I'd set them on fire and throw Palin and McCain into the conflagration.

I'm so glad the republicans found a real issue about something that affects our daily lives.

I thought recycling and conserving resources was something that affects our daily lives.

right; that's why the Republicans are concerned only with flags, which cannot be recycled. :roll:

Still, wasteful here, wasteful with our tax dollars.

Corporate funds paid for roughly 75% of non-security costs of the convention.

How much does a small american flag cost when you buy them in amounts of dozens of thousands? A few dollars, probably, as I could find similar, single flags for around 10 bucks in the internet and the prize tag always drops down considerably when you buy any item in thousands. And taxpayers paid 1/4 of that.

No matter how you spin it, this is indeed a great example of the Rebs finding a REAL issue to talk about. Democratic convention wasted THOUSANDS of dollars of taxpayers money!

Probably the first time ever in american politics, and certainly Rebs have never wasted such massive sums of money.

But then again, the dumber the Republicans play it and the more they try to insult the intelligence of their voters, the more some people seem to eat from their hands.

Obviously they are all from Cuba.

Hey, guess what? Turns out IT'S A LIE. From the party that brought you Richard Nixon's dirty tricks...

The party had them all wrapped up and ready to be taken to another event. You note from the picture first posted that they seem quite nicely arranged for something that was going to be thrown away. They were in bags for transport safely.

According to Republicans, if you don't march in lock step with Bush and his war on terror, you hate America. Fuck them and their ideas of what patriotism is supposed to be.

I'm sure apologies will be forthcoming momentarily.

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.”

I’m not sure what the DNC was supposed to do with unused hand-flags, frankly. But the Republicans are obviously questioning someone’s patriotism here.

Are you as independent as you claim to be? You're always very gleeful when posting this kind of tripe. :whistle:

My dream's shattered. I apologize for believing this story. Now that I know it was a fake I will be voting for Obama.

Whistle dixie all night long little one. No one was complaining when I posted that Sarah Palin had an affair while in office. Or John Edwards.

I'm an equal opportunity hater. Just seems whenever the almighty messiah is involved, people get riled up. :funny:

Jingoism is a sensitive issue for me; affairs are not. The former is fascism; the latter is hormones. This flag story is purportedly about the DNC hating America, not about Obama, and it's offensive to me. Get a clue.
