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.

Damn! I’m not aware even of Stalin’s followers depicting him on the Soviet flag. On the other hand, I’ve never heard an 0bamabot claiming the sun shined brighter thanks to 0. No doubt that’s coming soon.

From the link you provided, I clicked on “USA Obama Flag” and there it was. Plus the flag company put a “note” about the angry veterans and the response they’ve received about the flag.

Gotta say it— almost convinces me to vote for Mittens if he's the nominee. Scary.

Who am I kidding? At this point I'd vote for a rock over Obama.

Interesting that baraq has the cajones to pull a stunt like this now BEFORE the election.

He is acting like there won’t be one or he already has the stuffed ballot boxes already.

And NO democrat or media type will object.

“...I’m shocked and dismayed that they flew it anywhere near the US Flag especially under it....”

Just be thankful they didn’t fly this piece of drek ABOVE the Flag of the USA.

The fact that this flag even exists should scare the crap out of everyone.

I'm sure that they're already planning to fly a BO flag from the flagpost that doesn't incorporate any of the U.S. flag's colors, stripes or stars, just so they can thumb their nose back at those veterans.

Same picture, just on a sky blue background or some nonsense like that. They simply can't allow these people to win!

I totally agree. The left want to be governed by their fellow man, not by laws derived from god. They are the “loyalists” of our day.

My thoughts exactly but it could be a fight between you and me to see who would light the fire first.

Can someone who’s great w/Photoshop put 0’s face on the Statue of Liberty in order to show how ludicrous this is?

Well, that would creep me out! I can’t do it, but maybe someone who reads this can do it.

I think his face in a toilet would be more appropriate, though. Just sayin’...... :)
