considering that this happened in Marin county I'm surprised that anyone was offended.

All things like this do is create more Republican voters. Keep it up libs, keep it up.

This man is entitled to do and say what he wants about this country on his own land. However, he leaves himself open to ridicule and the disrepect of all who hear or see it. He really needs to sign onto the cruise that will take him to a foreign country that agrees with him. No one is making him stay.

This is really pitiful. Why do I see this fellow as an aging hippie?

To be fair, I feel his pain. We flew our flag upside down during the Impeachment hearings.

He's an attention seeking jerk.
I'm thrilled he's so distressed.
Hope he stays that way for 4 more years!

FALSE use of the U.S. Distress Signal should be the same as a false 911 call!

I've seen a "Blue States" flag advertised for sale on the Internet. It looks just like Old Glory, except they're no red stripes.

You're going to see more and more protests like this upside down flag. I've been lurking on DU and some of the protest suggestions include:

1. Disrupt the Jan 20th inauguration.

2. Boycott Wal-Mart.

3. Disconnect your cable TV.

4. Boycott Red Lobster.

5. Cut off all ties to Republican relatives, such as not letting grandparents see their grandchildren.

6. Gay people should visit churches, feign interest in Christ over an extended period, and then announce "Surprise! I'm gay." It is unknown what this would accomplish.

7. Punch someone, anyone, in the face.

Those are the ones that come to mind off the top of my head....

Somebody could put up a sign, directly accross from his building, that says, "Ford Green sucks."

"A downtown property owner protesting President Bush's re-election raised a furor in this small Northern California town when he placed an upside down American flag on his two-story building."


They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and this Kerry supporter takes that truism to a new low.

Guess he must have admired Kerry's book featuring an upside-down flag on the cover!

I hope he has thanked a vet for assuring his freedom to express lame opinions.
