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."

His inmates are running his asylum. Easy to see that he has little or no control in the the day to day stuff. Such idiots.

The so-called peace symbol is really the Cross of Christ, upside down and broken! An urban legend.
It's actually a combination of the semaphore signals for "N" and "D", standing for Nuclear Disarmament. It was devised by a British pacifist.

“w(h)ere is a published picture of Obama wearing a shirt of blue stars”
It’s a simple statement that obammy is THE star. So, thank your lucky stars that he’s the “chosen one.”

The flag really isn’t upside down, it’s upside down AND BACKWARDS. What does that supposed to mean?

One of the designs look as though Obama is wrapped in an upside down flag trying to indicate he's the “savior” of our distress and the other is plain and simply an upside down flag. It's a marketing ploy with a subliminal message they didn't think anyone would notice.

Oh wow. That picture really shows the phony gray hair.
To: MattMa
Does the Obama campaign or the DNC think that this is the way to show how much Obama loves the country?

"They do not depict an actual American flag. The DNCC has full and complete respect for the flag and all rules of display." So we shouldn't believe what we can actually see. I suppose we should accept the DNCC's word that our own eyes are lying? This exposes the true anti-American hatred from the DNCC and the Barack Obama campaign. This should be shoved down their throat along with Jeremiah Wright for the remainder of the campaign. Such an arrogant group of weasels.

The American flag is just another prop in Obama’s on-going one-man show. His entire campaign is about him, not this country; the United States just happens to be where he’s located at the present time.

It’s so phony. Gravitas in a dye bottle fools no one at this stage of the game.

Obama is an idiot who thinks Americans will vote for the anti-American, racist punk. Go back to the playground, kid.

blowing in the wind. OK, where is a picture of Obie wearing that shirt?
Also, on the back it says, "COMMUNITY CREDENTIAL. More collectivist symbolism?
