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.

*sigh* Yet another Republican propaganda non-issue.
Not sure if this is as pathetic as the whole lapel pin incident though.

Yeah I kind of have to agree with invisibleairwaves, the idea is simply ridiculous, if we take the stance that democrats hate america there is no way we will win, in fact we will be laughed at because this is obvious propaganda. If you're going to do propaganda you have to do it in a manner that people do not realize they are being brainwashed.

Ah, the wonders of how rabid politicians are. They can jump on any subject if it gives them the opportunity to bad-mouth their opponent. It gets particullarly funny when in Puerto Rico, when we can have a governor, accused of 23 charges of corruption, bad-mouth his opponent.

Apparently, in Costa Rica, two of the past ex-presidents enjoy lunch toghter in the confines of prison. As for what they were charged with, I'm not really sure what they are.

He didn't rescue the flags, he recycled them. Liberals should be proud
