After a short stand off between a group of veterans and the head of the Lake County, FL Democrat Party, an American flag that had been altered to depict an image of Barack Obama in the space where the stars are normally located was taken down.
The Lake County Democratic Headquarters in Tavares has been flying two American flags outside their office. The first an American Flag and the second the altered flag.
flagobamaA veterans group arrived late this afternoon with the media in tow and demanded that the second flag be taken down. Don Van Beck, executive director of the Veterans Memorial at Fountain Park asked that the altered flag be removed, explaining that it was in violation of federal flag code. He offered a POW/MIA flag to fly in its place.
Nancy Hurlburt, the Democratic Party Chair for Lake County, said she would research the issue but didnt take the Obama flag down immediately, prompting Van Beck to declare that they would take the flag down for her.

"It was at the Chicago home of [Bill] Ayers and [Bernardine] Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming 'community organizer,' had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working 'only to educate' both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers."

"As a gesture of solidarity, the Vietnamese who [Bernardine] Dohrn met in Budapest presented her with a ring made from an American aircraft shot down over North Vietnam. Bill Ayers would receive a similar ring while meeting with Vietnamese communists in Toronto. He later recalled being so moved by the gesture that he 'left the room to cry.' "

Thanks for sharing this story. As someone else pointed out, I missed it on the news too. That is the most disgusting and disrespectful thing I’ve seen in a long time. A communist idiot pictured on the American flag? No thanks.
Those foul f—king bastards should be tarred, feathered and then wrapped up in those obscene mockeries of our Flag, and literally beaten senseless.
If the Republican Party had any spine at all, they would run images of that nauseating desecration every hour on the hour until November.

Check it out! I got a thank you note from Barack Obama. If he is elected, maybe I have a get out of jail free card. All kidding aside, Im honored to be acknowledged by someone so important to the future of our country. Also, the Obama campaign asked me to do a poster illustration for sale on their site. It should be out next week on barackobama.com.-Shepard

Ditto!
That is sickening!
I don't think that would be a good idea. It would give people the false impression that the DemonRats care about our military.
I wouldn’t have confronted them - I’d have taken it down and burned it, and posted the video on Youtube, making sure to show that the flag was being flown by the commies/democRATS.
It tales a lot to piss me off. This pisses me off.
And maybe a few yellow stains, too.
Agreed!
I live to “offend” a RAT.
I would object if the flag had Ronald Reagan on it. It’s just not appropriate.
Hmmmm.....surprised the brainless “progressives” have not read up on flag etiquette. Oh yea....they haven’t read the Constitution of The United States either. Imagine that!!!
My thanks and appreciation to the veterans who opposed this disgraceful act.
Great point...our flag is not to be messed with, period.
