Florida Veterans Demand Democrat Party Remove American Flag Altered With Obama’s Image
Florida Political Press ^ | 3/13/2012 | Tom Tillison

Posted on 03/14/2012 4:48:17 AM PDT by blueyon

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 didn’t take the Obama flag down immediately, prompting Van Beck to declare that they would take the flag down for her.

Just as bad as the Sep 11, 2001, photo in the NY Times of Billy Ayers trampling the flag.

"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."

From American Thinker, September 16, 2008
Article: Obama's Foul Weather Friends
By Scott Swett and Roger Canfield

"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.

They forgot to put the motto: "Obey" under his visage...

Shepard Fairey is the 'artist' (commie propagandist) who created the "Hope" and "Change" posters for Obama.

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, I’m 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

Here is the 'thank you' letter Barack Obama sent to Shepard Fairey:
"Dear Shepard, I would like to thank you for using your talent in support of my campaign. The political messages involved in your work have encouraged Americans to believe they can help change the status quo. Your images have a profound effect on people, whether seen in a gallery or on a stop sign. I am privileged to be a part of your artwork and proud to have your support. I wish you continued success and creativity.

Sincerely, Barack Obama.'"

Ooooo, good idea... maybe we can get some of these flags and distribute them around the country and hold flag burning rallies, and place an emphasis on the concept of, "which flag do you pay allegiance to" then burn the Obama flag and hoist high the American flag, and along with the burning flag throw in photos of Obama mentors and acolytes... Which America, America... take a stand!

SIGN ME UP. Brilliant idea! And regardless of any bills passed 'prohibiting' protests, American patriots should meet every public appearance of that Kenyan usurper with those foul banners bearing his image, and proceed to shred them, burn them and piss on them while chanting at the top of their lungs,
"NO MO 'O'!!!"

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.

That obscene banner would achieve perfection with a few strategically placed brown stains.

And maybe a few yellow stains, too.

I would object if the flag had Ronald Reagan on it. It’s just not appropriate.

these people are like a cult and are an embarrassment to themselves.

A freeper posted this ad for an anti-Obama bumper sticker bumper sticker:

“That Obama bumper sticker on your car may as well say ‘Yes, I am THAT stupid’ “
