But then again...none of these guys are black...how dare a black man put his image anywhere near the flag.
More manufactured crisis.

The difference is, Obama completely removed the Stars that represents a Union of States and made himself the Union.
Not too sure that Obama is behind this one, I have yet to see evidence that he conspired with anyone to have his face on the flag...

I absolutely agree. Now lets see you and everyone else in this thread go after the idiots who fly the flag upside down in their back yard when not in imminent physical danger. I equate one infraction with the other.
The flag should never be displayed with union down, except as a signal of dire
distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

Go ahead and try to justify your knee-jerk reaction however you wish. Or just admit that while this isn't something to cheer about, it isn't the end of the world either.

Everyone has an opinion, but you're not going to convince a decorated vet that altering the flag is OK, because it's not part of our code.

Obama didn't do a damn thing. Look, say what you will about our president but he has some decent taste and I would be extremely shocked if he was behind this tacky piece of cloth. The thing looks completely ridiculous.

I am a decorated vet as well. What difference does that make in this discussion?
I have never said it was ok for ANYONE to deface the flag. I have only said it is very hypocritical to crucify Obama followers while ignoring everyone else who has done the same over the centuries. Why does this one instance make you so angry when the others don't? Is your anger REALLY over how the US flag was treated? Be honest.

Because this isn't an instance of some idiot defacing a flag and hanging it in his yard, this is being hung up at the democratic headquarters in florida. It has nothing to do with race, get over your race paranoia.
