Hundreds of flags that were discarded by the DNC and headed to the trash were rescued and are being given out today at the McCain-Palin Rally in CO.
It is unclear as to how the flags were discovered, some were reportedly discovered by a vendor by a dumpster. The flags were stuffed into dozens of black garbage bags and others were crammed into a supply closet awaiting disposal...Developing details...
McCain just said “THOSE FLAGS LOOK GREAT!”
“Unbelievable disrespect of our stars and stripes by the DNC and the One”.
...more like just another day by the DNC and the One. I really don’t see the harm in Sarah or McCain saying...”the flags you are holding were saved by Republican volunteers from the DNC garbage”. “That’s their idea of Country First”. “Which Country is my question”!
Yes, I always carefully save things in the dumpster if I think I have a future use for them. ROTFLOL!
I saw pictures of this: the flags were crammed into black garbage bags and clear garbage bags, and were stuffed in the dumpster or lying beside it for trash pickup. Discovered by a vendor who called the local Boy Scouts, who came out, retrieved the flags, carefully smoothed them out and packaged them, and promptly called the RNC. God bless the Boy Scouts.
PRICELESS!!!!!!!
FNC says the crowd is 11,000 and every one of them is waving a Rescued American Flag!
Do any members of DU have an American flag flying correctly as their avitar? I’ve seen some that fly it upside down, but I haven’t noticed if any of them there fly Old Glory in the way that she’s meant to fly.
Link to the Fox Story.
Left a comment demanding they pursue the details.

Fox is talking about this every five minutes. This probably seemed like such a small thing to the dems, but respect for the flag resonates with Americans, and particularly us bitter clingers.
It's really touching how as the flags are being handed out, people are being asked to take the flags home ONLY if they can give them a good home.
I love how people are being asked to do no less for one of these flags than what they would do if they rescued a homeless dog or cat.
...roger that. And it’s more than just the DUmmies—all Dems seem to have the same trouble with truth and reality.
Example: At work on Wednesday (pre-Sarah acceptance speech) one of my highly educated, urban, liberal co-workers stated that she just can’t vote for McCain now because he made a snap judgment by nominating Sarah without vetting her. I inquired as to the source of her information (inserting a sarcastic comment about the MSM). She got very ticked at me and changed the subject. I’m telling you, they all follow the talking points—right or wrong—and those talking points are distributed daily by the MSM.
I hope someone took some pics so they can lay them out in October. (Play the “American flags in the trash” card)
Thanks for the laugh! I needed it... LOL
Does anyone have the video clip of Barry NOT participating in the pledge of allegiance while on stage with the Dim candidates?
I have several Dims I need to show that to.
Oh, for heaven's sake, how hard can it be? All they had to do was designate a couple dozen of their devoted admirers to take them to a veterans' cemetary and put them on the graves, or give them to the local VFW or American Legion.
Ha ha ha ha ha. The dems are saying they were saving those flags for redistibution and repubs stole them.
wwwwwwooooooooohhhhhhhhooooooo some spin!
The upside down flag is meant as an insult to the flag and then these nimrods have the audacity to complain that their flags were stolen!
Beautiful picture, thank you!
