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...

We know how Obama, Ayers and their ilk feel about the American flag.

I saw pictures of clear garbage bags containing a lot of small flags along with assorted trash...it kind of surprised me that more people didn't take the flags with them as souvenirs.

I wonder how the Republicans got the flags? The Pepsi Center is owned by a Republican, so he might have given the ones found there to the Republicans. Maybe the Republicans just went dumpster diving.

I turned on Fox and they mentioned they would be covering the ‘flag flap’ later in the show. Guess we will learn more later.

The evening news is the libs equivalent of bedtime stories. It doesn't have to be true, just make them feel good. And right. And superior. And progressive. And cutting edge. LOL

How do you manage to talk to a lib without laughing when they assert something that's utterly stupid is true? I seldom get to rebut because I laugh.

Carl Cameron is covering it right now on FOX. This is going to blow up big time on the Dems.

Good...it should.

The DNC has issued a statement saying the flags were taken in order to pull off a cheap political stunt.

They must monitor DU.

the folks over at DU are claiming that “the Republicans stole the flags from the Obama people” and that “the Obama camp has been looking for them and wondering where they went”. After all, “just because they are in trash bags doesn’t mean they are trash.” “that’s Republicans for you; they steal your flag and then they wave it.” Another insisted, “these aren’t real flags, they are just pieces of Chinese s**t. Everyone throws them out.”

Why am I not surprised? DU appears to be an echo chamber, where idiots convince themselves that everyone shares their hatred of America, Bush, and common sense.
