If this was the only pic, of well wrapped flags in green trash bags, the DNC response "might" hold some water with some people (even though the bags were found near dumpsters):

The only problem with the DNC response, and what CBS is missing, is the "other" pics. Not pics of well wrapped flags, but of flags in trash bags with food, forks, empty water bottles, etc:

If CBS had seen these pics, would they really believe the DNC saying: "I mean, c'mon, we were never ever going to throw out flags."?
On second thought, they believed microsoft word could make a "th" in the 70's....

Why did they have 12,000 left-over flags in the first place???? Seems the DNC could not even give the flags away to Obama followers.

Looking at the top picture they sure look like they are in trash bags to me. The bottom three pictures are truly shameful.
To: Always Right
Well, for *some* of the Obama followers, those flags were from the wrong country...

It’s the SeeBS tentacle of the DNC. The network of such liberal greats as Dan Rather. I wouldn’t have expected anything else.

Too bad the author of article doesn’t print his e-mail address so you might forward these photos to him via CBS.

So McCain can make an ad with this picture telling the people that nObama was going to donate them to that it's their repsonsibility to clean off the used food and recycle the water bottles.

If the flags were the Hammer and Sickle, they would have been treated like gold by the Demorats!

I would suggest that both events could be true. The flags were collected and bagged as people exited. Some however didn’t turn them in, they trashed theirs.

If you explain to CBS that these pictures are “fake but accurate”, they may pick up the story. It’s the only logic they can muster.
