Excellent. I hope FNC gives this story some coverage. (Don’t have much hope for the other networks).

so much symbolism on so many levels to the callousness and “don’t get it” Democrats who say they love Country, and the environment. I wonder if the American Flags that Obama used were made in China?

I’ll be watching. I’m sure it will be quite a grand spectacle. I expect to hear maybe some “boos” on cue. Shame on those Obama cult members for trashing the flag. I guess if Barry’s picture isn’t on something, it’s not important.

Yea, they said on Fox that they would cover it live, not so hopeful for CSPAN, Drudge has it and Hot Air etc, this is going to be hard to ignore.

Here is the kicker to the article ..”Republicans tell me that a worker at Invesco Field in Denver saved thousands of unused flags from the Democratic National Convention that were headed for the garbage. Guerrilla campaigning. They will use these flags at their own event today in Colorado Springs with John McCain and Sarah Palin.

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. “

That event in Colorado springs is coming up soon on the TV

I would have loved to have another flag to take home, what`s wrong with these people? They could have just said please help yourselves to a flag on your way out? It only leaves one conclusion, they do not like the flag!

Good timing to do this today since most of the east coast will be indoors.

Obama uses the flag for a prop....nothing more. The “ignorant rednecks” who cling to their bibles and guns must be appeased in public. He’d just assume wipe his rear with it.

The title of the actual story is “Republican Recycling” Nowhere in the title did I see “flag”. The mods stress using the actual title, and not do not want editorializing on it.

Democrats Waste, and Republicans repeap the benefits. Republicans love the waving the flags, think how much money the Republicans will save.
