Obama Wrapped in Upside-Down Flag
At last a little truth in advertising from the Dems. Check out this ticket design for the Democrat National Convention:
As you can see, the Obamessiah appears to be wrapped in an inverted American flag. Moonbats are fond of hanging Old Glory upside down to display their contempt for it, though according to flag etiquette, this actually symbolizes distress. Either meaning works here.
Obama's come a long way since refusing to wear a flag pin.

No, no, no. We have it all wrong here. It's just a simple misunderstanding. The Osama Obama campaign is here to tell us the Emperor's clothes look wonderful:
Matt Chandler with the Obama campaign says the flag is not upside down. He says it is a stylized flag designed to blend the stars on Senator Obama's shirt with the flag blowing in the wind.
Natalie Wyeth with the Democratic National Convention Committee sent 9NEWS the following statement Saturday night: "The DNCC community credentials incorporate patriotic design elements. They do not depict an actual American flag. The DNCC has full and complete respect for the flag and all rules of display."
Yes. Complete respect. Have you ever witnessed anything to indicate otherwise?
No.
No.
No.
...and this goes on and on, ad nauseum.

Or how about the fact that it's distasteful to use the flag to cover your body, unless of course it is covering the body of one who has fallen.
Dems just don't get it. They probably had patriotic intent with that design, but are just too daft and ignorant to know any better. Frankly, I'm more afraid of those types.

I would have thought that the cuban flag would have been on the back of the card.
Afterall, it was flown proudly in many of obama's campaign offices (and probably still is).

... it's a RACE CARD!

"... it's a RACE CARD!

Ohhh! So THAT'S what a race card looks like!
Slightly off-topic, but my father joined the US Army Signal Corps at the tail-end of World War Two and served under General Moore durring the occupation of Japan. He died early this year and my mother had his burial flag framed and prominently displayed in her house so that whenever someone walks in the front door, their eyes are drawn to the flag.
Sure, "a flag is just a piece of cloth", but it represents so much more! It represents ALL American citizens.
Did you know that each state has it's own star with it's own unique position on the flag?

KHarn - God Speed to your father. One of the greatest generation!
Bless your mother, who understands the pride of what that flag represents. May she find some comfort in its symbolism.

Thank you, Oiao. May you and your family be blessed as well.

“The child on camera should be flawless in image, internal feelings, and expression.” quote from the Director of the Chinese Olympic Show, and just as applicable for the DNC.

Seriously? Is this what you have to fabricate to make it look like democrats are unpatriotic? That is NOT an upside down flag - it is a simple graphic that looks more like a flag as seen from the ground when it is windy - it is not upside down.
It is just a grapic of a normal flag which has been cut off a bit to be more interesting.
Not everyone that disagrees with fear-mongering and conservative thought are unpatriotic. Quite the opposite, usually.
