Obama will jail you if you burn a Koran publicly but if you burn a flag our flag thats just free speech. Liberals you have it all figured out. And I though you were all dumb asshats. Wow was I wrong.

I truly pity anyone who actually believes such complete and utter nonsense. If you really do, you should get new sources of - ahem - 'information'.
Personally, I couldn't care less when someone burns a flag (or a Koran), though I do not support being offensive purely for the sake of causing offense. But the fact that I don't support it doesn't mean I want to see it banned.
PS:
Flag-burning is protected speech due to Texas v. Johnson (1989), the United States Supreme Court decision which established it as such. The recently-departed Justice Scalia was part of the majority in the case.
PPS:
Too bad C-D doesn't give a daily Most Ironic award - your disparaging of others as 'dumb asshats' would probably win.
Protest is protected as free speech. You have no right to avoid offense.
I don't care what the courts have said. I disagree with MANY of their rulings.
The Constitution says, "Freedom of SPEECH"
Burning a flag is NOT "speech" it is an ACTION.
Protest is an ACTION marching/sit ins, etc. as a group to show displeasure in something, "Freedom of Assembly"
I find it funny how many liberals are OK with bringing down the "Confederate battle flag", free speech be damned yet, are OK with burning the U.S flag.
The word "hypocrites" comes to mind.
Kinda' like, "It depends on what the "meaning" of the word is, is.
If you DON'T know, you shouldn't ask such stupid questions.
It does NOT reflect well on you!
It's a piece of cloth.
Exactly which religion venerates the flag as a holy object? And why should that religion have the power to make the rest of us venerate it as a holy object?
Why should you be mad @ someone Scotty just because they may be more awake of things and express thier views by doing so??
No one has a right to stop someone else from expression.....
