This is not the first time our flag has been distorted and co-opted to project Obama as opposed to our country.

It's not about him.
Our flag is distorted for many purposes, from art to political statements... who cares, and what is the point of this thread?

Oh, and considering this was created for an election campaign, it actually IS all about him. Isn't that kind of the point?

I still don't get this whole "Obamabot" stuff you all keep spewing... if somebody supports a candidate, they must be a robot or obsessed? So, are Romney supporters "Romneybots?" I mean, we only have two viable candidates to choose from! Just because somebody likes the other guy, that doesn't make them a mindless sheep.

There you go.

Should not have been.
Many of us care about our flag, sorry you don't.

obamabots are the people stupid enough to desecrate the US flag with the insipid rainbO, which goes far beyond 'supporting.'

let me know when 'romneybots' impose some romneyish icon, which does not exist, onto the US flag, and i will jump on them as well.
is that clear enough for you?

No, not really... especially considering you all have been using that term for months, and this is the first time I've seen this logo. And did you see that Romney button I posted? Not quite the same, but using the Eagle and flag nonetheless.

Your opinion... and I'm sure he's not the first to use American symbolism in a campaign (see above).

It's an image, why should I care? I don't worship symbols, and care only about each candidate's political views - not what some random artist created for their campaign.

I thought he said it was about us? Lol no, I didn't buy that bs either.

He and his staff have a huge ego. I think even his staff fawns over him. This is disrespectful to do, but then again, its the Barack campaign team. Not the first dumb thing they've put out, nor should it shock anyone anymore.

And now I have a question - what's the meaning behind these three stars from the Republican National Convention? Since you care so much about the flag, does this bother you too? (I don't even know the symbolism there, but was wondering anyway)
