The McCain campaign was for the flag before it was against it. :grr:
Americablog and Ch.5 in St. Louis report today about the flag flopping on the ground after the McCain rally.
It matters to us because it matters to them. That huge American flag is dragging along the ground in Missouri, yesterday, following a John McCain rally. Let's all recall that John McCain and the Republicans tried to use a phony "flag desecration" story to damage the Democrats following our convention. So, my friends in the media, John McCain has made this story relevant.
If John McCain, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman and the rest of the Republicans are going to walk around boasting about how they're better Americans than Democrats, better Americans than Barack Obama, then their party needs to stop treating the American flag like a used Kleenex. Had Obama done this, there'd be hell to pay. Once again, the Republicans talk a good talk about patriotism, about the flag, but when it comes to their actions, they're always somewhat wanting.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember the Rethugs moaning and such about
Democrats disrespecting the flag just after the convention. Wasn't that a 'false flag' operation? :mad:
Veterans: I'm sure you'll have some pertinent knowledge on how the flag is supposed to be cared for. Please enlighten the McCain campaign on this issue, if you have the time.
