ABC News is Anti American
They just released (June 30, 2008) a mandatory requirement that all reporters (maybe employees also) can no longer where American Flag pins or any type of US patriotic materials.
My belief is this a direct reaction to the Obama Flag Pin debacle. I believe BHO is proud of his county, he just handled this simple hot button issue so poorly, that it may shed some light on how he will handle himself in the White House.
Like most alphabet soup dinosor media, they are so far in the bag for OBH, they don't even know McCain is still running.
I believe this this blatant attempt to pander to the Left Wing of our country and instill a since of anti-Americanism nation wide, the likes of which we have never seen before.
I have attempted to gather a master list of advertiser emails from the ABC News website, while I have their names, each and every one of the main web sites has no contact info but a phone number.
The list is:
Johnson and Johnson Choice Hotels InsWeb Tylenol Blockbuster HP Pet Meds Orajel University of Phoenix.
The companies need to know that the the vast majority of us(last poll 85%) are proud to be Americans. If you have to pick a side, pick American.
We need to send a strong message to them that says advertising with a company that is un-American will cost them on their bottom line.

Hi Jim.
Do you have a url (link) for this new order and/or do you work there?
The earth is round.
I believe BHO is proud of his country...
Riiiiiight, what makes you think so? He’s so proud of it that his agenda is to CHANGE it - totally.
You mean like by taking the flag out of the oval office and off of the flagpole for starters?
Why are you addressing your comment to me?
Did you mean that for another poster llandres?
Well, I gave the whole entire world a long list of "The View"'s sponsors maybe I should try and find one for World News or This Week with Mr. Alexandra Wentworth?
If you were ever in the service, you would know that the protocol for wearing emblems and medals on the uniform is quite specific. These rules are not subject to personal choice.
This is not a new discovery.
All of the MSM is anti-American and has been for a very long time. This is nothing new.

We in the military can’t wear a lapel flag either
What did you miss from my post?????????
We in the military can't wear a lapel flag either...Of course on Cammies you can as long as it is sewn on, but that is it. Don't you dare try and wear it on your dress uniform or even your working uniform as you will be counseled or written up. Dang it! I wonder if the military is unpatriotic.
Thank you for your service. By signing up, you agreed to wear a jacket with a bull's eye in the middle of it. That is, it is "legitimate" under international law to shoot you if you are in a battle with a responsible foreign power. That does not mean that your commander rightfully accepts that "right" of anyone to shoot you.And that is the beef I have with President Bush's handling of the politics of the Iraq "war." It was war when we invaded Iraq and brushed aside the uniformed forces of Saddam. After that, when Saddam had no place he could allow people to know of his whereabouts - even before he was captured - the situation in Iraq has not been "war" but martial law. Attempts on the lives of American soldiers by ununiformed civilians - whether Iraqi or American, or anything in between - should always have been treated as lawless acts. Such acts should be subject to summary execution just like the German snipers who infiltrated into US-held territory and murdered US soldiers behind the lines during WWII.
I do not assert that execution should necessarily be carried out in all such cases - that is a prudential matter. But the principle is that whoever, being out of uniform, attempts to kill an American soldier thereby forfeits all rights. It is IMHO malpractice for a commander - especially a commander in chief - to accept any other principle. IMHO any other principle delegitimates the US military.
Back on topic, the definition of the uniform is at the discretion of the commanders. If they define flag pins as not being part of the uniform, that is not a problem to me. The uniform as a whole being operatively a far more patriotic symbol than any lapel pin.
What did you miss from my post?????????
Your post was obviously missing the correct over-reaction to a small issue. Get with the program. Small things have major symbolic value and great power.
& NBC & CBS & CNN . . . . .
You obviously can’t read and comprehend. Sorry but typically I have intelligent conversations with FREEPERS. I will remember to post on a second grade level next time. /sarc.
I was joking. Apologies.
I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
