Reports: Palestinian Flags Outnumber American Flags at Democratic National Convention
The Algemeiner ^ | July 26, 2016 11:14 AM | Lea Speyer

The Palestinian flag was prominently displayed by activists at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Monday, amid an apparent absence of American flags, according to numerous media and social media postings. […]

Conservative bloggers, meanwhile, highlighted additional flag issues during the DNC, such as the party’s capitulation to protesters demanding the removal of the Mississippi state flag, which depicts the Confederate standard. In a video capturing its removal, demonstrators are heard chanting and cheering. […]

The presence of the Palestinian flag at the DNC comes at a fragile time for pro-Israel Democrats, following major efforts — led by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who competed against and lost to Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential primary — to take a “toughened” stance on Israel. …

The red communist flag with the hammer and sickle was also quite prominent at the DNC. Mississippi’s flag, they have declared verboten.

I wonder what would be the reaction if someone were to burn the Pali flag or the Mexican flag. After all it is a person’s right under the Constitution.

All America haters support the Democrat Party, which was hijacked by Soviet communupists and world socialists long ago. If you hate America, that is your party.

If you work in media, you probably hate America. The Rats are your party.

If you work in Hollywood, you probably hate America. The Rats are your party.

At least 80% of school teachers hate America which is why the Rats are their party.

Trump, “Make America great again.”

Rats, “Hate America again.

I believe there was one DNC convention where they passed out American flags to all the Democrats, creating a media friendly sea of waving American flags during the convention.

However, the problem was as they were leaving the Democrats threw their free flags on the floor or in a trash can. Photos of flag-overflowing trash cans with American flags on the floor went viral.

I'm sure they don't want that to happen again.

Moslem Terrorist “Pali” “flags” and lots of commie flags. Tells the whole story loud and clear. The American D party has been sold out and taken over by our enemies. It is now our enemy’s chief political weapon in their war to destroy us. And it’s very clever, too, because it gets to attack us from within and — as long as they hang onto power in Washington, D.C., they get to use our resources and our tax money against us. It needs a thorough housecleaning with the ringleaders thrown in prison. Only then can we start rebuilding our country and our economy again.

I wish these people would move to the countries where socialism and communism rule since they love them so much.

You're right. There was another in which they booed the Boy Scouts parading the colors.

It wasn't supposed to be this way.

Found a blog on how the '08 DNC Convention Democrats later trashed American Flags they were handed. Just click the picture.

Democrats just are responsible enough to have American flags, I guess.

Thanks. Mark Levin asked today what the reaction would be if instead of soviet union flags, nazi flags were flown?

I always thought it would be great to burn a Soviet flag at a counter-protest of liberals.

During the Bush anti-war protest/counter-protest days in our town they used a lot of UN flags and accidently threw one away one time. So we used it as a doormat to our counter-protest area for many years. I was inspired to do that by a Denver FReeper.
