— DrewM For Democrats the flag seems to be just another disposable prop.
Don't worry, this won't be one of those things only rightwing nut jobs know about. Drudge has it and has crashed the Denver Post site. And oh yeah. McCain/Palin are in Colorado today.
Before McCain speaks today, veterans will haul these garbage bags filled with flags out onto the stage with dramatic effect, no doubt and tell the story.
The Democrats spent a lot of time worrying about how environmentally friendly and healthy their convention would be but I guess that only goes so far. Now they'll whine about how it wasn't their fault and it's not like Obama was personally tossing flags in the trash and in some sense that's true. But appearances matter and this just feeds into the perception that patriotism as most Americans understand it (something other than endless criticism of the country) is simply a card Democrats play at election time.
I wonder why anyone would get that idea?

Bill "Friend of Barack" Ayers
UPDATE: The convention committee more or less says the flags were taken before they could be dealt with.
Damon Jones, spokesman for the Democratic National Convention Committee, released a statement saying McCain should applaud the fact that thousands of American flags were proudly waved at their convention.Update (2:35 eastern): Palin is on FOX now giving her stump speech. McCain is up next and may talk about the flags.But instead his supporters wrongfully took leftover bundles of our flags from the stadium to play out a cheap political stunt calling into question our patriotism, he said.
The Obama campaign has responded to the controversy by asking, "How does this help find out who Trig Palin's mother is"
(I may have made that up.)

And while you're closing the open HTML center tag, Drew, how's about changing the other headline to read "Clinton aides: etc."? And shouldn't those flags have been recycled? (Maybe into Liberian, Puerto Rican or Cuban ones.)

Holy shit! I just saw the picture at Hot Air (not through the Ace link, above) and I figured they were the small, paper flags for delegates to wave--but they're the real cloth flags! Holy shit! I don't believe they could have been this stupid when they could have been donated to schools or public buildings. Hell, even offered them for free to the general public (especially to replace worn-out ones at businesses out of respect and to beautify neighbourhoods). What dumbasses.

This is going to get the Dems absolutely frothing with the "how dare you question our patriotism" stuff.
The Dems under Mr. and Mrs. The One are already all froth and no beer. The gritty, and challenging job of community organizer notwithstanding, Obambi is looking more and more like a bantam weight up against a super-heavy weight. They're not calling SP the "Thrilla from Wasilla" for nothing.

I will admit, I laughed at the RNC using the wrong Walter Reed building for the backdrop. It was a fun, goofy mistake that you know got someone's ass chewed out.
This one though with the flags... not funny at all. Someone had to say, "You know, we got to get rid of these flags. Let's trash them. All of them." And other people who were in a position of decision making and authority had to say, "We're cool with that." There were multiple layers of fail on this one.

Great fundraising idea.
Save a "Flag from the Democrats". You too can bitterly cling to these "recycled" flags, they only have 50 stars, were only used once and were apparently made right side up. You'll notice that these flags have finely preserved footprints of Democratic Delagates.
Please find a home for these orphans of patriotism.

I want to ask a question: does flag etiquette, specifically the disposal part of it, apply to any representation of a US Flag, like a paper of plastic one meant for waving by hand as opposed to flying, or only to an actual made-to-fly flag?
Even if technically the answer is no, I think it is a huge symbolic goof, and the Dems never pull their punches just because it turns out that something was not technically true, do they? But I am curious about this question.
Posted by: sherlock at September 06, 2008 08:31 AM (ojW85)
This is good symbolism, but it doesn't mean much.
These are tinker toy flags, not a standard. It is wasteful and stupid, but the degree of disrespect is minor, these are tinker toy flags, not actual standards/ensigns.
Use it, but I would like to know what anyone else does, when their memorial day flag is all worn out, and needs to be removed, and replaced with a newer one? Do you go through the entire retiring proces before disposing of it in flames?

McCain congratulated Obama for his nomination. It was a classy thing to do. The video and the response from the Obama campaign can be seen here: http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/08/obama-campaig-1.html.
I hadnt seen Obama's response on TV. Its easy to miss, as I record a lot and watch on weekends, so I could have missed it. So I went to Obamas youtube channel, figuring theyd have it there.
This is what I found searching mccain congratulations ad : http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=BarackObamadotcom&search_query=mccain+congratulations+ad&search=Search
It tried every combination I could think of, even just mccain, congratulations, convention, republican. I browsed through all 1228 videos on the site. Nothing was there, as promised by David Pluffe, Obamas campaign manager.
I am a Republican. I was probably going to vote for McCain by default. But Im not THAT strong a Republican. I was looking for a reason to vote for a candidate, Democrat or Republican, not against one, and Obama has many things about him to recommend. I WANTED to like him.
The last two weeks of conventions and speeches and actions have solidified my opinion and position, and these two links are but one stark example of why. Its not the candidates laundry list of kitchen table positions on everything from unions to abortion to gun control to school reform to just who is going to make you better off and win the war on terror and bring back our standing in the world. Its the measure of the men and women in this race. The more I have looked into the records, and the history of the people in this race, I have found Obama, Biden, and the people with whom they surround themselves wanting. They do not have integrity and they do not have my vote.
Now, I follow politics like most people follow football. I find it fascinating. But until now, Ive been an interested, if somewhat partisan observer, but not an activist. Im not even registered with any party. That has changed. For the first time, I have donated to a political campaign of any type.
McCain/Palin 08
For me the choice is now clear. For everyone else across the political spectrum you I suggest you look very closely at all the candidates and the people that have influenced them throughout their lives, and then let your conscience be your guide.

topsecret,
I'm a fan of the uniform code, thats why I will never display a flag, unless it is a standard. None of those flags are of the proper size to be a standard, the smallest is a "storm" flag, which is 5'X9 1/2".
Now any representation of the national standard is a "flag" but those flags, that are not standards require the same respect as standards.
Thats why this doesn't bug me MUCH!
It's stupid, wasteful and disrespectful, but not as stupid and wasteful and disrespectful as dems can often be.
Thats all I meen.

That's what I first thought too. Look at the photo on Hot Air. By and large, they aren't the hanging off a building kind, though according to the McCain campaign this included at least one of those also.
But these are bigger than kiddie stuff. I'm watching this on Fox News right now and these look at least a couple feet wide.

And I must correct myself Topsecret,
There is one other representation of the US Flag, that is considered a standard, and it is 1 1/2" wide, and more than 20" long.
It's called the medal of honor.
Posted by: wickedpinto at September 06, 2008 09:14 AM (ul7te)
Or if it's worn as a ribbon, it's 3/4" wid, and 2 1/4" long.
(I Might have fucked up my ribbon dimensions, it's been 10 years, used to have this shit verbatim, I was BIG on the uniform code.)
Posted by: wickedpinto at September 06, 2008 09:19 AM (ul7te)
That's good information but honestly, as a political matter, it's going to be overwhelmed by the optics.
McCain wouldn't be hurt by this if it happened at the RNC because, well he's a fucking war hero.
Barack "False Patriotism" Obama? He's got himself a problem for a day or two when he's already on the defensive after the RNC convention.
I thought a lot of the flag stuff in the '88 campaign was pretty vacuous but Dukakis was just an ass, Obama has a, um, 'more colorful', relationship with some basic American values (Ayers, William, pictured above).

Posted by: phreshone at September 06, 2008 09:21 AM (bsZk4)
I understand DrewM,
I'm just saying that I believe, and actually hope more did, that patriotism is more than waving a flag shaped object.
I'm not saying it's bad, In fact, it's good, if you actually believe in it, and this is powerful not because of any real disrespect in handling, but in the disrespect of the Dem's, by treating the flag as an accoutrement rather than a symbol of this nation.
I am just a stickler, so I'm not THAT offended, Offended, yes, but not THAT offended.
Those in the know will likely feel the same, and those not in the know probably don't give a flying fuck anyway.

Posted by: wickedpinto at September 06, 2008 09:23 AM (ul7te)
BTW, a Storm Flag, is the particular standard that is draped over a coffin. It is TECHNICALY born by a US servicemember and is therefor a Standard. That is why even folded, a standard that has dressed a coffin rates a salute.
I find nothing particularly technical to that line of thinking. At the very least I'd call it reasonable and respectful.

If you think you can cover this mess with some flag waivingwait til the election. The public aint gonna fall for this cynicism anymore."
"Why make a big deal out of these used flags, they were bought and paid for and the served their purpose. They were just props to decorate the stage for television."
"here is what i think of you wasted patriotism: why are all of you true patriots here blogging instead of diving in a dumpster somewhere in denver? and while youre there dont stop at the flag, stay there. i defy anyone, even the pope to label a flag sacred!"

Much of this story has already been countered by the Democrats as untrue (the flags may have been bundled and bagged to be reused before a GOP sympathizer stole them), but Id also question what the GOP plans to do with all of its little flags when its done fetishizing them.
After all, Republicans probably are more like than Dems to break the law while unintentionally abusing the flag. For details on how, see http://jmcpherson.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/burn-a-flag-for-the-fourth/.

So if those flags were going to be used later by the Obama campaign why were they in garbage bags? And why weren't they under the control of the Obama campaign staff?
I'm sure the veterans who distributed these flags will have something to add to this discussion.

And that sure as hell applies to an American citizen who serves his country, even if his parents were illegal immigrants. It shows the son bought into the idea of America and the parent's decision, while illegal, was a good one.
Besides... they were obviously citizens of another country. While American citizens and authorities are morally bound by its laws, it's an an open question about whether foreigners are.
Do you feel bound by every country's laws? You're under their jurisdiction, yes, but a moral obligation?
I simply don't believe it's immoral to emigrate to another country.
Even allowing for the fact the parents were dastardly criminals, doesn't diminish their son's service, McCain in honoring it, nor both the idea and laws of America.

And permission is the key. A copyright holder has the right to control the distribution of their work, even to be a jerk about it. Ask Gabe.

Do you feel bound by every country's laws? You're under their jurisdiction, yes, but a moral obligation?
When I'm under their jurisdiction, yeah I do. I don't think you get to show up in some country and decide which laws you want to follow and which ones you don't. It's not that complicated and I'm pretty sure, "I don't feel a moral obligation to follow your laws" is a winning defense in any country.
Are you really saying it's optional for non-citizen aliens to follow the laws of the country they are in? Really?
I have no problem with the kid for winning a medal at the Olympics (this case has nothing to do with military service, I don't know why you brought that up). I do have a problem with McCain trying to use it to beat up people who want to see the laws enforced. He could have saluted the kid without mentioning his parents immigration status, no?

A donation would have made a better story for the dims.
Obama and his RetardOcrats were donating the Flags to the landfill which were intercepted and redistibuded to actual Americans who appreciate such donations

One could argue whether they were justified in doing so. I'd say muskets decided the issue.
However, we could celebrate their children's accomplishments regardless.

How do you know they didn't get a BMI or ASCAP license? Do you think every bit of music played at the convetinos (God awful as it was) was pirated?
Musicians grant agencies the right to license the use of their music but they can revoke it at anytime, which seems to be what Heart has done.
That doesn't mean the first use was illegal.

Obviously early Americans and their forbears over centuries disagreed with you.
It's not that complicated and I'm pretty sure, "I don't feel a moral obligation to follow your laws" is a winning defense in any country."
It's not a defense, naturally, nor did I claim it is. I expressly stated you're under the country's jurisdiction to the degree they have the ability to enforce it.
Much like this serviceman's parents, who took a chance and got citizenship for their son because of your country's inability to enforce your immigration laws. Yes, that inability should be addressed; however... I don't believe the parents did anything morally wrong. As individuals.
Nothing wrong that wasn't done by generations of founding Americans, anyway. (Rather less when you think about it because the parents didn't use muskets or destroy the pre-existing nations.)

I seem to remember that you are from Canada, right?
Can I move to say Toronto and just start working legally without any authorization? Yes or no, it's a simple question
Again, I have no problem with saluting the kid who won the medal but his parent's immigration status is immaterial, except as an attempt by McCain to gain some moral advantage for his amnesty position.

If they had the McCain camp would have said so. They're not idiots. Further, they were caught repeatedly (as reported by Allahpundit at Hot Air) using music in campaign commercials without permission. They were then forced to remove it.

Hey jackass...he's not a serviceman. He won a fucking Olympic gold medal.
I'd be more inclined (though not by much) to take you seriously if you could get a basic fact right instead of misstating something several times, especially after being corrected.
Posted by: DrewM. at September 06, 2008 10:45 AM (hlYel)
No. Which is what I've said 3 times now.
Doing so wouldn't make you immoral, however. Murder, lying, stealing someone's copyrighted music... these are immoral acts of varying degrees of seriousness. One of those isn't even illegal.
Posted by: Christoph at September 06, 2008 10:48 AM (hawOV)
DrewM, pwned, you're right. I'd listened to it once and got it mixed up. That was careless of me.
Naturally you can substitute "American gold medal winner" for serviceman and my point makes sense in each and every instance. Further, the reason for my mental flub is the case of an American serviceman with illegal immigrant parents is much more common.

Bully for you Christoph. Alas, you are the only one talking about morality. The law is much more straight forward. It is against the law of this country (and every country) to enter without proper documentation. Furthermore, it is illegal to work in this country (and I'm guessing every country) to work without proper documentation.
Also, you and the open border types forget that illegal immigrants very often commit identity theft in order to work. That surely must qualify as 'immoral', doesn't it?

Guilty.
"The law is much more straight forward."
Indeed.
"It is against the law of this country (and every country) to enter without proper documentation. Furthermore, it is illegal to work in this country (and I'm guessing every country) to work without proper documentation."
I support those laws, and I support your country's right to enforce them.
"Also, you and the open border types..."
Thank you for acknowledging correctly I and open border types are too different camps.
"... forget that illegal immigrants very often commit identity theft in order to work."
I've never forgotten that. I oppose identity theft to the point of probably being uncommonly interested in the subject. I have a close family who was victimized. I think about it personally. I stay well versed on privacy issues.
"That surely must qualify as 'immoral', doesn't it?"
Yes. And I'm sure we agree there's no evidence the child did anything immoral. On the contrary, he represented his country well. Whether the story is brave illegal immigrant parents risk everything to go to the greatest nation on Earth and give their child a better life... or evil foreign parents' child loves his birthland and excels... it's still a great American story.
Posted by: Christoph at September 06, 2008 11:06 AM (hawOV)
If they did, awesome, and that will raise my already (mostly: believe it or not, I agree with you that he's too weak on border security and illegal immigration, not to mention his global warming nonsense) high estimation of McCain so I thank you for bringing it to my attention. Do you have a source for that?

Posted by: ThomasD at September 06, 2008 11:14 AM (UK5R1)
Christoph,
I doubt he's a 'child' given the age minimums at the Olympics but let that slide. I am actually quite confident he, like all of us, has done something immoral in his life. That's not relevant to the story however.
Again, my argument is with McCain. He thinks these examples add moral heft to his side (and he does often use soldiers as examples). The fact is however, for every example of Olympic medalist, heroic soldiers and gosh darn wonderful person he uses, I can show one (likely more) examples of criminals or people who take from the system.
My point isn't that the people McCain cites aren't fantastic, I'm sure they are. They are just irrelevant to the argument because they are counterbalanced by those less savory types.
So yes, let's celebrate this young man for what he has done but not for what his parents did. More importantly, let's debate the merits of immigration policy without resorting to fuzzy stories that don't tell the whole picture.

I'm a bit doubtful about that last theory, ThomasD, since the Excel Center mostly puts bums in seats for sporting events and the like, and the McCain camp had about 40,000,000-50,000,000 people who've listened to that song by now while seeing Sarah "Barracuda" Palin for VP.
It could be, but it it would be like renting a presentation room at a convention centre and expecting them to have bought the rights to a DVD you plan on showing as part of your, "How to Be a Better Plumber" info-session. I doubt it.
Okay, that's a bit of an off-the-wall comparison, but AD said the McCain campaign purchased the license rights for public broadcast at the convention/
I remain optimistic that AD can back that up. If so, excellent, and I mean that.
Posted by: Christoph at September 06, 2008 11:21 AM (hawOV)
How do you want him to back it up? Did you read the link? Do you think McCain's people are lying? It seems Heart would have been all over that if it were untrue.

Well, I'm waiting to see the police report indicating where these flags were stored; how they were stored; who last had legal custody of them; and when they were first noticed to be missing. We WILL see such a report won't we?
I'm still waiting. (drumming fingers on desk)
Posted by: kaba at September 06, 2008 11:28 AM (H/Jps)
I'm glad to see he did that right.
DrewM, by child I mean offspring of the parents, of course (and I don't mean to imply the U.S. has suddenly started using minors as soldiers), but okay, let's let that slide.
Yes, there are a lot of illegal immigrant criminals (beyond the rarely prosecuted immigration crimes in the U.S. Code) and I'm sure many of their children commit crimes. Possibly at higher rates than the general population, but I don't have any proof one way or the other.
"The fact is however, for every example of Olympic medalist, heroic soldiers and gosh darn wonderful person he uses, I can show one (likely more) examples of criminals or people who take from the system."
Sure you can. Anyone could. But that doesn't mean he shouldn't use examples that support his position.
Look, I think we've reached the point where we basically agree. You should toughen your border enforcement and immigration policy. However, for McCain like Bush, coming from border states where they know all sorts of good people who are friends with, family members of, etc., illegal immigrants, they've formed the view these are fine people and we shouldn't punish or chastize individuals especially for the sins of their parents.
I didn't have a problem with McCain's story. I heard it and did a little "ouch!" inside knowing some people wouldn't like it... but one of my things is while I see the broader patterns, I can also look at an issue in isolation rather than tie it to every other thing that's happening in the world.
And in isolation, it's a great story.

Awesome, and thanks for that info. Like I mentioned, I'm speaking of STANDARDS, and ENSIGNS, not of just flags.

According to AmericanFlags.com:
When a U.S. flag is so worn it is no longer fit to serve as a symbol of our country, it should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner. Most American Legion Posts, VFW Chapters and Boy Scout Troops regularly conduct dignified flag burning ceremonies, often on Flag Day, June 14th. Contact your local American Legion Hall, VFW Chapter or Boy Scout Troop to inquire about the availability of this service. NEVER THROW A FLAG IN THE GARBAGE!

From Air Force Pamphlet 36-2241: There are nine different types of US flags.
Installation Flag - 8 feet 11 3/8 inches by 17 feet
All-weather flag (Storm) - 5 feet by 9 feet 6 inches nylon
All-purpose flag - 3 feet by 4 feet
Ceremonial Flag - 4 feet 4 inches by 5 feet 6 inches trimmed on three edges with yellow finge
Oraganizational Flag - 3 feet by 4 feet trimmed on three edges with yellow fringe
Interment Flag - 5 feet by 9 feet 6 inches of any material
Retirement Flag - 3 feet by 4 feet or 3 feet by 5 feet
Automobile Flags - 12 inch by 18 inch or 18 inch by 26 inch trimmed with yellow fringe or 6 inch by 9 inch without fringe
No disrespect is shown to the flag of the United States of America. Never:
Allow the flag to touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, floor or water.
Fasten, display, use, or store the flag in such a manner that it can be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
There's a lot more to it than that. I paraphrased.
Sorry, but as a member of the military, this disregard for the symbol of our country and the self-same symbol that my friends and family have fought and died for really grinds my gears.
As for the comments by the Democrats that it was a stunt by the RNC to make them look bad...yeah, the Veterans and Boy Scouts who found those flags were just trying to make them look bad.
