It's all to do with appearances for the obama campaign, regardless if they denigrate American symbols. The presidential seal, now the flag.

We need to deport his traitor butt. He is not for America for would not allow this crap to go on.

I saw this myself last night and felt he should have it changed and apologize to the American people.

Come on, he ok'd this wrongful and anti American crap and he should have it changed or move out of our country.

Then the gutless coward runs around whining about McCain is saying he is not an American patriot.

Well Barry, you are not, you are not a real American, you are a traitor and you should be deported for your traitor anti American ideals and ways.

It should be ashamed of himself and his supporters should demand it be changed.

Ohh yea, CHANGE.... He will change America to the worst forever and turn us into a third world country.

He hates America and we all know it. He doesn't deserve to even be using my flag in any of his anti American line of crap.

What will he change next, our name.

You people had better wake up. This man is up to no good.

So Obama broke the laws and no one is doing anything about it. Arrest and deport the moron.

If people cannot see this flag being used in a negative way and upside down then you are not smart enough to vote.

Default Sideways vs. ACTUAL VIOLATIONS

This is a distressed U.S. flag:



The badge is not.

How about some real disrespect of our nation's flag?

January 2008, John McCain autographed a flag for a supporter at a January rally in Keene, N.H. In 2003, President Bush autographed a small flag (see next), which created a stir online. Flag Code: "The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature."

In July 2003 President Bush autographed a small flag. This picture was circulated across the Internet noting its violation of the Flag Code: "The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature."

September 11, 2006, President Bush and first lady Laura Bush stand on a carpet of the American flag at Ground Zero in Manhattan, the site of the September 11, 2001 attack. Section 8b of the Flag Code reads, " The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground..."

Good post! I disagree with McCain dramatically more than Obama, and I find Obama personally likeable. But I would have felt much more comfortable if this was a Romney vs. Richardson race. I can stomach either one of them despite any disagreements I have. I think a minimal of 40% of Americans are going to go immediately puke no matter who wins this election. Divided we fall? Afraid so.

In response to SC:

We need to deport his traitor butt. He is not for America for would not allow this crap to go on.

What crap?

Come on, he ok'd this wrongful and anti American crap and he should have it changed or move out of our country.

Did he? Did he really ok this design? Please post a link, a FULL unedited article, a FULL unedited soundbyte, ANYTHING that proves he approved this design. If you can provide that, I stand corrected.


Well Barry, you are not, you are not a real American, you are a traitor and you should be deported for your traitor anti American ideals and ways.

What traitorous actions did he do or words did he speak? And why do you call him Barry?

It should be ashamed of himself and his supporters should demand it be changed.

Why should he be ashamed, what did he do again?


He hates America and we all know it. He doesn't deserve to even be using my flag in any of his anti American line of crap.

That flag is not owned by you.


So Obama broke the laws and no one is doing anything about it. Arrest and deport the moron.

What laws did he break again?

For someone who would not put a flag on his lapel he sure likes the flag now,
he uses it every change he gets, I am sure the vets that fought for the flag will love him for it.
My dad fought in WW11 and he loved the flag, my Mother has the flag that was put on his casket when he died. He would be appauled.

Honestly, anyone who lived before 1950 would be appauled at what we have become as a nation, the flag thing would be a minor annoyance.
