Republicans Recycle Flags Thrown in Trash by Dems

recycled_flags.jpg

Aluminum cans aren't the only thing it actually makes sense to recycle. Remember the piles of American flags that were thrown in the garbage after the Obamessiah coronation? From yesterday's Denver Post:

This morning, Republicans tell me that a worker at Invesco Field in Denver saved thousands of unused flags from the Democratic National Convention that were headed for the garbage. Guerrilla campaigning. They will use these flags at their own event today in Colorado Springs with John McCain and Sarah Palin.
Before McCain speaks today, veterans will haul these garbage bags filled with flags out onto the stage — with dramatic effect, no doubt — and tell the story.
"What you see in the picture I sent you is less than half of total flags," a Republican official emailed. "We estimate the total number to be around 12,000 small flags and one full size 3×5 flag."

Too bad all flags that fall into the hands of Democrats can't be rescued, like the one Obama's longtime friend and associate Bill Ayers got ahold of:

The analogy would be the same if they had handed out thousands of copies of the Constitution of the US to the Dimmoattendants.

The Dimmo party has been working for years to throw the Constitution into the 'trash'.

In my very small world of existence, desecration of the US flag is a ‘thumping’ offense.

They treat babies the same way - throw them in the trash.

But throw one Koran in the trash, where it so richly belongs, and it's on.

Am I the only person who'd love to stuff that flag down Ayers treasonous throat?

I'm not surprised that the MSM has been silent about the 'recycling project'. McCain needs to HAMMER this, mention it in EVERY speech until it gets reported. The Dems shouldn't get a pass on this one.

On an aside, I seem to remember the Texas legislature passing a law several years back (probably shot down by the courts, but...) that made an unarmed physical assault like a punch in the face to someone desecrating the flag a misdemeanor punishable by a $5 fine.

Luv 'em. Got my wad of fivers right here.

Actually, there was an article yesterday, as well as FNC talking head coverage on how the DNC claimed that the RNC had stolen the flags..........

Very weak comeback.

And today, Obama continues to defend himself against the VP choice on the Rep ticket.

Apologies for this additional post - Hot Air and RedState have more details on this.

the DNC claimed that the RNC had stolen the flags..........

And when showed the photographs of flags in garbage bags along with Obama signs and other DNC paraphernalia, the DNC replied... "Um, we'll get back to you."

Jay, no you're not. I'll hold his traitor ass down while you do the stuffing....

Although, if justice be served, I'd say he *deserves* a cowardly bomb in the night, preferably one of his own designs.

I don't remember where I first saw this mentioned, but it bears repeating even if it was here:

Sadly, the only ones outraged are conservatives that uphold the sanctity of flag and country. The libs will defend their traitorous selves by saying it is their right to step on the flag, throw away the flag or kill a baby. Every vet that has ever put on their uniform should support McCain/Palin.

Posted by: Moonbat Inspector General at September 7, 2008 12:09 PM

The MSM mentioned it in passing when they covered the McCain-Palin airport stop. FOXNEWS, I think. They haven't obsessed on it like they do on say, a sex scandal.

Hiram, you're on. I was thinking of doing the honors singlehandedly, but I'm happy to share too.

Posted by: Jay Guevara at September 7, 2008 4:58 PM

And the Democrats are the ones who tell us to save the planet by recycling.

Posted by: James McEnanly at September 7, 2008 5:59 PM

here's the video of the volunteers picking the flags UP off the FLOOR at the dnc, and here's the follow-up vid at fox news on what the rnc did with the flags.

let them deny it all they want.

I'll hold Ayers down so you can make him eat that flag, and I'll cash my next paycheck in all fives so we can enjoy ourselves for a bit.

Im suprised they didnt burn the flags.

Posted by: Anonymous at September 8, 2008 4:44 AM

Bill Ayers better not show his traitorous, treasonous face around me. Because I swear to God I'd kill this pile of verminous shit. That picture of him standing on the flag alone makes me hate this bucket of putrid puss and the piece of crap that took the picture. Fuck them both.

Posted by: Ayman Ibrahim at September 8, 2008 2:40 PM

Throw a UN flag in the trash and have a image of that stink bomb BILL AYERS in your target practice and bulls eye his forehead
