Dims and the flag

[Tigermike 3,425]

Al, seemed to take great offense when W held up the flag incorrectly at the Olympics.

Take a look at the DNC's use of the flag.

DNC: Credentials for Obama's Acceptance Speech Shows Upside Down American Flag?.....

The viewers say with the stars and blue field in the lower left corner, it looks like an upside down American flag. Published flag etiquette states the stars should always be displayed in the upper left corner. An upside down flag represents an international symbol of extreme distress.

Yes — a flag blowing upside-down. The DNCC would not even admit they used a flag:

“The DNCC community credentials incorporate patriotic design elements. They do not depict an actual American flag. The DNCC has full and complete respect for the flag and all rules of display.”

Take a look at the picture and see for yourself whether this depicts an American flag.

Blue field …. check.

Stars …. check.

Alternating white and red stripes …. check.

Looks like the flag to me.

Maybe the DNCC isn’t familiar with Old Glory.

Flying a flag upside down is a distress signal. Creating a graphic for a presidential campaign that includes an upside-down flag is a signal of a different kind — that the DNCC needs better management.

Hmm.... 3+ hours and still no response from those bashing Bush for his flag gaffe...

Okay, I'll say it-- that graphic designer is no more qualified to be President than Dubya.

All the graphic designer had to do was flip the flag vertically. He must work for Bozos-R-Us.
