Christ that flag pin thing with Obama was stupid. The no hand over the heart for the pledge was worthy of some scrutiny IMO but the no flag pin? I've always hated those flag pins. Gee, a building fell and a bunch of people are dead lets all put pins on our jackets. Geez.

I agree the whole thing was ridicules and childish. I simply wanted to point out the hypocrisy that goes on during this campaign. I know as an American citizen and voter....me personally I am sick and tired of all the hypocrisy and mud slinging.....not a fan of dirty politics.

The flag pin thing was stupid. The hand over the heart thing though I found disrespectful. Just looking at that picture of Obama refusing to put his hand over his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance still irks me.

Though if you wanted to pursue any flag pin, hand over heart or any such iconic issues having to do with patriotism, the right could always counter with "Which candidate served in the military and which didn't?"

Oh the Flagggg Pin!
That was just sooooo yesterday.

Ugh, how revoltingly stupid... Not your post mind you, lol, the *flag* thing.

Bloody hell.

I've never heard such tripe in my life. If us Australians ever caught ourselves arguing over such petty things as "He didn't wear a flag-pin!" during an election we would put our heads in an oven and turn on the gas.

Grow up people. This is about your FUTURE here. A bloody flag-pin means stuff-all in the grand scheme of things.

It's about change not a flag pin. America is crying for change the politicians ( some of them ) are crying for change. I could care less about the pin, the flag etc... I want change here in America and I'm wondering who will do that and how. It's long overdue to start drilling, it's time to change our education system, it's time to put Government in it's place, taxes need overhauled and the only way to due it is to put away our differences and be Americans. I'm still waiting on the debates before making my decision, but petty hypocrisy's needs to stop.

The flag pin is on his scars.

The flag pin is in his heart.

The flag pin is in his blood.

Mostly it would be nice to see all the posters on the threads about the stupid flag pins come on here and comment about it. Bunch of mindless hypocrites!

Every time I hear the topic of flag pins mentioned, it always reminds me of the movie Office Space.

Is there a required amount of flare our candidates have to wear?

The Republicans wear the ones with the cheap Chinese catches that keep breaking. Nothing more than a wardrobe malfunction.
