Surprise!... Obama's Invesco Tickets Picture Upside Down US Flags
Gateway Pundit ^ | August 19, 2008

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."

Obama apparently doesn’t know how to show respect to the flag. Or he doesn’t care. “

Both

““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. “”

IOW, he’s saying the Obama campaign’s symbolisms are more important than established national protocol.

“The flag is right side up. It’s Obama who’s upside down.”

LOL! Thaks, I needed that.

However, this design is really audacious - don’t you like that word? At any rate, they claim that they designed ot so the candidate would blend into the flag better in the lower left corner. So, to me it seems that the Obama campaign is once more insensitive to all American symbols and decent respect for our flag. To them, their annointed ONE is more important than respecting the proper view of the flag with the blue field of stars in the upper left corner.

One of the 3 cable news channels just showed the inside of DNC Pepsi Center. Blue columns with each state's name painted white vertically. above and below each state name is a painted upside down flag.

The flag is right side up. It’s Obama who’s upside down.

Actually, it's the text that's rotated 90 degrees to the left. Rotate the image 90 degrees to the right, pretend the text reads correctly, and you will observe that the flag is properly hung for vertical display (blue field in the upper left), and you will observe Obama in his proper pose looking down on everybody.
