Hundreds of flags that were discarded by the DNC and headed to the trash were rescued and are being given out today at the McCain-Palin Rally in CO.

It is unclear as to how the flags were discovered, some were reportedly discovered by a vendor by a dumpster. The flags were stuffed into dozens of black garbage bags and others were crammed into a supply closet awaiting disposal...Developing details...

Unbelievable disrespect of our stars and stripes by the DNC and the One.

Apparently, these were merely "props". "Props" that had served their purpose and were now to be discarded along with the styrofoam Greek columns.

I should have made it clear in the title...these are AMERICAN flags used by the DNC at their convention.

AMERICAN flags discarded like so much used Kleenex...

Libs HATE the flag - that's why they burn it so often. I am only surprised that so many of them were willing to hold them long enough for the cameras to capture that historic moment.

That tells me that deep down, these people know that the way they are behaving is wrong and that most Americans don't feel as they do - why else would they feel the need to pretend they are something that they are not (patriotic)?

LOL!!!! McCain/Palin slapping around Obambi like a Piñata!

[GeorgiaDawg32]

if you want a good laugh, the DU is saying now the RNC STOLE the flags (which were put away for future use)..

McCain, sell those flags to us at $50 each.

The title confused me, and I was wondering why we would rescue DNC flags from the garbage instead of throwing a match to them.

Dems' Flags 'Rescued' by McCain

Republican presidential hopeful will scold Democrats for dumping 12,000 American flags in trash bags at convention

For clarification.

Maybe a mod will fix the title for us?

To the Democrats, this election is not about the country, it's about the Democrats. To Obama, it's about Obama. Love of country, in their order of priorities, comes somewhere after ‘free’ government money and the latest edition of the Oprah show....way after.

Sarah live on Fox at 2:30 pm, Sat
By the way - when I opened our local county GOP office door on Thursday, after Sarah spoke, I had 10 new volunteers waiting in line. All day was packed with new volunteers. Sarah rocks.

Thanks.
This is a big story. Very Very big!
Wrote to the Denver Post. Hopefully they’ll play this up.
Just outrageous.
Drudge has a link but it doesn’t appear to work.

[DJ MacWoW]

They’re out of luck with that line as there are too many pics of them crammed in trash bags. DUmmies really DO live in an alternate reality.

[Tax Government]

Sell the flags for $1K each.

[sauropod]

heard about this.

Very bad PR for Barry of Nazereth.

“the DU is saying now the RNC STOLE the flags”

These are the folks who want to run your country, friends.
