[tsmith130]

I was going to ask this exact question on another thread earlier today but got distracted. Good for you Doug!

[Parley Baer]

The dimocRATS were caught red handed. Bwahahahaha. Doug, you are right. If they were stolen than file a police report. Hahahahaha.

Section 176 - Respect For Flag

"The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise."

"The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way."

"The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning."

I think the whole world now knows the democrats have been lying all along.

If the Dim's convention ended 2-3 days ago, I may buy their version of the story (it's in the storage, etc.) However, there are several facts that make their claim difficult to accept:

1. the flags were found in the venue. I don't think the Dims rented the venues a week after the convention.

2. If they were in the storage, how could the boyscouts got their hands on the flags?

3. The vendors claimed that the flags were next to the dumpster, and there are many pics showing that, indeed, the Dims threw (at least some of) the flags.

The Dims didn't realize that their property were 'stolen'? And, as this thread suggests, they didn't file any report to the police?

[nuconvert]

It sure looked to me like the flags were in plastic trash bags with other items that anyone would consider trash

In a preliminary contact with the Denver Police, I was transferred to an officer in the communications department. She knew of no police report for the theft of such flags, but she referred me to the Public Information Officer, whom I will attempt to call on Monday. That is the latest on the story. We will let you know the status after the discussion with the PIO.

Interesting. Those flags are $5.00 a piece. So $60,000 was "stolen" and noone thought to file a police report. Well ModelBreaker has four of them. Every precinct caucus I run in the future will start with one of them and the story of how the rats were going to throw them out.

So come and get me Obama, for receiving stolen property.

You guys should have seen it today. They passed them out to a huge crowd at the McCain/Palin rally. The flags started at the front and then spread across the crowd. By the end, 12,000 Republicans were waving flags paid for by the DNC.

That's what conservatives have spent the last 50 years doing. Cleaning up after the mess left by liberals. We even know what to do with their trash.

[Anti-Hillary]

So I have a question????? If they were in “storage” why were they in trash bags and NOT bins or boxes????? I am pretty sure when you place an order for thousands of flags they are not delivered to you in trash bags!!! And if you were storing them for future use you would put them in a box and in a storage closet. NOT IN A TRASH BAG ON A LOADING DOCK!!!! They are caught red handed!!!

[freespirited]

I love this comment from the Denver Post site:

If the flags had been French, the democrats would have taken them home like they were a national treasure and displayed them proudly.

[doug from upland]

Here are the statements from the Democrats.

“American flags were proudly waved by the 75,000 people who joined Barack Obama at the Democratic Convention. John McCain should applaud that, but instead his supporters wrongfully took leftover bundles of our flags from the stadium to play a cheap political stunt calling into question our patriotism.

Ummm, “wrongfully took” means stolen.

[BobbyT]

Thanks for beating me to it guys.

Could someone be sure to post pictures (and, on other websites where this is brought up, links to pictures) of the bags full of other trash and food-stained flags whenever the "recycling" lie is brought up?

Also, does anyone have further pictures showing the way the flags were really treated, besides those couple that have been circulating?

[Huck]

I remember when I first saw the pictures of the discarded flags at Invesco. If I had a flag from a convention, I would want to save it as a souvenir. I still have the first flag to fly on my car after 9-11. It’s a keepsake. Tattered by the wind.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

This is going to hurt them bigtime and they know it.Low lifes.
