MARTIN BASHIR: "It's time now to Clear the Air and to ask a question: what is the purpose behind Sarah Palin's current bus tour? It's difficult to ask that question directly because Sarah Palin specializes in checkbook journalism. That is, she only gives interviews to a network that pays her in excess of $1 million a year. So we're forced to make judgements from the outside and it all looks like the precursor to a presidential campaign. The vehicle itself reminds us of all those campaign buses that crisscross the nation at election time. The media are ever-present, catching her every handshake and every book signing. And the journey itself visiting locations of national importance along the East Coast and proclaiming once again as the most patriotic American that ever lived.
And yet, even in her paid-for interview, she seems coy and almost confused about what she's doing. "This is not a campaign bus," she said on Fox News. "This is a bus to express to American how much we appreciate our foundation and to invite more people to be interested about all that is good about America." It all sounds like a wonderful commitment to American values and American history, but it's nothing of the kind. In fact, the whole thing could be in breach of a federal law because the United States Flag Code establishes important rules for the use and display of the stars and stripes, the flag of the United States. Under standards of respect and etiquette, it's made clear that the flag of the United States should never be used for any advertising purpose whatsoever.

Thanks for post, here’s an idea for next time
Head should read
MSNBC’s Confused Bashir Throws Po-Po At Pailin Bus
A recurring theme: any accusation against Palin applies tenfold against the Obama.
That’s the networks new slogan..”It’s OK to BURN the American flag, you just can’t FLY it!”
“Is it time yet?”
Love it, I’m ready but hurry, my health is failing—while I’m still able...
Thanks!
Bashir, Bashir, Bashir... sounds vaguely ... mooslim.
They all think the dhimmis are in breach of federal law.. err.. sharia..
What happened to the first amendment liberals all of a sudden?
Sounds like he’s having a Neville Chamberlain moment here.
It’s not even that — it’s a picture of bunting.
Maybe that's why Zero refused to wear a lapel flag early in his '08 campaign?
We’ve already had the “oh-so-PC” liberal school teachers tell students they couldn’t wear American flag shirts because it was offensive to the “hispanics”.
Hilarous to see these PDS-infected buttheads come up with stuff like this.
Maybe this guy should take a look at Obama’s logo from the last election...
(”Oh, no! It’s not a flag! It’s just red, white and blue with some red stripes! That doesn’t mean it’s a flag! Sarah Palin is using a flag! Someone should sue her! That would shut her up! And she SHOULD be shut up, because she’s an idiot! No one in their right mind would vote for her. In fact, only 200 people in the country care anymore. She’s last week’s news! Rudy is the only hope for the Republican party... honest! Read the polls!”... etc. etc. etc.).
HAHAHAHAHAHA, the medias screwed!
What a silly thing to claim. Though, by now, I know not to expect anything better from the media.
Meanwhile, some folks still wonder why the media is no longer our "watch dog." Here's your sign! It's loaded with foreigners, some of whom, don't necessarily have our best interests in mind. Especially one like Bashir. Who, just like Obama, identifies himself a Christian. Which we all know is:
LMAO.....that would mean one cannot legally advertise the sale of flags themselves...
Just as a goof Sarah should ask George W. Bush to join her for a few stops. I’m not really seriously suggesting this but it would be interesting to see how many libtard heads would explode.
Does Sarah point a gun at the media’s head and force them to follow her around?
