Democrats are not caring for their Stars and Stripes. At least that’s the message out of John McCain’s campaign.

McCain supporters, claiming they rescued 12,000 miniature American flags from the site of Barack Obama’s nomination acceptance speech last Thursday, redistributed the orphan flags to audience members ahead of a McCain rally in Colorado Springs on Saturday.

The move was an overt swipe at Obama from a campaign whose motto has been “country first.” But Democratic convention organizers claimed the flags were not going to be discarded — but instead were snatched from the site of Obama’s historic address to carry out a “cheap political stunt.”

McCain supporters said the flags were discovered by a vendor at Denver’s Invesco Field after the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention. The vendor supposedly found trash bags full of flags in and near garbage bins, and turned them over to the McCain campaign.

  • The zealots on the right love this kind of thing. We've seen it already with the lapel pin and pledge "controversies".

    Does anyone really think that every representation of the American flag is disposed of properly?

    Good to see they are so concerned with small flag replicas.

    They won't get off their ass to help the poor and hungry in their own towns. But yeah, let's rescue some flags:rolleyes:

  • What petty assholes.

    With all the real problems in the US, this is an issue? I mean, at what point does the average American ask: Are they insulting my intelligence?

    That was back in 1980 for me. Can't speak for anyone else.

    How do know that? Some of the most charitable people I know are Republicans. Real charity is not redistribution of wealth but goodwill toward man through the sharing of private abundance. Liberals don't have the corner on "charity" and I'm really getting sick of being told they do. In fact numerous studies show that Conservatives are far more generous than liberals in donations of both time and treasure.
    So this life is sacrifice...

  • If McCain is going to 'rescue' anything from Obama and distribute them, how about some of his good ideas?
