I guess McCain has clearly won the mini-flag vote. If he keeps it up, big banners will also support him, and the ever popular youth team pennant vote will come to the McCain camp in droves.

Yah sorta shows Craig Washington had his priorities right when he said 'I prefer a man who will burn the flag and then wrap himself in the Constitution to a man who will burn the Constitution and then wrap himself in the flag'.

Oh the humanity. Another BFD moment brought to you by those who can not think of nothing else to say about the guy

I had not decided if I am going to vote for him or not. If this is the best you can get on the guy. Maybe it's time to take another look at him.

Oh come on... we have nothing else to say about that guy McCain? Have you paid any attention to the forum lately?


Reply #2:
Yeah, that "flag rescue" is nothing but insubstantial mud-slinging.

I really expected better from Senator McCain's campaign.

Apparently the McCain campaign's definition (or Faux News' definition) of "rescued" is another's definition of "stole"

Republicans stealing American flags...I can't think of a better metaphor for their campaign.

UPDATE: DNC spokeswoman Karen Finney issues a statement: "American flags were proudly waved by the 75,000 people who joined Barack Obama at the Democratic Convention. John McCain should applaud that, but instead his supporters wrongfully took leftover bundles of our flags from the stadium to play a cheap political stunt calling into question our patriotism. On the same day he agrees to join Barack Obama at Ground Zero on September 11, John McCain attacks the patriotism of Obama supporters who so proudly waved the American flag at our historic event in Denver just days ago."

UPDATE II: Another statement from the Democratic National Convention Committee: "Stories circulating about flags at the Democratic National Convention are false. We distributed more than 125,000 American made flags at the Convention - the flags removed from Invesco field were intended for other events and taken without permission. It's disappointing that someone would take American flags without authorization and then falsely describe how they were being used. We have the utmost respect for the American flag, and it's sad to see them being used for a cheap political stunt."

How can anyone even consider voting for a republican now days? The depths to which they will stoop is as appalling as the consequences will be should they get into office.

Uhm... because he had been on the receiving end of such a campaign before and he promised to lead a fair campaign before he hired his Rovian campaign managers?

Edit: It's less the fact that McCain's side employs smear tactics than the sheer scale that I found surprising.

Because yeah, throwing away a bunch of cheap american flags (MADE IN CHINA) is a big fucking deal to the republicans. Jesus fucking Christ, I can't wait till the Republicans actually start talking about issues.

Just a couple of minor points...

1. They were American made flags

2. They were NOT being thrown away they were bundled up for future use.

The "republicans" stole them to use in a cheap political stunt.
