Upside-down display of American flag stirs dispute (Rats get same respect as they gave Bush)

But, O'Toole said there is a reason behind the act.

"The black flag is because our country is dying," he said. "It's never been more divided than it is right now. The upside down American flag is because the country is in distress."

Believe me, Texans are traumatized by the national as well as some of the local elections.

Between the influx of yankees, and Katrina victims (that won't go home) we had some Demo upsets.

We're pi**ed off

He sounds just like every single Liberal I ever heard.

I was talking to a guy in the parking lot on the way in today. He was outright shocked that I didn’t support Mr. Hope and Change. I said ‘I can’t wait for Obummer to pay my f’’n mortgage for me’.

He said ‘don’t count on it’ and laughed. I said, ‘Right, I forgot that I’m on the wrong end of THAT shakedown... I am taxed at 30% NOW!’ They never know how to respond to that - cold hard logic totally escapes them.

[Ditter]

I don’t have a flag or a flagpole, as a sign of disrespect I am going to call him president BO.

On the video he does say that he will no longer fly the flag at all.

The lady said in the article that she did NOT vote for Obama.

"I just don't think it's American," said Garner. "I just don't think it's neighborly. We have children that live in our neighborhood and I'm sure their parents have to explain to them why that flag is hanging like that."

But I bet she thinks explaining homosexual marriage to a 5 year old is no problem!

It is a sign of severe distress and a request for immediate physical help.

I understand why this guy is protesting, but IMHO he should have tied a black ribbon to the halyard.

This seems to be the meme coming from the left. They are demanding respect after 8 years of acting like spoiled babies throwing temper tantrums. Take a look at this steaming pile:

Now they want instant healing? Ha, fat chance!

[DooDahhhh]

I want nothing to do with these people.

My flag came down after the ‘habeus corpus’ decision. It flew at half staff on Sept. 11th and will fly tomorrow and on Memorial Day. My allegiance is ONLY to those who ‘paid the price’ with blood or time.

[Trailerpark Badass]

The flag is something Garner holds close to her heart. In fact, the American flag is painted on Garner's birdhouse and bench.

What a patriot.

[tobyhill]

But if she's a Republicans then she's just another RINO in the herd. She said she wants “unity” like 9/11. There was no unity after 9/11, it was just the Rats taking a 2 day break from bashing Bush.

[tbpiper]

That picture still makes my blood boil.

[Pistolshot]

Democrats don't show respect, they just demand respect

Perfect tagline material, thanks.

[sport]

Nor do I.

President-elect Obama's political sponsor:

Screw Stalinists and the useful idiots who vote for them.

[CanadianMusherinMI]

well she earns one point.
i know more than a few dems that did not vote this election. did not like obama, but would rather poke their own eyes out than pull the lever for any R.
unfortunately they teach very little about the flag in school. i bet if you asked a entire class of 12th grade students the percent that know what it means would be minimal. maybe it is time for them to learn....

[truthkeeper]

Yeah, well read what the OTHER people said...comments...at the end of the article. (Like I said in my post!)

[Malacoda]

I refuse to use the word "President" conjunction with that man's name. Period. I view it as besmirching the office.

It's already driving my lib moonbat mother-in-law nuts.
