Obama: Wrap Me In An Upside Down Flag

Paganpower has a very sharp eye. Sharper than the eye of the Obama campaign. But then Paganpower is a patriot. You should stop by and say hello since I wouldn’t have even known about this without Paganpower.

Want a ticket to go see The One as he accepts his manipulated nomination?

Are you sure?

Here’s what that ticket looks like.

“Citizen of the World” Obama, wrapped in an upside down American flag.

But he can get away with this. He is, after all, The One. These things only matter when they are done by The One’s adversaries.

Not that most of his young followers would even notice. I recall seeing a comment at a forum once that said, “Patriotism is over-rated”. So no big deal, right? Small stuff compared to The One….

And Barack Obama wonders why people question his Patriotism, right?

You see, an upside down American Flag is said to be a signal of Distress. Seems about right when it comes to this guy. He is an ongoing signal of distress to the United States of America and the democracy it holds dear. Furthermore, it appears that The One’s display of the flag in this manner isn’t even legal. But no big deal. He’s The One.

§176. Respect for flag

No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.

  • (a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
  • (b) The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
  • (c) The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.
  • (d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
  • (e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
  • (f) The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.
  • (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.
  • (h) The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
  • (i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
  • (j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.
  • (k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.

Funny how a candidate and his campaign can be so very detailed in timing the chants of Oooooooooo Baaaaaaaaahhhhh Maaaaaaaaa.

Funny how they can time the I LOVE YOU BARACK! shout from the appropriate place in the crowd, so that Obama might shout I LOVE YOU RIGHT BACK!

Funny how every nuance, every detail that makes Barack Obama look like he is The One is never overlooked.

But they couldn’t figure out that they displayed the American Flag upside down.

Maybe this is just more the the Change We Can Believe In.

Announcement was made while she remains on life support. Not a good prognosis, for sure, but she is not dead as of this moment.

Comment by The Real Hope | 2008-08-20 14:15:40

What the hell is wrong with these news groups???? She is or isn’t dead? How could they say she was DEAD when she wasn’t? STUPID ASSHOLES! Can’t they get something like this right? HOW OUTRAGEOUS!

With reporting like this no wonder we have to brush the MSM off! Jesus Christ!

Comment by Clinton Fan | 2008-08-20 15:14:26

NO. She is still on life support. The Cleveland Plain Dealer is less accurate than the Enquirer.

I think they might be keeping her on life support so family can say farewell, and perhaps sort out donor issues. It doesn’t look like she will recover.

Comment by Jason | 2008-08-20 22:07:28

Are you people dumb? Thats not an upside down flag, its two different flags. Also, that flag code, not a binding law. Ever hear of Texas v. Johnson? Or United States vs. Eichman? Yeah, didn’t think so.

Comment by workingclass artist | 2008-08-21 08:31:49

Ehemmm…..Jason…. Obama is photographed in front of a WRONG American Flag in the famous Opossum Seal photo as well….lol
You folks at the Gaza Indoctrination Ctr. just keep making stupid mistakes.
Good article Uppity. Saddened to hear about Rep. Tubbs-Jones. She was a dedicated servant to the Public Interest. A bright light extinguished to soon for us. My hope is that she didn’t suffer and that may provide some comfort to her family and friends. She obviously was loved and admired by many. She has left an historic legacy in Ohio and her shoes will be hard to fill.

 

Comment by Julie | 2008-08-23 01:30:24

Hey smartass, since your so smart, why havent you fought in other countries like our vets did? Our Flag, (not yours), means more than your brain can grasp to our Vets.

My husband (Navy Veteran) laughed his ass off at this one. Yeah, flying the flag upside down is a well-known distress signal.

Comment by Shainzona | 2008-08-20 13:47:13

I use flag stamps and put them on upside down all of the time…this country is truly in distress if the best we can put up for POTUS are Obama and McCain!

Comment by GrapeApe | 2008-08-20 14:35:23

putting a stamp upside down on an envelope is the signal, “sealed with a kiss”.

To the wizards of the DNC:

Since you are handing out goodies for the homeless in Denver, I was thinking of dressing down and bundling up the grandkids for a trip to the zoo. While I`m there I might as well get a free haircut…….what`s that Hon……Oh yeah and my wife just informed me she wouldn`t mind one of those Spas. Nothing fancy. Just the slap & tickle kind. We don`t need anything fancy to eat… maybe a Happy meal at Mac`s. Looking forward to seeing you all. We won`t bother you as I know there will be a BIG game at Ivesco Field. Me and the young`uns will have rain gear, hope you all do. No need for a limo to meet us at the bus station… any regular taxi will do. Thanks for this and tell your leader to PLEASE PAY for this in advance because I`ve been stuck with his bills before.

Comment by JML | 2008-08-20 12:27:44

Geez, although he bitches and moans about people questioning his patriotism, it’s like he does this stuff on purpose. You can’t tell me the design of these tickets was something left to a low-level intern whose work was never checked before the design went to the printer.

Thus, my only response can be: WTF, Obama, WTF?

The DNC WANTS to lose this election, guys. I mean, there can seriously be no other explanation.

Comment by llilytoo | 2008-08-20 12:54:06

I agree…it’s pretty obvious . It’s a Dem roll over like in congress…just on a bigger scale

 

Comment by Liz B | 2008-08-20 13:32:04

Don’t mean to sound like a hack, but it goes back to George Soros and his billionaire boys club who bought out the DNC and met with Dean and Obama in 2004. This was the only way possible to win either way. My theory is they were afraid the GOP couldn’t possibly be elected again after Ws 8 year reign of terror, so they planted a few well chosen plants in the party…if Obama wins he will continue to protect their interest, and if the GOP wins they go on, business as usual…the one fly in the ointment may be McCain, I don’t think they thought there would be this much backlash over Obama. I truly think with all the media blitz and Hollywood A list endorsements coupled with the extremely low approval ratings of Bush, they thought we would eat up their candidate with a spoon…if you don’t buy my theory consider this, Soros hates Bill Clinton and wanted to see him removed from any influence within the party. Hillary didn’t show any potential a year ago to draw white blue collar males (no offense), MoveOn USED to be an organization that was favorable to the Clintons, in fact it was created for the Clintons, so what did Soros do/ He for all intents and purposes bought the organization and turned it into a weapon to use against the Clintons…yeah, I have too much time on my hands I guess, but I do pay attention to all sides of the political scene and although I’m no Monk I think there is at least a modicum of truth to this.

Comment by bert | 2008-08-20 14:28:23

Does anyone know why Soros hates the Clintons?

Comment by Uppity Woman | 2008-08-20 15:40:09

Because he can’t run them. And because they aren’t interested in Neo Liberal Fascism.

Comment by Darryl | 2008-08-20 12:48:04

I told everyone I know that the press was sitting on all of this untill after the nomination. They think I am crazy right now, but every election, I change the minds of many people around me as the find out that I was right.

This happens EVERY election. You would think that the Democrats would have figured this out already. The Press picks the weaker canidate, makes them seem holier than thou, then a couple of months before the election, they turn like a rabid dog on them.

Its insane to think that reporters and corporate news network executives that make MILLIONS of dollars would actually promote and WANT a liberal in office. LOL give me a break. Then they put that propaganda shit out there saying that the news networds are liberals to create a smoke screen so you can’t see them in the backrooms.

Wake up people.

Comment by wodiej | 2008-08-20 12:50:54

well based on the TOTAL PASS they have given Obama, I can’t think of any other sane reason than the one you gave.

Comment by Darryl | 2008-08-20 12:55:14

well think about it. The press sat on John Kerry’s past untill right before the election. We all knew about his activism during Vietnam, but the press never talked about it. The kept a silent lid on it untill right before the election.

What is going on in Ohio?
State official ends ’sleepover’ practice for voting machines
COLUMBUS — Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner (D) issued a directive Tuesday, Aug. 19, that will end the practice of allowing poll workers to take voting machines home overnight in the days leading to Election Day.
That’s right: poll workers in 20 counties had been taking voting machines home — a practice quaintly referred to as “sleepovers.

http://www.daytondailynews.com/localnews/content/oh/story/news/local/2008/08/20/ddn082008sleepover.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=16
Of Note: The Ohio Supreme Court Thursday denied a request by Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner to seal her videotaped deposition in a case filed by the Summit County Republican Party. (Not sure what this is about) Any Ohioans that can ad to this?

starkpolitics.blogspot.com/2008/03/jennifer-b…

Stark Politics is actively looking for news tips on this election. Just follow the above link and look on the right side for that link.

Then we have this:
Ohio voting law may be a boon for Obama supporters

Ohio has created a window in the election calendar that would allow residents instant gratification — register one minutThe move will benefit Obama, who enjoys a 2-to-1 lead over McCain among 18- to 34-year-olds, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll released last month. If Obama’s campaign were able to tap into college campuses with one-stop voting, it would add thousands of votes to his tally .

Yeh, the news is ablaze tonight with comments about Hillary and they all sounded like they were choking on them like it was really hard for them to “eat their words.” It is only going to get better in the next few days. They think they had this election pegged but I think they are starting to believe that only Hillary and her supporters can make the difference and believe me, we are! It’s not over til it’s over as they say.

Comment by missE | 2008-08-20 12:32:57

(b) The flag should never touch anything beneath it,

And if I might add, standing on it, like Bill Ayers for example.

Comment by Tricia Spiegel | 2008-08-20 14:30:01

Yes, MissE–I was thinking the same thing. The image of Obama’s good buddy, Bill Ayers standing on the flag, came immediately to mind.

What a pair!

 
 

Comment by roseeriter | 2008-08-20 12:33:08

Prepare for phony press releases for Obama (because these supporters are not happy with Obama and his campaign at the moment.)

This is funny. The progressives have to PROP Obama up too.

So, in interests of DOING something instead of just complaining about it, Slink and I are launching a new project: creating our own unofficial press releases and talking points (changed from earlier)

Just on Fox News … 3 Journalist - one being Bob Beckel are saying they believe it will be Hillary for VP!!!! They ar saying that is the only way he can win this. If he had a bigger lead over McCain - then probably not, but if he wants to win this election … It has to be Hillary!!

Comment by Darryl | 2008-08-20 12:39:45

He won’t pick Hillary. The people who voted for Obama in the first place did so because they were either ignorant or hatefull towards Hillary, or they just thought it would be cool to have a black president.

I still think he is going to pick Deval Patrick. It would be a PERFECT opportunity to scream racist once more, as people ask him why he is picking another mixed canidate instead of a white one.

Comment by Mickey | 2008-08-20 12:58:01

no, idiot. MICHELLE hates the clintons. Snce she’s got Soetoro’s balls in a vice, she won’t ever let HRC on the ticket, even if it means losing. That’s what false pride and arrogance does to you.

Comment by eurogirl70 | 2008-08-20 15:31:42

Oh so it was Hillary who went negative was it dear Kelvin?

Who won the Iowa caucus and took the stage to the strains of Jay’Z’s song “99 problems” right when the song says: “I’ve got 99 problems but a bitch aint one.”?

Who had his toady Donna Brazile go on national TV to claim that Bill Clinton called Obama’s campaign a “fairytale” when that is not what he said?

Who had his toady, former AA Virginia Governor Douglas Wilder, go out and say that women are not “cut out” to be President?

Who had his toady Jesse Jackson Jr III say that there is no way for a black man to argue against a “white woman”?

Who had his toady Jesse Jackson Jr III go out after the New Hampshire primary and say: Hillary cried before the primary but did she cry after Katrina? [ A side note there dear Kelvin. Obama and his wife have given NOTHING to any charity affiliated with Katria or the Gulf Coast. NOTHING. Nor did he attend the State of the Black Union, nor did he attend MLK Jr's memorial!]

Take your “negativity” and “F-off. Obama supporters like you must be shitting a brick right now with the state of this idiot’s candidacy!

Comment by Stacy The Republican | 2008-08-20 16:52:02

Funny, half the reason I’ve grown fond of Senator Clinton is because of how she handled the primaries. She softened my heart when she did the interview with O’Reilly. BO doesn’t have the balls to go on O’Reilly; and he wants the most important job in the world? Pleeezzz.

 
 

Comment by Clinton Fan | 2008-08-20 16:34:48

Bullshit.

That’s why you use all that misogynistic language against her.

That’s why Obama played “99 Problems But a Bitch Ain’t One of ‘Em.”

That’s why he flipped the bird.

Take your hate elsewhere. Your pathetic little protests are unconvincing, and demonstrate your abject fear that the whole mess–and it is that–is unravelling right before your eyes.

You’re an idiot, and so are your cultist pals. You’ve fucked up the Democratic Party, perhaps irretrievably. Hope that shit keeps you warm at night, jerks.

Check the polls on the way out the door (which if you move swiftly enough, won’t hit you on your flabby ass)…that crabby old Republican bastard is spanking your snobby, snotty Closet Republican candidate. If Hillary were running, she’d have wiped the floor with the McCain by now.

We will remember in November. And we’ll blame you in January.

They sure do come up with doozy excuses - must have a comedy writer on staff.

I believe they said something to the effect that it was literary license and it isn’t the flag. The stars were part of his shirt.

Comment by wodiej | 2008-08-20 12:57:49

it sure as hell looks like a flag to me. So they apparently really mulled over how to disgrace the American flag wo getting into trouble. WHY would you do that anyway?? Patriotism is over rated? Do students not have to study History in school anymore?? The sole principle of this country is FREEDOM. Thousands of patriotic Americans past and present, have fought and died for that including the stupid little Obamamites.

 

Comment by sowsear | 2008-08-20 14:55:44

The reverse image (it’s a holograph) of the ticket does not show BO or his shirt.
This is just one more sign that he disrepects the flag and what it stands for. One spokesman did say it was a flag but was just unfurling in the wind???
If so, and assuming it was displayed correctly, how does the blue field blow in the wind in that manner?

 

Comment by Uppity Woman | 2008-08-20 15:46:40

Somebody else said it was supposed to be a hologram when you turned it. Barky at one turn, the flag at the other.

Obama as a hologram. How appropriate.

 

Comment by Clinton Fan | 2008-08-20 17:36:48

You aren’t supposed to WEAR the flag either. And that is what he seems to be doing.

OR, as Bush does, use it as a decorative device or in lieu of bunting. Fifty flags on a stage? Flag Etiquette NO NO.

Bush does it anyway–it’s stupid.

ONE FLAG. Just ONE. That’s all that’s needed. If you need more Red, White and Blue, you use bunting.

The people saying that this pass with Obama on it is just “representational” of the flag are full of crap. There is another category of pass, probably for the people with less exclusive access, without Obama’s mug on it, that is more flag like…and has the blue field IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE.

This is not the end of the world. No one gets “punished” for improper flag display (at least in the civilian community). What this does point out, though–to paraphrase a certain rap song Obama likes–he’s got

“300 Advisors and A Competent Worker Ain’t One of ‘Em.”

How hard is it to google flag display, really? This isn’t the seventies, when campaign staffers had to go to ….LIBRARIES!!!! And search through….BOOKS….to find the ANSWERS!!! And then, feeding five cent coins into the machine, XEROX the applicable pages to bring back to the campaign HQ! No, this would have taken pulling up google and typing FLAG DISPLAY.

Idiot-Easy. Yet they couldn’t manage it.

This man’s “powers of delegation” are even worse than his judgment or ability to lead.

He simply…..SUCKS.

Hey, I just heard Obama on CNN. He was speaking in Virginia.

He told the audience we have 48 states in the continental United States! WOW!

Last time he said he had traveled to 57 states. And that he had been to all but one of the states.

He has apparently brushed up on his geography and now he is making sure we know about it!

Comment by College Educated for Hillary | 2008-08-20 13:07:10

This is actually true. The continental United States refers to the mainland which doesn’t include Alaska (49th state) and Hawaii (50th state).

Comment by typical.white.person | 2008-08-20 13:18:04

Soetoro’s Obama’s own words:

SEN. BARACK OBAMA (D), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: So, people ask me, they say, well, what have you learned about America? As you’ve traveled through the 48 states in the continental United States? What have you discovered? And I’ve said, well, number one, America’s big. When you got to travel through all of it, you realize what a magnificent piece of real estate we have here, the United States of America. From sea to shining sea, it is full of beauty and grander and it just makes you proud and realize how fortunate we are to be here.

A brother of New York Sen. Hillary Clinton and local Democrats who backed her unsuccessful presidential campaign socialized privately Monday with a top surrogate of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain.

The private gathering featured Carly Fiorina, Mr. McCain’s top economic adviser, and took place at the Dunmore home of political consultant Jamie Brazil, a longtime friend of Mrs. Clinton’s family who has signed on as paid national director of Mr. McCain’s Citizens for McCain Coalition.

Look closely … can anyone see Bill Ayers’s footprints on the flag?
Maybe it’s the same flag he so proudly stomped on. For Comrade O,
the flag-stomping is more symbolic. The image on this ticket is no faux pas.

It will be the Obama administration’s mission to destroy everything this flag represents. The evidence is overwhelming.

McCain takes 5-point lead over Obama

WASHINGTON - In a sharp turnaround, Republican John McCain has opened a 5-point lead on Democrat Barack Obama in the U.S. presidential race and is seen as a stronger manager of the economy, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.

McCain leads Obama among likely U.S. voters by 46 percent to 41 percent, wiping out Obama’s solid 7-point advantage in July and taking his first lead in the monthly Reuters/Zogby poll.

The reversal follows a month of attacks by McCain, who has questioned Obama’s experience, criticized his opposition to most new offshore oil drilling and mocked his overseas trip.

IN CONTRAST — IWO JIMA — COMES TO MIND. I would dearly love to have seen Obama in the USMC as it was then. And now he shows his OUTRAGE toward anyone who would question his patriotism, or as he said on national TV “My Love For This Nation”. The American flag is no more than a rag to Obama and his Obamacans. And to think so many Americans have sworn an oath and even died to defend this nation against all enemies both foriegn and domestic UNDER THAT VERY SAME FLAG.

Sorry, doesn’t work. Stomp your foot again, why don’t you? Make another lame remark that you need, desperately, to believe is “witty.”

I think it is very symbolic. He has no respect for the law. If he did, he wouldn’t have taken kickbacks from criminals. He has no respect for the Constitution. If he did, he would respect the people’s right to choose their representatives and not have gamed the primary. The kind of change he’s hoping for will destroy our country… so turning the flag upside down is indeed very fitting.

 

Comment by Nurseratchet | 2008-08-20 13:32:22

THE MAN IS AN IDIOT……..A DANGEROUS IDIOT! “Barack Obama now has cited the Nuremberg trials after the Second World War as a model of the way Osama bin Laden should be tried in the (unlikely) event he’s ever taken alive. He recommends Nuremberg as an example to follow because, he says, those trials embodied universal legal principles. The Nuremberg trials a model of international law? Those stone-faced judges in Red Army uniforms peering down from the bench at Nuremberg, shoulder boards in place and guilty verdicts at the ready, must have been there as representatives of Comrade Stalin’s well-known devotion to universally accepted legal principles. This is not to say that the judges at Nuremberg couldn’t demonstrate exquisite tact. For example, not a one noted the Soviets’ responsibility for the Katyn Massacre, a war crime none dared accuse them of at the time. In 1946, the Soviets were still Our Fighting Russian Allies. And so the mass execution of the Polish army’s officer corps in the Katyn forest was pinned on the Nazis, who were conveniently at hand. What would one more war crime matter in a record already so monstrous? Nor did any of the judges at Nuremberg make much of the infamous Nazi-Soviet Pact that precipitated the whole, bloody cataclysm that was the Second World War. That alliance between fellow dictators was simply tossed down the memory hole. It became a non-event. At Nuremberg, the Soviet Union was invited to sit in judgment of its old partner in aggression—on a charge of waging aggressive war. To wit, the war of aggression that the Soviet Union joined with Nazi Germany to ignite in September of 1939. Barack Obama would have been on sounder ground if he had cited the proceedings at Nuremberg not as an example of justice but irony. You have to wonder if anybody remembers any history any more. Barack Obama doesn’t seem to. The unthinking simply assume, as Sen. Obama does, that Nuremberg was some kind of model of justice. Hey, the Nazi leaders were hanged, weren’t they?” —Paul Greenberg

I just went to the site, I see a field of white stars on blue ground, no red and white stripes.
This suggests that the flag is either folded or somehow furled behind him, but I don’t see and stripes to the upper right.

However if you produce a link to a similar upside down flag on McCain’s site, I will send him a directive to correct the error with my next donation to his campaign.

Comment by dg | 2008-08-20 14:17:15

You don’t see the blue/white stripes that are directly to the right of McCain’s head-shot? With the stars to his left?

Interesting.

“However if you produce a link to a similar upside down flag on McCain’s site, I will send him a directive to correct the error with my next donation to his campaign.”

Will you also initiate a thread in here titled “McCain: Wrap Me in an Upside Down Flag”?

Or is selective outrage the rule in this forum?

Comment by WMCB | 2008-08-20 14:31:33

Oh, please. The flag to McCain’s left is an actual flag on a pole behind him, in the photo of him. It is entirely unrelated to the rest of the graphics on the page.

dg, please, recess is over so go back to class. Dude, that flag in the photo with McCain is an actual flag fluttering like WMCB stated. It wasn’t photoshop’ed to be draped around his shoulder like a king’s cloak you idiot!

Comment by ziggy | 2008-08-20 15:07:35

Obama isn’t shown with a flag drapped around his shoulders. His photo is floating in space, above the red, white and blue background.

The image shown up above is only a single-angle view of a double-view, 3D picture. Seen from one angle, you’ve got a decorative red, white and blue background of stars-and-stripes bunting, with a “change” message floating in space over the background to the right. When you shift the ticket to view the other angle, the “change” message vanishes, and you’ve got Obama’s face in profile to the left, floating in space over the same background.

You can see what both views of the lenticular image on the ticket look like here:

I see that the standard operating procedure around these parts is to resort to child-like taunts and infantile insults.

The point is — both images — Obama’s and McCain’s — portray the **perception** of an upside-down flag.

Sorry, I took a little more time reviewing the header of that webpage, and I see no blue and white stripes, in fact nothing that matches or even resembles the fabric on the field of stars I previously referenced.

I used to work as an art director. If my head designer had come to me with a description of that image being one of an upside down American flag, I would have come to the conclusion that she was hitting the peyote button once again.

However, if this is what it takes to assist you in Owning Your Shitty Candidate, by all means, represent that it is an upside down American flag. With blue and white stripes.

Comment by dg | 2008-08-20 16:41:11

“Play much “where’s Waldo” or the drawing where if you squint you see stuff? ”

Nope, but thanks for the continued distraction of pointless insults. Despite the fact that others here _have_ recognized what’s right in front of their eyes.

“You are trying to make this “John McCain, too.” It’s not.”

How can it be otherwise? If there’s a perceived image of an upside-down flag associated with Obama, that’s bad. But if there’s a perceived image of an upside-down flag associated with McCain, that’s off-base. I think I have it now.

“We know that John McCain served his country. We don’t even know whether Soretoes signed up for the selective service. Do you?”

This is what consumes your time? Wondering about non-events that have utterly no bearing on issues paramount to today?

Obama makes the upside down flag to be his backdrop, the DNC had admitted the flag was used intentionally to blend as Obama’s shirt, (and was meant to imply patriotism)

just like he wanted Brandenburg Gate to be his backdrop,

just like he used the troops in Iraq as backdrop cheerleaders to his b-ball game photo op,

just like he used Andrea Merkel as a backdrop trying to gain some credibility…etc, etc

Its not intentional disrespect just plain inexperience…

he and his people don’t know the value of anything…not the Brandenburg gate, not foreign rulers time and need to retain credibilty with their people, not the people funding your campaign (we need the checks not the people)

I notice McCain has recently added a background image of wind turbine generators to his webpages. I suppose that’s supposed to suggest that Exxon John actually has a comprehensive alternative energy plan now?

If he were honest he’d be showing us a background picture of an offshore drilling rig and an oil spill.

The big orange moron is in full meltdown.

First, there’s a post by markos himself, calming down his wimps and telling them it’s “just a zogby poll” - reassuring them with the GREAT NEWS that some other polls have bambi up by 2 - a whole 2! Tsk tsk tsk!

Then there’s another diary titled something like “The Sky isn’t Falling!” and calling everybody who sees the writing on the wall “chicken littles.” Ha ha!

On a creepier note, the original unhinged one, Keith Olbermann, posted a diary for his only fans, to inform them that Rachel Maddow has been given her own show on MSNBC - maybe trying to tamp down the misogyny accusations?

Comment by Hope | 2008-08-20 14:03:03

maybe trying to tamp down the misogyny accusations?

She’s been just as guilty of it herself.

Comment by Jim | 2008-08-20 14:07:09

Right. The lesbian feminist is guilty of misogyny. Face it, criticizing HRC is not criticizing all women. In fact, saying so is the worst sort of homogenization of an entire gender.

She lost because she ran a bad campaign. Doesn’t mean she’s a bad person. Get over it.

Comment by Jim (Obama paid someone to impersonate me) | 2008-08-20 20:11:13

Take a hike, bot. Telling you to eat shit is like telling shit to eat shit.

Criticizing Hillary IS like criticizing all women. Because the insults disguised as criticism were misogynistic and for any so-called woman to endorse that type of behavior is also misogynistic.

And any woman who engages in misogyny effectively turned in their female membership card. I don’t expect a fool like you to understand, since the only woman you and the other shallow, college-age retards would vote for is an 18 year-old supermodel.

This looks like one of those trick lenticular images that shift with your angle of view. From one angle you’ve got the stars and stripes background; from another you’ve got Obama’s profile superimposed over it:

http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/08/sign-of-distress-obamas-invesco-tickets.html

What common image does the floating profile of Obama’s face remind you of? (Hint: Get a dime out of your pocket.)

Whoever designed the ticket is either a republican plant or a complete idiot. The damn thing looks totally vainglorious.

It might have worked better for those of us who remember the ’60s if Obama was wearing a Jimi Hendrix wig.

 

Comment by Jennifer | 2008-08-20 14:04:58

I’m questionning whether Stephanie Tubbs Jones actually has an aneurysm. Think about this. Back in January a person stormed Hill’s NH hq and held people hostage. Then in Indiana her campaign hq caught on fire and burned. Last Friday the Arkansas DNC chairman was murdered. Diane Feinstein broke her ankle and won’t go to the convention. Hillary’s delegates and supporters are being replaced and threatened. And now STJ. Obama, the DNC, and George Soros have to behind this. It is very similar to what happened with Odinga in Kenya. We HAVE to take them down. Everyone contact Hillary, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and tell them what we think and that they need to release any info on Obama now to bring him down. We have to stick together on this.

Comment by Mary Cusack | 2008-08-20 14:21:37

I agree. I wouldn’t put anything past this dictator. He will stop at nothing. I say she was murdered

Well, I think it’s far more than coincidence that this bad karma, bad energy,bad mojo or whatever is permeating this campaign season. Russert, Kennedy, Novak,the DNC chairman,Tubbs, Feinstein, okay they just keep happening. Those that said ‘Give us Barack’ have released some pretty powerful bad vibes out there. 8 years of Ma Bush’s boy and now we’ve entered the ninth circle of hell with BO.

Comment by Jim | 2008-08-20 16:39:10

In other words, no, they aren’t kidding. NQ has arrived. They are accusing BO of murder. Congrats, you’re batshit crazy!

Comment by Jim (Obama paid someone to impersonate me) | 2008-08-20 20:17:22

In other words: you are a lying asshole. Dailykos has arrived. You happily accused the Clintons of murder during the primaries, so what goes around comes around.

You’d rather it be a case of bad luck or a curse, then? Are you brain-damaged, too? If he’s cursed, then so will everyone else be if he’s president. That includes YOU. Then again, rarely do murders admit they murdered people.

I don’t know about Larry, Franny, but I would be happy to accommodate you as soon as you or your master answer all the questions asked of him on this site. It seems to me he hasn’t answered an effing one of them. Not an effing one.

His campaign is D.O.A. to the general election if the Super Delegates don’t come to their senses and make Hillary the nominee. The Republicans are so giddy with delight that the DNC has fugged up yet another one, they don’t know what to do with themselves. I’m disgusted.

Adults don’t play with toys, man-child. If the media did their job and reported all the bullshit you corrupt assholes were pulling at caucuses and primaries, we’d have stepped up sooner. Silly for us to think other Democrats would never work with Republicans to beat the Clintons and get the new corporate puppet into the Dem nomination slot.

You honestly thought the media was working for the people when they praised Obama? LOL it’s crazy how easily corporations can manipulate today’s youth. Barack tells you what you wanted to hear and suddenly you became his militant little cult.

The media spent 16 years bashing the Clintons and praising Bush, and suddenly you think they saw the light and are fighting for the people’s candidate? Ha. Hillary was the closest thing to that who could actually win, and there were others who weren’t as popular like Biden and (Heh) Edwards. Unless you’re one of those cross-overs from Ron Paul? That would explain why you act like Repubs.

Is it a “kid” or a brave man and woman who volunteers to serve a cause greater than themselves and put themselves at mortal risk?

Comment by ziggy | 2008-08-20 15:46:03

Obama supports veterans by voting for increased VA medical funding and for the 2008 GI Bill. He has always voted in support of active duty troops.

McCain has repeatedly voted against VA medical funding. His votes have repeatedly ignored active military personnel care and safety. He strongly opposed the 2008 GI Bill, and then dodged criticism in an election year by not even showing up to vote on it.

As with so much else, McCain’s support of vets and the troops is more talk than reality. His voting record tells the real tale:

Obama is not draped in an upside-down flag. He’s not wearing a blue rodeo shirt with big white stars, either.

The image shown up above is only a single-angle view of a double-view picture. Seen from one angle, you’ve got a decorative red, white and blue background of stars-and-stripes bunting, with a “change” message floating in space over the background to the right. When you shift the ticket to view the other angle, the “change” message vanishes, and you’ve got Obama’s face in profile, floating in space over the same background to the left.

You can see what both views of the lenticular image on the ticket look like here:

Ya think he’s trying too hard????
YEP!

Be afraid…be very afraid.

Comment by ziggy | 2008-08-20 16:04:29

Did you read the top post and look at the look at both of the images? Can you figure so basic a thing out?

Like everything else around here, your “Obama wrapped in the flag” crap is a matter of distorting reality by refusing to look at it from more than a single, narrow, distorting angle. The “wrapped in the flag” story is a metaphore for the limited, distorting views you take of everything.

What I’m afraid for is the fate of my country, in a time where people are increasingly ignorant of fact, dismissive of rational argument, filled with irrational hatred, and willing to blindly embrace any politican who is able to punch a few buttons that make them predictably respond. I’m afraid that people aren’t thinking for themselves because they no longer know how to do it.

You really don’t see which candidate is actually wrapping himself in the flag? And wrapping himself in religion? And telling you all of the same old tales they always tell you before every election? Is that all flying right over your head?

Comment by harvey | 2008-08-20 15:04:43

Respect for the American flag at sunset or a passing away.
The first fold is a symbol of life.
The second fold is the symbol of our belief in the eternal life.
The third fold is in honor and rememberance of the veteran departing our ranks who gave all or a portion of of life for the defense of our country to attain a peace throughout the world.
The fourth fold represents our weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to him we turnn in times of peace as well as in times of war for his divine guidance.
The fifth fold is a tribute to our country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, Our country in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is always our country, right or wrong.
The sixth fold is for where our hearts lie. It is with our hearts we pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, with liberty and justice for all.
The seventh fold is a tribute to our armed forces, for it is through our armed forces that we protect our country and our flag against all enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of our republic.
The eighth fold is in tribute to the one who entered in to the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day, and to honor MOTHER, for whom it flies on mother’s day.
The ninth fold is a tribute to WOMANHOOD; for it has been through their faith, love, loyalty and devotion that the character of men and women who have made this country great have been molded.
The tenth fold is a tribute to father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of our country since they were first born.
The eleventh fold, in the eyes of a Hebrew citizen , represents the seal of King David and King Solomon, and glorifies, in their eyes, the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob.
The twelfth fold, in the eyes of a christian citizen , represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father, the Son, and the Holy spirit.
When the flag is completely folded the stars are uppermost reminding us of our motto “In God We Trust”.
Recognized as the form for the flag folding ceremony of the American Armed Services.

Not to mention planting rude posts, posing as NQ folks, when we know they aren’t and oh the tricks go on. How about if you spent as much time on supporting your candidate, you know go volunteer, instead of the continuous bs that has only worked to make sure many of us will vote anything but democrat. If you are the representation, and we are so bad, so racist so republican, soooo bitter, and so forth, what really is your point? It is only to insult and push the o propaganda, and it really is transparent, and has been for awhile.

The only thing I’d change in your article is that I don’t think Barack yells “I love you right back.”
I think he shouts, “I love me too.”

Barack Obama’s arrogance is beyond repulsive.
