Rightwing fodder-- Barack Obama Invesco Field convention tickets picture upside down US flags- an international symbol of distress.
The DNC tickets printed for Barack Obama's acceptance speech at Invesco Field show an upside down US flag on both sides. This is the international symbol of extreme distress. FOX 9 reported:
Some viewers contacted 9NEWS Saturday, questioning the design of the credentials to see Sen. Barack Obama accept the Democratic Party's presidential nomination at INVESCO Field at Mile High.
The viewers say with the stars and blue field in the lower left corner, it looks like an upside down American flag. Published flag etiquette states the stars should always be displayed in the upper left corner. An upside down flag represents an international symbol of extreme distress.
Matt Chandler with the Obama campaign says the flag is not upside down. He says it is a stylized flag designed to blend the stars on Senator Obama's shirt with the flag blowing in the wind.
Natalie Wyeth with the Democratic National Convention Committee sent 9NEWS the following statement Saturday night: "The DNCC community credentials incorporate patriotic design elements. They do not depict an actual American flag. The DNCC has full and complete respect for the flag and all rules of display."

No clothes and Ted Kennedy’s stomach ;-)
I thought it came from an old anti-nuke or nuclear disarmament symbol.
Standing ovation for your efforts!!! :-)
On the other side, the upside down flag is also no accident. “Change” implies not only an inversion of the Flag but also of the traditional values of America including the right to defend ourselves throughout the world. .
Actually it is supposed to be the way that Saint Peter the Apostle was crucified. Upside down on a broken cross.
Two totally contradictory statements: If the flag is blowing in the wind, wouldn't that imply an upside down flag on a flag pole?
He made it quite clear he will stand by the Muslims.
wheres the eurpoean union flag?
Thanks to AnAmericanMother for pointing out that it was from the semaphore for N and D.
The DNC here wasn’t open and their mailbox was full, calling them when they open.
Harry is on Obama’s team here in NV.
A upside down flag on their tickets? Obama and his team are the gang that couldn’t shoot stright.
I was reading the TexasDarlin website -pro hillary- and she is putting forth the idea that there is landmine type info out there on Obama but the Republicans are holding it back until he is nominated because they think they can beat him easier than Hillary
What happens if he is disqualified because of some birth issue or disgraced. Who would run if he ended up disqualified? If he is disgraced do they still have to let him run?
That is what we'll be in (distress) if Obama gets elected!!
What are they going to do when Hillary! walks away with the nomination?
Hillary! is not going to lose this to the poofter Obambi.
Bulls**t!
Yes, Dave Letterman will do it after PIGS FLY, in other words - that No-Talent NUTCASE won't do it!
Jay Leno? I'm not sure!
I think it is the Hillary camp that has something big on BHMO and it is going to be let loose soon.
Fasten your seatbelt kids, it is going to be a big ride.
Its clearly an upside down flag.
I heard that was the source before the internet was created or Wiki was even invented.
to say it means N D in Semaphore means it could also mean D N as well or even NOD, OND, DON, NDO, ODN....
As with all symbols of the left they mean what ever they want them to mean no matter what the source.
One of the first Nazi units into Poland used is as an unit symbol on their tanks.
Barry Soetoro definitely did not pledge allegiance to the flag in Indonesia. He studied the Quran.
