Grant states that Obama modified the American flag to create 'O' flags, and his use of these "Obama flags" indicates his desire to be a dictator. Unfortunately for Bob Grant, he forgot to make sure that the 'O' flag isn't a legitimate flag before he made his ludicrous allegations.

Silly Republican...the flag in question is not an Obama flag...it's the state flag of Ohio.

I can't believe there isn't more backlash against this guy for making such false accusations. He's throwing out allegations that Obama wants to be dictator, and his basis for said allegations is entirely inaccurate.



Media Matters - Radio host Bob Grant asserted that Obama created an " 'O' flag," but apparent flag in question was Ohio's
Well, I'm no Obama fan for sure, but this guy has got to be DUMB!
I've never heard of Bob Grant. Who is he, just a local guy?

I'm no Media Matters fan either, as they are extremely biased and are usually totally wrong in their stories about conservatives, taking things out of context, or just blatant misreporting.

But THIS is good! LOL

The slimeballs in the McCain campaign have probably started another viral email by now to blame Obama for having his own flag.
