American flag with President Obama's image sparks outrage at Florida Democrats
Fox News ^ | March 14, 2012 | Joshua Rhett Miller

An American flag with President Obama's image in place of the stars flew over a Florida county's Democrat headquarters long enough to enrage local veterans who called the altered banner "a disgrace."

Lake County Democratic Party officials took down the flag, which flew just below a standard Old Glory on the flagpole outside headquarters in Tavares following complaints by local veterans. But merely taking it down wasn't enough for several local veterans, who said they fought for the flag Betsy Ross made famous, not one with a politician on it.

They got a batch for the Democratic Convention.

I wish to hell they would display them at the Democratic Convention and let the public outrage overflow.

That stupid woman at the Democrat headquarters was totally clueless. To her credit, she took it down without much fuss after she looked up the appropriate flag code.

The flag should never have placed on it, or attached to it, any mark, insignia, letter, word, number, figure, or drawing of any kind.

or picture of Dear Leader...

Remember 2008 when he established The Office Of The President Elect and even drafted a symbol for this “Office”?

I’m gonna refer to his position as the Office of the soon to be former President tossed out on his rump by voters who didn’t like another go at the Carter Administration.

I copied and pasted both pics of the “Obama Flag” and sent them out via e-mail to the people in my Yahoo Address Book. Everyone needs to make this thing go viral. My Facebook page is next. WE HAVE GOT TO STOP THIS MAN FROM BEING REELECTED!!!

And, OF COURSE, the race card was played.

“It leads me to believe that it’s not about the flag,” she told FoxNews.com. “Certain elements cannot accept Barack Obama as president.”

All because it had flown without incident for several months.

Sad, that it took that long for a citizen to see it and say something about it.

God bless all our men and women, who have served and who are serving now.

We owe our liberties to them, both when first won and now as we must remain vigilant to these subversives who would destroy the America founded in 1776 and remake it in their image.

It only took me a few minutes to find a site selling these, http://www.ultimateflags.com/Obama-I-m-the-Man-flag-for-sale.html

Makes me sick.

I posted the article on my Facebook too and it has stirred up a lot of outrage and anger among my patriotic friends...most of which are FReepers, too.

I hope everyone who has a venue like that will share the story. This is the only way it will get around to the whole country. Don’t expect the MSM to do it! I don’t know if any of them...besides Fox...has even mentioned it. Of course, I don’t turn them on or read them online for the most part.

Much better men than that Marxist POS bled and died so our beautiful flag could fly free and unfettered.

Thank you for the ping, dear lady.

You’re welcome, Sir. I have never been so brokenhearted...or angry. It’s NOT just a piece of cloth. As you said, it represents the blood spilled by many heroes.

I saw this earlier this afternoon. First reaction was a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. Then, anger and a few choice words! :)

Thanks for the ping, Luvvy!

I think maybe people were. We just have more venues to express our anger and to share it with others who are, too.

Che wasn’t a president, either. Obama himself should raise cain about having his image on one of our national treasures.

I haven’t heard anything from the White House but the chirping of crickets!
