McCain Camp ‘Rescues’ Flags From Obama Rally

McCain Camp ‘Rescues’ Flags From Obama Rally
On August 29th, I post …… Democrats Trash Old Glory, and YES Democrats Are NOT Patriotic! ….. I shared with you how the Democrats were given our American Flag to have for their Convention. Once the convention was over the Flags were found on the ground with the rest of the trash to be thrown away. — Wild Thing

I was shocked and posted about it. I was angry and this was just another thing the Democrats have done to prove and I do mean PROVE they are NOT Patriotic and could care less about our Flag and our country. –Wild Thing

A worker at Invesco Field in Denver saved thousands of unused flags from the Democratic National Convention that were headed for the garbage. Guerrilla campaigning. They will use these flags at their own event today in Colorado Springs with John McCain and Sarah Palin.
Before McCain speaks today, veterans will haul these garbage bags filled with flags out onto the stage — with dramatic effect, no doubt — and tell the story. The flags are on their way to a McCain Palin rally in Colorado Springs where the Boy Scouts and Veterans of Foreign Wars will distribute them to the GOP faithful.

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.
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.
Boy Scouts were sorting through 84 bags of flags in Colorado on Saturday, before a McCain supporter had veterans distribute them to the audience.
“We want to find good homes for these flags,” radio host Dan Caplis said at the rally, adding that whatever flags remained would be placed at memorials throughout Colorado.
Audience members, who booed when Caplis announced that the flags were left in Denver, waved the flags and chanted “U.S.A” before McCain arrived at the rally with his running mate, Sarah Palin.
Damon Jones, spokesman for the Democratic National Convention Committee, released a statement saying McCain should applaud the fact that thousands of American flags were “proudly waved” at their convention.
“But instead his supporters wrongfully took leftover bundles of our flags from the stadium to play out a cheap political stunt calling into question our patriotism,” he said.
Obama has faced attacks on his patriotism since the beginning of the Democratic primary race and has set up a Web site specifically designed to fight such charges.
The McCain campaign has denied questioning Obama’s patriotism, and even released a statement Friday calling Obama’s most recent comments on the matter “hysterical.”

Wild Thing’s comment…….
To Democrats American Flag’s are is merely “props”. “Props” that had served their purpose and were now to be discarded along with the styrofoam Greek columns. AMERICAN flags discarded like so much used Kleenex.
Libs HATE the flag – that’s why they burn it so often. I am only surprised that so many of them were willing to hold them long enough for the cameras to capture that historic moment.
To the Democrats, this election is not about the country, it’s about the Democrats. To Obama, it’s about Obama. Love of country, in their order of priorities, comes somewhere after ‘free’ government money and the latest edition of the stupid horrible Oprah show…………..way after.
