The media is making a big deal of the protests in other parts of the world....but that's been going on for a while - see Greece.

Shouldn't be a shock...Iwould imagine Obama supports them even MORE now. Maybe gave that dope a standing O when he saw it on the news.

Disrespectful...irresponsible...clueless.....misgu ided...uninformed. That is what describes the majority of the wallstreeters.

That's your take on it? After you must have seen and heard all the anti-Us, anti-capitalism tripe from this bunch of losers?

Oh, I imagine if these were America-loving protesters, like the TP, someone would pick up the flag, don't you think?

Maybe Reuters/Yahoo news were fooled, as they watched the protesters trample on the flag.

1. That is not a U.S. flag. Look again, without the knee-jerk response.

2. You cannot infer from that what the person was thinking or meant by it. It could mean a number of things, but by all means please apply the meaning you want.

3. The Tea Party wouldn't trample a flag, they prefer to trample dissenters themselves.

I for one am very unhappy with what our nation has become. Does that mean I hate America? Some would say so.

If you think walking on a flag is wrong, don't do it. But if someone else does it, how and why does that impact you? If I was in a position to do so, I wouldn't care whether I walked on a flag. My country is strong enough to tolerate a few footprints and a symbol IS just a symbol. Move along. Next.

But my how quickly people twist this into us vs. them thinking like in post 4. Why are there so many people for whom the creation of an enemy is a near daily occurrence? It's a difference of opinion, not a deliberate act of war.
