John Forgery Kerry is an empty suit -- leave him alone. He needs a special education class, along with Hanoi Jane, Michael Moore and other mental deficients.
The real disrespect occurred when the flag was painted on the floor.
See: Magritte -- Treason of Images
"This is not a pipe."
It is his Campaign Slogan he has been using all week....
I would not have walked on it, I would have had it removed, and FIRED the MORON who put it there, as well as the MORONS who suggested it, manufactured it, and approved it....
They can't even put enough stars on the flag...
I can't believe that JFK's "people" wouldn't have objected to that stage, but maybe it was just a forged American flag.
What would W have done?
You said:
"Admittedly it doesn't seem very respectful, but isn't there a difference between a flag and a picture of a flag?"
Not in my eyes, it's not... People died and are dying to defend those colors..

"Healthcare" only polls 15% currently, while "Terror" and "Economy" poll 35% each...why does Kerry continue to focus on a losing issue?
It was clearly thoughtless on his part. I think this picture may be a big problem for Kerry if it is used the "right" way. By that I mean that it should be promoted as an example of Kerry being thoughtless.
However, I believe "desecration" should be left unsaid! To those who don't care, it would be dismissed as an "over the top" description. But to those who DO care, they would see desecration without it being said.
With any luck, the Dems will glom onto this picture and spread it themselves. If it were to be used in Time or NewsWeek it could cost Kerry some real votes.
If we raise the alarm, they will sit on it like they tried with the NASA photos.
Somebody who organized the campaign thought it would be appropriate. (I thinks)
There are no stars on HIS flag -- how many stars were on the flag of the USSR?
He's a CLOWN and belongs in a circus sideshow. God forbid this moron be elected to the highest office in the free world.
Yeah, I agree.
The law only applies to actual flags, not to the images thereof. However, for those of us who've defended those colors, there's not much difference. It's all about the intent of the heart - and there's no doubt in my mind what John F'in' Kerry intended.
By the way, love your tagline :)
Holy crap!!! Is this guy kidding me? He`s running for POTUS and he`s stomping on the flag??? WHAT?? That`s like runnning for Pope and spitting on the cross!! This guy is the biggest freggin` moron, I swear. Even my 8 year old nephew who`s in the cub scouts knows about respecting the flag, and this idiot wants to be President?? Oh God help us all if this fat headed moron wins!
A prudent sapient would detect the slight. Effin' in neither prudent nor sapient; and, anyway, you probably got it right: it's his "secret message" to the SDS crowd that his heart remains unchanged with regard to his loathing for the USA.
