MARTIN BASHIR: "It's time now to Clear the Air and to ask a question: what is the purpose behind Sarah Palin's current bus tour? It's difficult to ask that question directly because Sarah Palin specializes in checkbook journalism. That is, she only gives interviews to a network that pays her in excess of $1 million a year. So we're forced to make judgements from the outside and it all looks like the precursor to a presidential campaign. The vehicle itself reminds us of all those campaign buses that crisscross the nation at election time. The media are ever-present, catching her every handshake and every book signing. And the journey itself – visiting locations of national importance along the East Coast and proclaiming once again as the most patriotic American that ever lived.
And yet, even in her paid-for interview, she seems coy and almost confused about what she's doing. "This is not a campaign bus," she said on Fox News. "This is a bus to express to American how much we appreciate our foundation and to invite more people to be interested about all that is good about America." It all sounds like a wonderful commitment to American values and American history, but it's nothing of the kind. In fact, the whole thing could be in breach of a federal law because the United States Flag Code establishes important rules for the use and display of the stars and stripes, the flag of the United States. Under standards of respect and etiquette, it's made clear that the flag of the United States should never be used for any advertising purpose whatsoever.

Well at least it appears that Martin Bashir for the first time in his life is proud of his country.
Exactly! She is driving them nuts, with no effort on her part at all, just by being herself--a patriotic, conservative, beautiful woman. :)
Now that's an excellent point.
Under standards of respect and etiquette, it's made clear that the flag of the United States should never be stepped on, soiled or burned either. Maybe he should chat with the Leftists first.
I have burned many flags, but I know how to do it. I am very familiar with Federal standards on the flag.
When my kids were in Scouts, we provided a flag retirement service as an ongoing community service project. Businesses, schools and local government offices would bring us their worn flags to be retired in a respectful manner.
This punk probably never read anything about it until he perceived a Palin attack opportunity.
Okay; she just lost my vote, as she is “clearly” unsuited to be President: not only can I easily read every word, but also her signature! That is unamerican! < /sarc >
the left are losing their minds...
President Urkel lands in Buffalo, NY for fundraiser.
Ruh-roh. What's that on the tail?
Now, all of a sudden you all are wrapping yourselves in it?! That is an LOL!~
It seems appropriate to me that the definition of "seared consciense" be posted in this thread. I think it applies to Martin Bashir specifically, and many other media personalities in general.
Seared conscience: inability to distinguish right from wrong due to a hardened heart.
