**WARNING:***Obama will change the American Flag if elected!
Edited on Sun Oct-26-08 09:17 AM by 1Hippiechick
Sorry to keep changing, but this link takes one directly to the Bob Grant Show. Plus, I wanted to include the transcript for some who might not be able to access otherwise:

From the October 15 edition of WABC Radio's Bob Grant Show:

http://mediamatters.org/items/200810160022?f=h_latest

Radio host Bob Grant asserted that Obama created an " 'O' flag," but apparent flag in question was Ohio's STATE flag.

Transcript:

GRANT: Let me ask you this question, since you are aware of patriotic symbols. Maybe you don't know the answer. I'll be frank. I don't know the answer to this one, but what is that flag that Obama's been standing in front of that looks like an American flag, but instead of having the field of 50 stars representing the 50 states, there's a circle? Would someone please tell me what that is? Is the circle --

CALLER: Well, I thought it was our new flag.

GRANT: -- the "O" for Obama? Is that what it is?

CALLER: I thought it was our new flag. I thought we now instituted a new one under Obama, because we're going to change everything, and none of it is gonna be positive. And do people's mindset that Palin would be any kind of an adverse person around nuclear weapons, when you have somebody who has absolute deceived everybody from his onset of his life --

GRANT: All right, Sue. I want to thank you very much for your call. It's a pleasure to hear from someone who's paying attention to what's going on out there.

But really folks, did you notice Obama is not content with just having several American flags, plain old American flags with the 50 states represented by 50 stars? He has the "O" flag. And that's what that "O" is. That's what that "O" is. Just like he did with the plane he was using. He had the flag painted over, and the "O" for Obama. Now, these are symptom -- these things are symptomatic of a person who would like to be a potentate -- a dictator. And I really see this in this man.

Hey, I could be wrong. But I wouldn't say this on this great radio station if I didn't think there was some merit in this conjecture. And I stress conjecture. And so much of what we talk about is conjecture, is theory, is opinion based on intuition, based on some facts, based on some history.

I don't want to overdramatize this. Being dramatic, I must confess, does come easy to some of us, because, maybe that's why we're in this business. It is show business, is it not? I know some of my colleagues don't want to admit that, but they are the greatest showmen in the world. And I tell you this. I tell you this quite seriously. I am alarmed at the prospect of his election. I -- I would hope that if he is elected, that I could come before you one day and say, "Hey, there was no need to be alarmed, I was wrong."

Because I care about the United States of America and what future we may have much more than I care about being right or being wrong, having my candidate win or having my candidate lose. I want to know how many of you people think about the significance of the election.

5. Before there was a Limpballs, Hannity, O'Reilly, Savage, et al, there was a Bob Grant
aka Robert Ciro Gigante, who will be 80 next year. I have listened to him on and off, whether on WABC in NY or WOR and now back on WABC again, for almost 30 years. It boggles the mind that his senility has really turned him into an ever more certifiable babbling idiot.

He was yelling "Get off my phone" years before McKKKlan yelled "Get off my lawn" to the cloud. :rofl:

by adding a star for the new state that was formerly known as the District of Columbia!

7. I am left speechless...
I literally cannot think of a thing to say about this, and if I could I'm not certain I'd be able to catch my breath to say it!

9. After you catch your breath, here is the link to the comments....take a deep breath and get ready
to laugh even more. 'the highlight of this item for me, Ol' Ben. Malkin telling "folks" to "relax" about a potential right wing freakout is like Capt. Ahab telling you to stop worrying about that whale.'

12. Thanks. I also went back and responded to one poster w/the link to the comments to that program
when it aired. The truly sad thing is that some of the listeners of that program may have repeated this stupidity over and over to others, never realizing the difference. How STOOPID we must look to the rest of the world! ARGH!

16. OK. Has anyone written the idiot and told him that the flag in

I'll do it. Is an email address available?

17. Obama not only wants to change the flag.
He intends to change the National Anthem! According to a wing-nut on C-Span, "'The bombs bursting in air' is too militaristic for Obama and he is going to make 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing' the new anthem."

Guess she figures maybe he'll salute that one.
