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

Well let's see? My kids have the flags from the 4th of July parade in their rooms. They will walk around the house and wave them on occasion, they use them in their play and they know why we respect our flag and country.

As for the dRats, I tried to watch some of their convention and during the first part of the week I saw no American flags, until someone in the media (fox I believe) brought the subject up. The day after you saw that flags were passed out by the dRats. And one more point I never heard a chant of USA the only chants I heard were obama or the no mccain blah, blah. So I do not think the point is what should they have done with the flags I believe the point is why do they not have respect for the country and the flag.
Am I questioning the patriotism? Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes.
They seem to love obama and the govt cheese more than they love the freedom that America offers to any legal citizen that wants it.

What an idiot. We were taught in school. Guess they don't do that anymore.

Proper Disposal of the American Flag

"The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning"

This reminds my of when they had the Earth Day celebrations on the Washington Mall years ago.

It took two days for crews to pick up all of the trash.

I wonder how much garbage the Obama-worshippers left behind at Invesco?

They obviously think of our flag as they think of the sweet and precious unborn babies just through them away; they are nothing more than trash....trash them in the local dumpster.

Before McCain speaks today, veterans will haul these garbage bags filled with flags out onto the stage — with dramatic effect, no doubt — and tell the story.

Dramatic effect indeed. This can't help but PO most Americans and is just another nail in the Obama coffin.

However the media whores will back up the Democrats' claim that the Pubbies bought them and are making the whole deal up.

Giving some of the flags to veterans' organization is a great idea as they will continue to remind people of this incident. They ought to put little labels on them that state "Saved from the Democratic garbage heap". Hope they do that in Colorado Springs as well.

FOX said that there were at least a dozen trashbags full of flags out at the dumpsters. Others were found in storage rooms. So I think it's a combination of both.

I am more and more impressed with McCai and his campaign. Good for him for using this. I recall the Dems either throwing out or walking on discarded flags in an earlier convention. Even saw pics. Do they not realize that the Conventions are not “private,” that we learn what they have done? Obama should have exerted some guidance on this, especially considering his and Michelle’s comments and associates.

it is both, the unused flags were taken to the McCain event to be recycled, the boy scouts are properly disposing of the flags that were left in the trash by delagates after the dnc

Which is worse, PR-wise, that Democrats had thousands of flags that they didn't even see fit to use, or that they unceremoniously threw them on the ground around trash cans? I say this because the "unused" thing doesn't fit with what I've read. Sounds like spin, in other words.

“Campaign Carl” of FOX is on scene and was just talking it up....fingers crossed they’ll cover this portion of the appearance.

Daschle said they were taking back The Flag from Rush Limbaugh, they just never said what they were going to do with them.

Well, if the flags had a hammer-and-sickle or a Islamic crescent on them, they would have been kept by the America-hater commies.....

I am sure you are right. For these America hating scum bags, it must have felt like holy water thrown on a vampire to hold an American flag. It was all show.

Good job. Those flags will be much happier in a place where they feel welcome.

We needs pics of the flags around garbage cans or thrown on the floor. Not just folded in plastic bags. Anyone have some of those?
