DNC Credential Design Questioned ~ Democrats Are NOT Patriotic




Viewers question credential design .....DNC attendees have holograms in hand

The tickets are for Obama's speech at INVESCO Field.







Colorado 9 News

Some viewers contacted 9NEWS Saturday, questioning the design of the credentials to see Sen. Barack Obama accept the Democratic Party's presidential nomination at INVESCO Field at Mile High.

The viewers say with the stars and blue field in the lower left corner, it looks like an upside down American flag. Published flag etiquette states the stars should always be displayed in the upper left corner. An upside down flag represents an international symbol of extreme distress.

Matt Chandler with the Obama campaign says the flag is not upside down. He says it is a stylized flag designed to blend the stars on Senator Obama's shirt with the flag blowing in the wind.

Natalie Wyeth with the Democratic National Convention Committee sent 9NEWS the following statement Saturday night:

"The DNCC community credentials incorporate patriotic design elements. They do not depict an actual American flag. The DNCC has full and complete respect for the flag and all rules of display."



Wild Thing's comment...........

I am so sick of this anti-American actions, and words too from the left!!!

So the design with flag elements, not a real flag. Silly me - I interpreted it as an actual upside down flag.

How tone deaf are these people, anyway??

"The DNCC has full and complete respect for the flag ...."

Sure long as they can burn them.

An upside down flag, if I recall correctly, is a distress signal.

How else can they insult America? It just never ends! Democrats can't take a single breath of air without insulting this country.

What a load of more BS--- that is so Anti - American- it is a blatant disregard of any one who has any ethics, Obama has no clue what that is!!! GOD HELP AMERICA to SEE OBAMA FOR WHAT HE REALLY IS!!!
Also him saying McCain cheated-at Saddleback--- how disgusting!!! CRYBABY LOSER-- knows he gave crap answers cuz he is crap---!!! Ha ha!!!! Warren said they both knew the " hard" questions ahead of time-- !! And anyone that calls that a debate-- has never been to a debate!! I see no reason for Obama to become President- when he can not even debate is opponet-- What will he do when he has to face a leader of a foreign country? get Michelle to do it--?? Probably!!! How dare Obama be such a liar!!! (What else is new with him tho??) What a loser he is-- He will say or do anything--imagine the things he would try do as President-- !!

An honest to goodness mistake Mrs Thing... Well it is now that they got caught.

The tickets are mirroring their beliefs.

They showed their true colors and respect back at Paul Wellstone's death and have become more rabid ever since. None of the so called 'moderates' stepped forth to condemn the disrespect, if so they would speak out against it, instead they circle the radicals like a herd of Muskoxen, defending the radicals and their agenda, that in my book makes them all one and the same. 3.3 million Cambodians, 5.1 million Vietnamese, 2 Million Koreans believed in the change offered by the Democrats, all were civilians, not counting the combatants, all are eligible under DNC rules to vote. They neither complain nor make demands, many have no gravemarkers, thanks to the decisive and stolid indifferent support promised by Democrat administrations. Go ahead, disrespect the nation, it's heritage, it's people, it's symbols, this is the level they have devolved into and the one we conservatives expect. Observe the cult of the 110th Congress, beliefs as far to the fringe as those of the Westboro Babtist Church.

Great point, Jack. The excuse that its only graphics is weak at best.

Either the Flag is upside down or obama is. They take these liberties just to piss off the Conservatives and I must admit it is working.

What stands out is, before the big night all these leftist are going to try to convince the American public that obama is this huge America first guy, as I said before why is there some doubt ????...Hehehehehe. A yeah...

Now he is wrapped in the flag with the field of blue for a shirt. this just confirms it, obama has a real huge problem with his credibility as far as his love of country goes. His associations, with all these anti-American groups, endorsements by Hamas, and the Communist Party, Yeah I'd say he's got a problem. All the testaments in the world won't change the outcome.

He's evil pure and simple.

The DNCC use of patriotic elements which appears like an upside down flag even though "They do not depict an actual American flag" is like someone yelling "Fire" in a theatre when there is none. At best, the DNCC is ashamed to depict an actual flag as part of it's credential design or, at worst (best for Republicans), they are admitting that they and Obama are in dire distress of extreme danger of losing in the November 2008 elections.

So DNCC, which is it ? Democrats are mocking the distress signal, ashamed of the actual flag and country, or admitting that Democrats are in election dire distress? Either way, you guys suck!

THE FLAG CODE
Title 36, U.S.C., Chapter 10
As amended by P.L. 344, 94th Congress
Approved July 7, 1976

§ 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.

Cheryl, I agree and the thing is he could stop this and tell them not to do things like this that slap our Flag and what it stands for in the face. But he agrees with it obviously, I agree Cheryl what a total jerk he is.

Robert, hahahha yes now they will say oh that was just a mistake. haha What jerks.

Your right about how this mirror's how they think and what they are.

Jack, that was soooo good,thank you and well said.

Posted by: Wild Thing at August 19, 2008 07:04 PM


Mark, LOL good one!!! I wish someone would say that on TV to one of the left talking heads......

"leftist are going to try to convince the American public that obama is this huge America first guy, as I said before why is there some doubt ????...".....that would really get them upset and show them up even more. heh heh

Posted by: Wild Thing at August 19, 2008 07:07 PM


Les, thanks for the code.

I use the Flag a lot in graphics and they could too if they show it with respect in the right or correct direction. I would have no problem with that. Like you said they are even mocking the distess signal.

This really steams me up! I'm reminded of the old Johnny Cash song,"I'm a flag waving patriotic nephew of my uncle sam." If they'd stop being so damn difficult and blowing everything out of proportion. The flag is NOT to be messed with. It's off limits! Maybe there should be a constitutional amendment making it a crime to mess with old glory unless it's to burn it properly when it needs to be.
I'm awful proud of Old Glory and I'm not going to let anyone destroy her.
They can all go to a very warm spot down below, it you get my drift.
