As an American and a veteran, I am extremely angry at the dishonor towards our nation’s flag...

the emblem of the land of the free, and the home of the brave..

I’m not sure what the DNC was supposed to do with unused hand-flags, frankly. But the Republicans are obviously questioning someone’s patriotism here.

We do not trash flags.

Invesco Field has become “Izvestia Field”..........

At the Colorado speech, McCain just said “THOSE FLAGS LOOK GREAT!”

LOL

If the DUmocrats had an effigy of an American soldier or our current President, they'd have had a KUM-BAY-YA flag-burning.....

DU ...”Dems need to file a Police Report on the theft of the flags.” (hehehehehehe)

From the article: "I’m not sure what the DNC was supposed to do with unused hand-flags, frankly."

When I was a Boy Scout, we would get up long before dawn on Memorial Day. Our leaders would drive us all to the nearby military cemetary, where the American Legion would supply us with flags to decorate each grave.

It was a great demonstration of pride and appreciation to see those many thousands of flags in the morning sun.

When we were done, the Legion would serve us breakfast. I doubt that there exists any Boy Scout who could not have found better uses for these flags than the DNC found.

If we combine this with the flags in the dirt photos of Biden and Bomas kids and the DNC convention it's a slam dunk.

Sometimes photos are far better than words!! We can destroy the rats with this stuff it has to be used.!!!

This really turns my stomach when you think about how many of our guys and gals are fighting for that flag and losing their lives every day to see them dishonored this way is truly sickening and someone should pay!!!!

I’m not sure what the DNC was supposed to do with unused hand-flags,

Use them in the rest of the campaign. Or, if they clearly had more flags than they were going to need, offer them to the Foreign Legion or--for that matter--to the RNC. The 'patriotism' points they could earn would outweigh the dollar value of the flags, at least if they were interested in patriotism.

[rodguy911]

I’m not surprised the didn’t know what to do with the flags since they obviously have no meaning to Democrats.

[rodguy911]

Hell Clint we can all have fun with this one I have already sent it all over the country via e mail.
I can't wait to see what Mark does with this on Monday.

[Katarina]

Thank you for the ping to this.

Hubby saw the story on TV this morning. I can’t repeat what he said, but I’m sure he’s one of hundreds of thousands who feel the same way.

More on this and pictures at Pat Dollard and Gateway Pundit.

Great photo but the DNC has issued a statement saying they were not recovered but STOLEN by the McCain Camp to use as a political prop. Let’s hope we have witnesses who aren’t afraid to tell the MSM precisely where they were found.

[doug from upland]

How would McCain people have gotten in there without credentials to steal them? If they were something they wanted to keep, they would have had someone watching them. That’s what you do with valuables.
