Its not fake. A quick google search turns up this:

www.neoplexonline.com...
Obama USA 3'x5' Flag
in heavy polyester material!







Lol.

Seriously. If they are gonna put obama's mug on the stars-n-bars, why not add some pink polka dots and some white 'piles' (representing coke -- obama's pause that refreshes).

How would you feel about replacing your prized maple leaf with the image of Conservative PM Harper?

The New Obama American Flag?


It's an exercise in free speech. Nothing more, nothing less. We do not have to agree with what is says (or represents). We are only bound to respect the right to do so.

That's the old school approach to these things: I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it.

I sure wouldn't go on a website and make noise like it's yet another reason to despise him.

And frankly...I'd laff.

Edit to say...unless, of course, you're talking about the one on my arm...then I'd be out for blood...Tory blood at that!

Shall we comb through the ATS threads to look for similar threads? Not enough time in the day to do so. Especially when we go back through the Bush years.

You don't have to respond.

This flag is a first!! We never saw Clinton, Carter, Bush or Reagan images emblazoned in the place of the stars. Altering the image of the American Flag appears to be a liberal tactic. We will see how far this goes. Watch the crowds for these flags at the next Obama Healthcare town hall meetings.

I have a right to get fired up about this. Just like those who are fired up about Obama winning the Nobel and those that are fired up about the praise Obama songs being taught in our PUBLIC schools. Enough is enough!!

it took a couple of minutes to find out this "flag" was taken from an un-named website, and the website that has the story is a right-wing site.

too bad your "source" isn't reliable, but it keeps the "fear factor" alive. so mission acccomplished.

Please read through the thread. You will find that the flag is being sold on Ebay via at least 3 different vendors. One of the original vendors, Dave's Flags, has removed the flag from its website.

Well, the altered flag is ilegal acording to U.S code:Title 4 chapter 3.


Just FYI:

Flag Code


This is a U.S. federal law, but there is no penalty for failure to comply with it and it is not widely enforced — indeed, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that punitive enforcement would conflict with the First Amendment right to freedom of speech.


I support Free Speech more than a silly code about disrespecting a piece of cloth. I'm sorry so many of you seem upset, but supporting free speech is just lip service and meaningless without supporting those with whom we disagree.

So, those of you who think this shouldn't be allowed are not supporting free speech. It's good to know.
