Uh-oh! You mean like plastic tablecloths they use on military installations?:
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.
Second, they handed out tons of these flags, and the flag could have simply fallen off of his chair. I guarantee you that if they handed these out at the GOP convention tons of them hit the floor too.
Frankly, printing little flags like is wrong in my opinion, I’m a hard core conservative but this photo means nothing really, non issue, sorry. You print little flags like there they’re going to wind up on the floor, in BOTH HOUSES.
Bzzzzzt. Wrong.
Too the average joe this looks really bad
Yep. Before we try to turn this molehill into a mountain, we better make sure there are no similar pictures of Republicans in the proximity of discarded toy flags.
He's a Senator. If anyone should know it, he should.

You're right.

It appears propped against his chair and both of his hands appear free.

It's ammo.

Sorry, I do not agree. This fits in with the whole G-damn America attitude the Neo-Marxist Obama followers have. Maybe a flag falling off a chair during the hoopla of a convention isn’t a big thing, but these people don’t hold the flag and what it represents in high esteem. Yes, I am questioning their patriotism!
The bottle is upright.
Why?
Because it has a use for Biden, unlike the flag which is merely a stage prop.
If the Democrats didn't think that perhaps distributing all these flags as props would lead to their misuse, they're both unpatriotic AND stupid...
I agree with you. The flag could easily have just fallen, and this moment could have happened to anyone. By raving about a non-issue like this, we sound like the right wing equivalent of the moonbats.
How about all the photos of the flags tossed in garbage bags? You may not think it matters, but it's an opportunity to zing the Democrats on their lack of respect for the flag. If the Dems and their liberal ilk in the media can fabricate issues to attack Republicans on, turnabout is fair play my friend. The difference is, this issue wasn't fabricated. The pictures tell the true story. Beating the Democrats at their own game is always a good thing.
Hold it right there. Biden is not one of the "many".
Biden is a U.S. Senator. I learned flag etiquette (note the spelling, BTW) in the Boy Scouts. It took me about 15 minutes, and it has stayed with me all my life. Maybe that is because I care about my country.
If Joe Biden doesn't know, can't be bothered to learn (in his 35 years in the Senate), or just doesn't care about, flag etiquette he is disrespecting the entire nation.
It is an important issue. He wants to represent the U.S., but doesn't respect it.
