’s sneak socialist agenda.
It sure is beginning to look like the patriot “discoverers” are finding things almost as fast as the dem/libs are dreaming it up and is forcing the HAAIC to pull the trial ballons and sneaks almost as they are going up.
We’ve got em ducking, dodging and on the run! Keep kicking!
Which is why we should quit depending on the Chicoms for their yen...
Here we are the RICHEST COUNTRY ON THE PLANET borrowing funds from the Chicoms so Americans can continue to SUPPORT COMMUNISM by continuing to buy MADE IN CHINA merchandise!
“Stupid is as stupid does!”
I know nothing much will change before Hussein is out of the WH and the GOP retakes the Majority in one or both houses of Congress BUT we MUST “get off the dime”, start drilling oil & natural gas and mining for more clean coal HERE IN AMERICA. We have enough energy resources to supply our needs for at least 300 years and if we start building cogeneration nuclear power plants offshore that not only generate electricity but potable water we can furnish not only all our energy & water needs ad infinitum but for the entire continent!
America needs to GET BACK TO WORK, increase the working Middle Class by increasing our mfg. base and reestablish our manufacturing capacity so that we don't have to borrow money from Chicoms!!!
Balance the Federal Budget, Pay down the Federal Deficit and eliminate our dependence on foreign oil and foreign money!
And finally, we need to "take out the trash!" Remove ALL the RINO's & Rats in Congress & the WH! And we can start in 2010!
Semper Fi,
Kelly
How many years of combat do you have under your belt, missy?
Thats what I thought.
You “need” to MYOB!
“Were you on watch when the WH did it in 2006?”
Did what?
I quit taking orders in 1970
and if you are being sarcastic, try posting "sarc"
We are missing something. We need to start looking very, very hard at michelle obama before she was M O. She is much more influential than it appears.
On this story, I would much more trust the truth to come from the chicoms than this white house and his media. JEEZ think about that one. commies lie as a dialy practice.
My guess is too many people found Obozo out. It sure wasn't reported by our state run media bozos.
You are on target. Manchelle is definately a commie although it is arguable whether her or negabama is the greater driving force with this black communist rush. The whole black gov. this is a cobal of snakes aimed at a take over of America.
Our previous suspicions and fears were not unfounded.
As long as they had a dumbass dem congress only to deal with, they would have accomplished their goal. They obviously dis not calculate in anything like the Tea Party or Town Hall movements that now have many of the lib/dem congresscritters scared for their job and not about to bite the hand that feeds it.
negabama’s window of opportunity was much breifer than they counted on. Like all opportunities, once they are gone, they are gone.
To some degree we need to give some credit to some of the Repub crongressfolks for finding a way to slow down the nobama bus for just long enough to give the people a chance to discover the truth. Maybe the only move GOP could make at the time, politics is not a simple game for sure.
** tried to run spell check, but its having a bad morning
"sarc"
I thought it was rather obvious in my posting, but I guess not. I'm sorry I got you upset, but I thought I was making a good point by pretending to be a Good Liberal, er, Comrade.
And yes, I do have combat under my belt, including against the same Commie bastards you and a lot of others on this forum have. I also thank God nearly every day for coming through it physically unscathed - which unfortunately you and a lot of others (including friends of mine, as well) did not. I think of them often, and it makes my blood boil when I see what is going on nowadays in this country and how they (and we) are being betrayed, yet once again.
Believe me when I say I have no illusions about either these Commie (or Islamist) bastards - or their domestic "friends".
I'll post the "/s/" word to you next time so there is no more misunderstanding. :)
nothing is “obvious” on FR...to many “a-holes”
no need to be “sorry”...just take the time in the future to post “sarc”...it only takes a microsec...
you didn’t get me “upset”...I quit getting “upset” with FReepers seven years ago. LOL
have a good one
“White House Debunks Reports It Will Fly China’s Flag on South Lawn ( No Chicom Flags. PERIOD )”
Does “Chicom” stand for Chicago Communist?
You were talking about not flying their flag on your watch, so I just asked if you were on watch when they flew their flag in 2006?
