His supporters bailed him out by having a Veteran give it to him and ask him to wear it.

One of my favorite Rodney Dangerfield lines immediately came to mind after seeing the thread title:

Unfortunately, he already went “all in” by his prior statements that he does not wear a flag pin. Too little, too late ob juan kanobi.....

Gary Trudeau says he doesn't need it. This isn't the way to endear himself to his rabid anti-American base.

Actually he still refused to wear flag pin. A veteran came up and presented that flag pin to him, so he had to wear.

I only caught this tidbits after posting this article.

Putting it back on will not be the issue ... keeping it on form this point forward will be constantly chronicled.

Billary and Hitlery are fun and watchable — this schmuck is boring and predictable. His main objective is to be too vague and flexible, allowing people think ObaMessiah is what-ever-you-want-him-to-be instead of beingAllYouCanBe!!

At this point a card board cutout of Jimmy Carter has more appeal than either O or H, but their base, the useful idiots of the socialists, will still vote for them. It's all about change.

Kent: It’s a pledge pin, sir.

Neidermeyer: Just tell me, mister, what fraternity would pledge a man like you?
Kent: It’s a Delta pin, sir.
Neidermeyer: Report to the stable tonight and every night at 1800 hours. And without that pledge pin! Do you understand?

OK, I give!

America and the world is up against Islamofacists. What does America do? Nominate a man who hates most Americans, wants to disarm the military and join a World Order and his name is?

Drum roll....

Have we lost our freaking minds?!

There, I've said it!

I was watching the news last night and she was giving a speech somewhere. I had to shut it off. I don’t know which is worse: what she says or the way she says it. Probably the way she says it. Her voice is just awful.

Gary Trudeau is absolute scum. He’s in the same category as Ted Rall.
I’m going to have to get some eye wash after seeing that propaganda you posted.

I don’t ever wish physical harm to people, but I do wish for Gary Trudeau to run into some serious financial problems. Darn communist America-hating subversive. I despise him.
