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...

There's a photo from last week showing the flags being tossed as garbage. I forgot the thread or Freeper who posted it.

The McCain campaign showed be able to produce the photo making the DNC look like the liars they are.

I remember seeing large clear bags of trash after Obama’s speech which included many American flags. Did anyone else notice this?

Original message
Actually the Obama Campaign has said they were looking for those flags
And had them bagged for future rallys. Somehow they ended up at a republican rally.

Hey Ang...the JACKASS party continually tries to claim that their candidate "loves America" after his wife says she's not proud of the US till her husband run for president, even after he's proven to be friends to communists, marxists, terrorists and our enemies.

We know what LIEberals mean when they claim to "support the war on terrorism"...

LIEberals leave no doubt about what they mean when they "support the troops"...

They must think everyone is DUmb as they are.

IIRC an “upside down flag” is a distress signal.

This is my favorite story of the day. I saw the shot of the discarded American flags and my heart sunk. That they were saved by Republicans is all anyone needs to know about the two parties.

Hello:
Just told my 17 year old about this flag desecration by Obama or by those for whom he is responsible.
He had already heard about it!
He said that the dems/obama seem to make an awful lot of mistakes on big and small things.
BTW, my 20 year old, who was a virulent Obamamaniac, told me a week or so ago (before Gov. Palin’s selection and speech), that he was losing confidence in Mr. O. He said he did not like the people at his school (UGA) who supported O. He said they were intolerant and thought “they were better than everyone else.”
Although this message is anecdotal, seems to me Obama is losing his lock on the college kids.
That leaves the following demos for the magic AA: black people who vote on race alone, guilt-ridden self-flagellating white (rich) liberals looking for personal catharsis and secular forgiveness, most denizens of academia (redundancy alert), and terrorists (Ayers) and their sympathizers. Dean and Pelosi, too.
I don’t think HRC will to jump on this bandwagon to perdition when Biden “feels” a brain (?) clot approaching.
Finally, it is clear to me that Gov. Palin is a natural at this stuff.
As sportscasters are prone to say:
“You can’t teach that.”
