Story about American flags dumped at Democratic convention FAKE. Came from Fox News and McCain camp
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/214283.php


According to a article just out from Huffington Post, the story about flags from the Democratic National Convention being thrown away is simply false. The story was jumped on and apparently authored by the McCain campaign. But the real tell is down in the Huffpo piece where it traces the story to none other than Fox News' Carl Cameron.



Surprised?

1. Ya know what? I wouldn't care if it were true
The flag used to symbolize something great, something we could truly be proud of. Now in the eyes of the rest of the world it stands for greed, militarism, torture, and corporate colonialism.

It needs an image makeover.
