There's a bit of a brewing tempest about 12,000 flags discovered in the trash after the Democratic convention in Denver. Fox News reports that the Democrats tossed them in the trash.

The Obama campiagn says they didn't toss the flags in the trash, that they wouldn't mistreat the flag like that.

Here is AP photo number 467 from the last night of convention. The AP caption reads

Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., his wife, Jill, center, and Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic presidential nominee, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., applaud during talk on the final night at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Thursday, Aug. 28, 2008.

You decide.

There are at least three people in this photo who apparently care less about the flag. Can you name them?

they wouldn't mistreat the flag like that.

I agree. They weren't burned.

The Friday after Obama’s speech, somebody on FR posted photos of the flags from the DNC in trash bags alongside DNC labled items such as tags, etc. If anyone has them, please post link.

Thanks for adding that!

[pennboricua]

you are welcomed , I also recall that Fox made an issue of the flags not just in the bags that you see but in actual plastic trash cans after the event, maybe they are waiting until they are called liars by the zerobama campaign, to release the tapes.

Found the FR thread with the pics of the flags in the trash at the DNC:

Disposal of U.S. Flags at Democratic National Convention (in the trash)

[mass55th]

Thanks for the link. I just posted it myself, then found your reply.

Oh, wait, you asked for a picture of the flags on the trash. I misunderstood.

[Bob Leibowitz]

VERY good.

[mass55th]

I wish they would have gotten a photo before they moved them.

[pennboricua]

I think you meant the trash on the flag.

[pennboricua]

you are welcomed, I hope Fox releases the tape they have, talking about the flags in the trash that very night.
