And weren’t people burning flags over Vietnam?

[a fool in paradise]

They weren’t simply burning American flags during the Vietnam War, they were proudly carrying North Vietnamese military flags. They weren’t anti-war, they were pro-Communist rallies. They wanted the Communists to win.

Anti-imperialism? They didn’t mind Cuba, China, and the Soviets coming to assist North Vietnam’s war effort.

"And weren’t people burning flags over Vietnam?"

And carrying the enemy flag - Vietcong and NVA flags.

Imagine how much fun that was for us who were risking our lives every day against those enemies.

Damn Leftists.

[mumblypeg]

I can remember when conservatives were outraged at the very idea of anyone *wearing* the American flag as an item of clothing.

Abbie Hoffman’s American flag shirt was blasphemous.

Now millions of little Abbie Hoffman wannabes are beating up middle aged suburbanites for wearing or waving American flags.
