I said and believe we can win without silly tricks and gimmicks.

Tell the people what we would do if elected and compare it with the other side.

Tricks and gimmicks are juvenile.

Just my opinion.

There is no silly trick or gimmick here. Some press photog took a photo of Biden and his treatment of the flag, and now the press is running it.

Can you see a distinction between "images of the flag" and "the flag?"

Yep, just like I see the difference between images of the flag on the paper plates, napkins and paper cups that you yourself mentioned as being taboo and "the flag". I was agreeing with you by the way, next time I won't bother. Carry on.

Snopes has a political reputation, and it isn’t conservative.

Could be, but the videos don't lie.

Sorry, it wasn’t you, it was Scythian that I was agreeing with and who had the facts.

From Scythian’s previous post:

No. Section 8i of the Flag Code reads: “It should not be ... printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard.”

Down in the thread, there's a link to other photos of the flags in garbage bags along with Obama signs.

So much for Bambi saying they wouldn't disrespect the flag that way.

There are MANY threads posted here about the Boy Scouts rescuing THOUSANDS of American flags -- near the dumpsters, after the RAT convention in Denver.

That looks JUST LIKE the flags rescued and adopted out to the McCain/Palin supporters at the Rally yesterday... I think that photo gives further proof that the DNC was done with them and didn’t care about the ultimate destination.

I’d rather have the press look into Biden’s cozy relationship with the DuPonts and the Banking interests, and his son’s lobbying efforts. Important stuff that impacts how taxpayers and the public at large are being used and abused. The flag stuff is purely symbolic.

you really aren’t supposed to print the American Flag on things such as shirts, paper plates, napkins and all that stuff that many use all the time without thinking.

That's not true. Printing facsimiles of the flag is perfectly fine. The code linked to in CE2949BBs post only applies to the flag and facsimiles are not considered to be authentic flags.

False dichotomy. We have no choice and should be thankful for what we get.

"Purely symbolic" sounds like BJ Clinton.

That does not apply to miniature flags. I’ve already said that.

Unfair. That could have been the flag of someone behind him. Come on, guys, don’t react like they do on the other side.

First, many do not know flag ettiquite, you really aren’t supposed to print the American Flag on things such as shirts, paper plates, napkins and all that stuff that many use all the time without thinking.

Uh-oh! You mean like plastic tablecloths they use on military installations?:

yes, it could have been left by whoever would be sitting directly behind the vp candidate kike maybe his chief of staff or some other high ranking DNC official

I made the point upthread that this whole flag issue is more an indifference to appropriate display of the flag than a patriotism issue.

The dems should have thought about that more when they planned there Denver extravaganza.

You bet’cha. These people don't care one ioda about our flag.

What burns me is the amount of people congress (Dems and Pubs) are allowing into this country that hold NO allegiance to this country.
