American flag with President Obama’s image sparks outrage at Florida Democrats
FoxNews.com
An American flag with President Obama’s image in place of the stars flew over a Florida county’s Democrat headquarters long enough to enrage local veterans who called the altered banner “a disgrace.”
Lake County Democratic Party officials took down the flag, which flew just below a standard Old Glory on the flagpole outside headquarters in Tavares following complaints by local veterans.But merely taking it down wasn’t enough for several local veterans, who said they fought for the flag Betsy Ross made famous, not one with a politician on it.
“It’s absolutely disrespectful,” Jim Bradford, a 71-year-old veteran who participated in the Bay of Pigs Invasion told FoxNews.com. “It’s totally ridiculous. To put somebody’s picture there, to me, it’s a disgrace to do that.”

Bradford, an organizer with the Veterans Memorial at Fountain Park in Leesburg, Fla., snapped photos of the flag and distributed them to fellow veterans and friends. By late afternoon, he and several other veterans delivered a copy of the federal flag code to Nancy Hulbert, chairwoman of the Lake County Democratic Party.
“We read that to her, but she would not accept that,” Bradford said. “The discussion finally got a little bit heated.”
Wild Thing’s comment……
This is a total disgrace! If I had the power I would arrest those that did this and throw them in jail. They have NO respect for our Flag and what it stands for…..none!!!!
I think they need to let the Democrats fly this flag so that people can see Obama and his party for what they really are.
Didn’t Communists put their “leaders” face on flags? Didn’t the Nazi’s have their special symbol as a replacement to their national symbol?
Obama is the Hitler of the 21st century and his dumpocrapic party is the 4th Reich. They will go down just as his predecessor did.
Why would you ever want to replace STARS with a dim bulb?
And a couple years ago the Dems had a Cuban flag with Che on it at their San Antonio campaign office. It seems like it is just too difficult for Dems to function in a free society. They prefer Marxist dictators.
How much you want to bet that if someone burned one of those “Obama” flags, they would be charged with a hate crime.
Thank you everyone so much.
Bob, I bet your right, if that did happen it would be a double standard just like everything else from the left.
