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."

Now THAT is what I call a very NUANCED explanation!...lol
This is simply a distraction.
I’ll stay focused on my real problems with the lightweight, liberal, blame-America-first Barack Hussein Obama.
This is hilarious. I wonder if the late night shows will do a riff on it.
If what she said is true, then they are completely incompetent in what they do. They respect the rules of display but don't even think ahead about checking them out. OTOH, I doubt truth has any residence within her, or her organization.
It sure looks like an upside down flag on the back of the ticket.
No. The MSM has 'collectively' decided that any possible perceived slight or criticism of the Obama campaign is totally OFF-LIMITS!
“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. “
Then what’s the excuse for the back side?
I bet it has 57 stars too...
NO, NO, NO.
That is just an EVEN MORE NUANCED explanation!!!

Nothing new in leftist symbolism.
The so-called peace symbol is really the Cross of Christ, upside down and broken!
The presumed condition of extreme distress signalled by an upside-down flag is completely in line with Obama’s theme of the urgent need for “change”, and for Bush’s “failed policies”. This was not accidental. Many on the left display upside-down flags or avatars as they await their chance to “take our country back” from the patriots.
Easy. That is a NUANCED PICTURE.

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