So, conservatives are upset about the Obama campaign flag shirt

[IfPalinisAnswerWatsQ]

Mike Gallagher on Faux News just accused the Obama campaign of defiling one of our most sacred treasures, the flag.

So if Obama's campaign is full of flag defilers, I have just one question:

When is Romney going to disown Kid Roc?Kid Rock loves him some Mitt Romney, and he's performed at Romney events.

Wearing an actual American flag as a poncho is apparently a-ok, and definitely not disresepctful in any way. Altering the flag's appearance in a pictorial representation, on the other hand, is flag desecration.

Oh, selective outrage. I loves you?

23. Here we go. Freepers desecrate the flag

17. Flag code (aside from ubiquitous lapel pins)

(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.


(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery.


(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform.


Then there's this:

3. I can't believe you directly posted the image of G Felon Liddy

in this thread instead of linking to it. I am scarred for life now, thanks. Good post though.

It gave me a business idea. Conservative porn, tailored to sexually repressed Republican red staters. The movies would always begin with the cast wearing American flag-themed apparel, and "God bless the USA" would play at the end of every movie.

4. What about zz?

zz) The flag can only be draped around Republicans.

6. And don't forget...

the flag should never "be used.... for any decoration in general (exception for coffins)"

2. The Speedo is the best.

Personally, I don't think they really care about when the RW misuses the flag. If they cared then they would be outraged at all the Republicans that drape themselves in it then vote against a jobs bill aimed specifically at helping our returning military personnel to get jobs.

5. But why should we help moocher veterans

get jobs when they refuse to take personal responsibility for their lives? We don't want to reward dependency. Mitt Romney's sons served too, remember. They served the country in 2007-08 by working on their father's campaign, and that's according to the man himself.

7. Romney himself is wearing a flag pin with the f'ing GOP elephant on it.

12. Hmmm - it came up fine in preview

I saved stuff from a thread on Little Green Footballs to my photobucket and tried to copy. Well, here's a link to the LGF thread that has the ammo:
