It's just that he or she was just too busy still helping hundreds of elderly old ladies across the streets of Denver to get home in their wheelchairs from the Obama rally while feeding some homeless citizens in between stops.
Right after that they were gonna come back and pick up the thousands of flags being protected n the dumpsters and fly them to Iraq to be used by joyous Iraqi's lining the streets demanding our troops be sent home immediately at a rally organized by Barack, Joe Biden at prime minister Malaki's request.
That's it, I believe that one, everyone knows democrats would never treat the flag in any disgraceful or disrespectful manner, right? What scurrilous charges by the republicans trying to score cheap politcal points right? Yeah right...
The Huffington Post has the democratic national committee's real version of this story here, but I'm afraid with the history the liberals have of mistreating the American flag day in and day out, their disrespect for the Pledge of Allegiance and the multitude on unpatriotic things they consistently do they can talk til they're blue in the face, I'll never believe these weren't chucked in the trash.
McCain Camp ‘Rescues’ Flags From Obama Rally
America’s Election HQ: "Democrats are not caring for their Stars and Stripes. At least that’s the message out of John McCain’s campaign.
McCain supporters, claiming they rescued 12,000 miniature American flags from the site of Barack Obama’s nomination acceptance speech last Thursday, redistributed the orphan flags to audience members ahead of a McCain rally in Colorado Springs on Saturday.
The move was an overt swipe at Obama from a campaign whose motto has been “country first.” But Democratic convention organizers claimed the flags were not going to be discarded — but instead were snatched from the site of Obama’s historic address to carry out a “cheap political stunt.”"McCain supporters said the flags were discovered by a vendor at Denver’s Invesco Field after the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention. The vendor supposedly found trash bags full of flags in and near garbage bins, and turned them over to the McCain campaign.
Boy Scouts were sorting through 84 bags of flags in Colorado on Saturday, before a McCain supporter had veterans distribute them to the audience.
“We want to find good homes for these flags,” radio host Dan Caplis said at the rally, adding that whatever flags remained would be placed at memorials throughout Colorado.
Audience members, who booed when Caplis announced that the flags were left in Denver, waved the flags and chanted “U.S.A” before McCain arrived at the rally with his running mate, Sarah Palin.
Damon Jones, spokesman for the Democratic National Convention Committee, released a statement saying McCain should applaud the fact that thousands of American flags were “proudly waved” at their convention.
“But instead his supporters wrongfully took leftover bundles of our flags from the stadium to play out a cheap political stunt calling into question our patriotism,” he said.
Obama has faced attacks on his patriotism since the beginning of the Democratic primary race and has set up a Web site specifically designed to fight such charges.
The McCain campaign has denied questioning Obama’s patriotism, and even released a statement Friday calling Obama’s most recent comments on the matter “hysterical.”
Obama said Friday that Republicans are trying to make the election a personality contest, and that “what they’re really saying is ‘we’re going to try to scare people about Barack. So we’re going to say that you know, ‘Maybe he’s got Muslim connections or we’re going to say that, you know, he hangs out with radicals or he’s not patriotic.’”
U.S. Code says the proper method for disposing of an American flag is actually burning, provided it is “no longer a fitting emblem for display.”
The United States Flag Store, which sells full-sized and miniature flags, says on its Web site that flags can also be put in the trash, when they are “worn, damaged or tattered beyond repair.”
