Truncated title.

Full title: Special delivery! Democrats procure flags for convention stage after embarrassing oversight leaves Old Glory missing from Monday night's festivities

After slogging through a boisterous convention on the floor, Democrats were forced to make a last-minute adjustment to the on-stage decor, after a report pointed out there were no American flags present.

Democrats unveiled a sleek stage to the nation Monday, after the convention had been in the works for months.

As speaker after speaker took the stage, screens behind them produced stunning scenery of the country and cool grey backgrounds.

Soviet and Palistinian flags...

That’s about right for that crew.

“..And they want to run the country...?”

Worse yet, there is a certain number of fools in our electorate that want them to and will vote for them. Totally frightening.

Oversight my butt. Thought they could get away with dissing America and were called out on it.

An example of their fealty to this land.

Such an ostentatious display of US flags is xenophobic.

Oh, my! The American flag contains the forbidden color-—WHITE!!!!

Delegates are going to be triggered, and to retreat to their “safe spaces”!!!!

How will the business of the convention get done?

Stay tuned, and bring the popcorn!!!!

Seeing Democrat politicians with the American flag is always a jarring juxtaposition.

Oversight my rear end.

Thanks to the internet, the lack of American flags became an embarrassment.

“All this for a damn flag?” Well, I guess Michelle did not
notice that this country’s flag was missing from that arena
when she was flapping her piehole about how it was such a
shame her kids had to have Secret Service protection in
Washington. Are ya’ll sure that’s what she said?! If
someone doesn’t save that tape of her saying that, it will
mysteriously disappear like so many Democrat voters at the
specter of President Hitler-y.

Instead of giving them an early reminder and saving their sorry asses, they should have let them go the entire convention without an Amrican flag and then made a deal of it, but saved again. THey will now say, the order and delivery were delayed because it was originally sent to Mexico.

What a hoot! Quite befitting for a couple of losers, Kerry & Edwards. So vile, in fact. I shake my head in utter disbelief that those two were so close to the presidency. So thankful it didn’t happen.

I bet they won’t even bother ironing the package creases out of them before setting them up.

I doubt is was an oversight. Dems hate America first and blame America first.
