You can’t make this stuff up!!...lol

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

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

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.

Now THAT is what I call a very NUANCED explanation!...lol

[impeachedrapist]

This is simply a distraction.

I’ll stay focused on my real problems with the lightweight, liberal, blame-America-first Barack Hussein Obama.

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."

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.

“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?

[JimRed]

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.

[yobid]

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

[tips up]

Isn’t an upside down flag a distress signal?

If he is elected, we as a country will certainly be in distress.

I think this is just another example of Barry’s nuanced thinking...

[Izzy Dunne]

I was all set to say something about how we're picking at accidents and reading stuff into innocent little crap.

But dang if that's not an upside down flag!

Cue the moonbats: "It's a sign of a nation in distress after eight years of BushHitler-CheneyBurton..."

[sofaman]

"He says it is a stylized flag designed to blend the stars on Senator Obama's shirt with the flag blowing in the wind."

Especially on the side of the ticket without ObaHamas in the picture.

[SE Mom]

Oh this is RICH- “Matt Chandler with the Obama campaign says the flag is not upside down...”

Ok Matt, I’ll believe you instead of my lying eyes.

[DallasBiff]

This stunt is just going to turn off the voters Obama needs most midwest blue collar workers.

Michelle Obama must have designed the tickets with Obama's final approval.

[edzo4]

you should have seen the first two mock ups that they rejected for the tickets....

[JennysCool]

An upside down flag represents an international symbol of extreme distress.

Does sort of describe the Obama campaign at the moment.

[mattdono]

From the article: “They do not depict an actual American flag.”

And, Barrack Obama doesn’t depict an actual Presidential candidate. It’s just pretend.

[astounded]

As I see it, this is because nobody inside the Obama campaign - including the candidate hisself - knows the proper way to fly the American flag. Likely because they never have done so. Simple as that. They think it more important to “blend” the flag “stylistically” with Obama’s shirt than it is to show it properly, illustrating the problem with Obama’s candidacy in a revealing fashion.
