UPDATE (September 6, 2008): The flags were rescued from the trash by Boy Scouts and distributed by Veterans to supporters at a McCain rally. Heh.

ORIGINAL POST:

The libs hate it when people point out examples of flag abuse. It probably galls them because they view it as a piece of cloth or paper, and, after all, how can anybody be offended when somebody bites, folds, tears, mutilates, or devours a piece of cloth or paper? They hate being nailed on it because they think a bunch of yahoos will question their patriotism. Hmmm.

So, since fomenting liberal angst is one of greatest sporting events known to man, and we lettered in that particular event, here goes.

From Red State (part from email alert, part from link).

For two days RedState has been at the Democratic Convention trying to find American flags.

Sure, when the television cameras come on for prime time network coverage, the Democrats have been passing out flags like candy.

But when the prime time lights are not on, and for the entire time Tuesday night, including during prime time, there have been no American flags: not in the crowd, not on the stage, not in the hallways — nowhere.

Well, we finally found some American flags.

They were in the trash.

Red State found a couple of bags of trash at the Democrat Convention last night.

Just focus on this: The Democrats only pulled out the flags for prime time Monday night and Wednesday night. They have otherwise avoided all displays of the American flag.

After Wednesday night, they threw them in the trash.
