They do not depict an actual American flag.

That's the problem right there.

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


No problem understanding the concept described.

However were is a published picture of Obama wearing a shirt of blue stars as depicted in the picture?

This reminds me of the actually published — on the street — mewspaper headline saying “Dewey Beats Truman.”

The Moonbats fit to be tied..............

....”We abhor John McCain’s political viewpoints. But such is the disaster that Dean/Brazile/Pelosi have wrought by foisting an unqualified to be president flip-flop-flim-flam man on the Democratic grassroots that millions of good, true Democrats will vote for John McCain over a flip-flop-flim-flam Obama”........

Flag Etiquette
STANDARDS of RESPECT

The Flag Code, which formalizes and unifies the traditional ways in which we give respect to the flag, also contains specific instructions on how the flag is not to be used. They are:

* The flag should never be dipped to any person or thing. It is flown upside down only as a distress signal.
* The flag should not be used as a drapery, or for covering a speakers desk, draping a platform, or for any decoration in general. Bunting of blue, white and red stripes is available for these purposes. The blue stripe of the bunting should be on the top.
* The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. It should not be embroidered, printed or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use. Advertising signs should not be attached to the staff or halyard
* The flag should not be used as part of a costume or athletic uniform, except that a flag patch may be used on the uniform of military personnel, fireman, policeman and members of patriotic organizations.
* The flag should never have placed on it, or attached to it, any mark, insignia, letter, word, number, figure, or drawing of any kind.
* The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.

No doubt... the person who signed-off at the press check was an illegal alien.

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 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.

"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.

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

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 [the answer my friend is] 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?

Finally! A concise description of Obama’s concept of change ... a distress signal from an upside down American flag.

And don’t tell me that’s not a flag.
