The Democratic Convention?; UPDATE: False Alarm
Townhall.com ^ | July 26, 2016 | Matt Vespa

The Daily Caller made a good observation: where are the American flags? 

UPDATE: I stand corrected, folks (and thank God). Snopes found plenty of Democrats wearing red, white, and blue at the convention, though the photo below doesn't convey as much. Nevertheless, such patriotic swag was present and the post has been updated to reflect the changes. Now, that's not to say that Democrats didn't foul-up last night by not mentioning ISIS. Cortney noted that the rise of the Islamic State, or any mention of the threats we face from radical Islam, was omitted. Not good, Democrats...not good.

Now, in terms of flags in general—there was a Palestinian flag displayed last night. I’m (still) wondering when these Democrats are going to start booing God, like they did in 2012. Will it be tonight?

I worked the 2008 DNC. There were plenty of hand flags handed out, only to be carelessly discarded on the lawn of the Pepsi Center. A few other Dems hustled to pick up after their slobbish brethren.

People in the audience wearing red, white, and blue is not the same as the DNC flying American flags.

Snopes was taken over by the Dark Side and is now a Hillary front. Don’t believe anything you read there unless you have it vetted.

I remember before snopes there was another site and that I used to go to, and that was very reliable.

Red, white and blue are also the colors on the flags of France, UK and Russia among others, so I wouldn’t conclude anything from this.

Taken over? Snopes has been a Donk run organization from inception.
