AVARES — The Lake County Democratic Party removed an American flag depicting an image of President Barack Obama at its headquarters this afternoon after several veterans complained.
"That's a complete desecration of the American flag," local veteran Donald Van Beck said.
The controversial flag had been flying under an American flag on the same flag pole. It has an image of Obama in the blue section where the stars are normally located. A similar flag was available for sale on eBay for $12.95.
Today, half a dozen veterans arrived at the party headquarters in Tavares and Van Beck asked party chair Nancy Hurlbert to take down the flag.
She responded that she would research the matter and wouldn't take it down immediately, prompting Van Beck to say that he would take it down. However, Hulbert said they would be trespassing on private property.

I don't even have words for how offended I am at that damn POS and the people that made it. That is the most heinous afront to the United States of America I have ever seen. Burn that damn thing. Spit and stomp on it, then burn it.I agree, Captain!
FReepers: Scroll down this thread - there are plenty of pics posted of this highly-offensive Obama Cult of Personality flag. Be sure to take your BP meds beforehand...
Thank you, ExTexasRedhead, for the heads up on this one.

Or my grandfather, who lived through the previous Obama-like Cult of Personality, in Germany, and often warned me to NEVER think “it can’t happen here”

Jeepers. Thanks for the ping.

"WTH???? What kind of sick joke is that?" This is no joke at all. Even with his numbers in the vomit zone, Obama is confident of a landslide in November.
Even if he barely wins the dems will consider it a mandate and he will make moves in his next term that we can't even imagine now. Elimination of term limits will likely be on the agenda. He is taking a lot of lessons from Hugo Chavez.

A FReeper correctly pointed out on another thread that this flag has been up for over a month.
Why did it take vets to take action when many citizens sheep have driven by and ignored it>
