‘Desecrated flag’ video is DNC finalist
One of the 20 finalists in health care video contest run by Barack Obama’s campaign arm features a mural of an America flag splattered with health care graffiti until it’s covered completely by black paint.
In the video – which is accompanied by the sound of a heart monitor pumping and then flat-lining – words such as “pre-existing conditions,” “homeless” and “death panel” ultimately obliterate the flag, which reappears on screen seconds later with the words “Health Will Bring Our Country Back to Life” on the blue field where the 50 stars usually are.
According to the Organizing for American Web site, the 20 finalists in the “Health Reform Video Challenge” were chosen by a panel of “qualified” Democratic National Committee “employee judges.”
A spokesman for Organizing for America said the group was not prepared to provide immediate comment on the video, which, according to the OFA Web site, was produced by Daniel Lahoda and Saber.
According to the OFA Web site, the 20 finalists will be judged by the public and a panel of experts that includes DNC Chairman Tim Kaine, Obama campaign chief David Plouffe, Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-Pa.), singer will.i.am and Hollywood stars Rosario Dawson and Dule Hill.
Wild Thing’s comment…….
This is a good example of how the left feels about America. They don’t deserve to live in our country imo.
NO! This is beyond unAmerican! It is God Damned mean spirited and nasty (sorry folks, I don’t take too kindly to those desecrating the flag. I was in the Color Guard at school and learned how to take care of the flag.) It shows the mentality of the far left. My 7 year old has more maturity in her little pinkie than most of them.
Disgraceful. If it’s that bad , then just LEAVE. I mean it, GTFOH. Unass My AO.
He, obama, showed up in Delaware for a show up photo op and followed a Sageant he was the last in line. Saluted all the way. First he is the most Senior person there. Uncovered, not in any uniform, yet he is saluting. He has no clue what he was doing there except for the photo oportunity.
After this ostentatious display of phony patriotism,for his own benefit. He allows on his website, the Flag of this country to be desecrated in public and rewards a prize for the best hatchet job on descrating the Flag.
This asshole has no idea what that Flag means to some of us. We have lost friends and brothers for that Flag, seen it burnt, and seen the enemies of our country try and destroy it. When it was used up we gave it a proper burial. When it was done we sealed in our heart the memories that went with that flag. This man is NO AMERICAN, he is a traitor of the worst kind.
