They were out on the loading dock by the trash containers. They were in garbage bags. Hope this is enough for you.

So you say!!

[Parley Baer]

I forgot to add they were there for a week. I see you are behind on the story.

Let us not forget that Obama's friends HATE our Republic.

Sorry, I don't think that last link I provided was the correct one.

Try this one. It was photo 467 of 649:

It would be nice to know when the picture of the bags in the CBS were taken. Could this be a picture before the convention started?

I agree. To me the photo of the "neat" flags from the garbage bags was a picture taken before the event, before the flags were handed out. The reason I think this way is because they are bundled too uniformly and neatly, like they just came from a factory run. The other pictures, showing them in bags along with other trash, are the after event pictures.

THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT!
That’s a totally INACCURATE and
INADVERTENTLY POSTED photo.

I’m requesting that my post and
your post questioning it be removed
immediately.

I was on several sites on this subject
and it came up in my search as I was
adding info.

I didn’t review carefully before
I posted. GOOD LESSON FOR ME!

Thanks again.

That photo was sadly from a military cemetary in NY.

IS Benin a CBS employee or a poster on a CBS blog? It sounds more like the rantings of a DUer than even an MSM flake.

Didn’t fox show film of vets and Boy Scouts gathering the flags in CO? Seems to me there were a lot of people working on the project of bundling up the flags, not just some McCain staffers creating a situation.

Geez, you'd think they'd know the proper way to dispose of an American flag. Then again, it was New York.

What scum CBS is. See mr McCain. these people who you thought were your friend in the media are stabbing you in the back and every which way they can. your Mexican friends are voting against you and the people WHO run the 527’s that you created area raising big money against you. now do you which side your bread is buttered on?

[Tempest]

LOL! That’s a good one.

[Tempest]

That’s not really any better if CBS is being complicit in spreading FUD.

[Aussiebabe]

Yep, that was exactly my impression. Thanks

[SunkenCiv]
