Inverted optics: DNCC wraps Obama in upside-down flag; A familiar look?

The Democrats and the Obamaciples don’t even come close to being American patriots. Treason, and surrender maybe trendy in Holly-weird fund raisers, but the new Dem patriotism is definitely not! Matter of fact, IMO, the Democrats are an embarrassment, and affront to democracy!

It took you seven minutes and an extra post to think that up?

James on August 20, 2008 at 10:18 AM

It took you nineteen hours to think up a response?

No, I was referring to your specific posts here.

When you say “routinely” you are generalizing. Sorry that logical flaw escapes you, I realize I’m talking over your head.

Ah, because I used the word ‘I’ in there. Wow, you sure got me. Oh no, I used ‘I’ again! And ‘me!’ Oh, the horror!

You made the post about you when you said “us.” I never referred to you; wasn’t talking to you. In fact, I don’t even remember you, as you’ve never made an impression on me. You’re not important enough for me to think about. You obviously take these things personally, as evidenced by thrusting your nose into other people’s conversations. Anger management classes might be a good solution.

I know what happens to any thread here in which you participate.

Generalizing again, eh? Or are you an internet stalker?

If you’re trying to start a flame war, you’re wasting your time. I’m not interested. Don’t you have better things to do than to bait people on the HA forum?

Guess not.

I do.

Buh-bye.

1. Generalize much?

No, I was referring to your specific posts here.

2. Made the post about you.

Ah, because I used the word ‘I’ in there. Wow, you sure got me. Oh no, I used ‘I’ again! And ‘me!’ Oh, the horror!

3. Acted like you know me.

I know what happens to any thread here in which you participate.

Mega-fail.

I usually prefer not to use the typical childish message board argot, but in this case you took the words right from my mouth.

Mac,
I believe that an “o” win in November will make the Carter years look like an era of great achievement, not to mention all this symbolism we’re being inundated with just creeps me out.
So, the consequences of my being one of those who would sit it out, out of indifference, is a factor I’m not willing to live with.

The DNC relating to the American flag, has been the joke of this century. The adage of: "No matter how much lipstick you put on a pig, it's still a pig," holds true for the hate America, and hate our military Democrat party!

jerry – Don’t know about you, but I can’t stay furious 24/7. To me, it’s truly frightening and dispiriting to think that the country is taking BO seriously at all. We haven’t actually voted him in yet, but he’s far too close for comfort. The continual burbling up of new evidence of just what he represents and of what his victory would mean doesn’t affect the overall calculation much: So there are varying admixtures of far left influence in and around Obama-land – I find it at least as problematic, but no more surprising, than the fact that there are self-styled conservatives still coming up with rationalizations for indifference to the outcome in November, or even for supporting Obama in some pseudo-conservative version of “the worse the better.”

He says it is a stylized flag designed to blend the stars on Senator Obama’s shirt with the flag blowing in the wind.

Stylized flag...in addition to his own personal Presidential seal, his airplane's own symbol, and the stupid A-hole "gesture". I would call it pathetic, but I guess I should at least be glad the flag isn't on fire.

Pardon me but WTF were they thinking?

Gilda on August 19, 2008 at 3:20 PM

Possibly that all conservatives are knuckle-dragging oafs who already get headaches trying to figure out Thomas Kinkade, and who think “avant-garde” is a deodorant, so would never notice? Or that even if anyone did notice, their friends in the media would never make a big or even small deal out of it?
