The huge criticism of the DNC from the right.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Apparently the stage wasn't some big huge flagasm, and our red white and blue was just to subtle for their tastes.

I'm totally serious. They're faulting us because we didn't have 10,000 American flags on the convention stage.

I bet they're the type of people whose idea of dessert is downing an entire bowl's worth of sugar.

1. And no one said ISIS! Not once!

[yeoman6987]

2. There was a wall around the stage and they are yelling about it on twitter

That's the main criticsm I hear not much else.

[duncang]

6. Having a glass wall they had around their stage?

I guess is totally different.

[leftynyc]

15. Those morons aren't

thinking about how many people speaking have secret service protection. I'm sure that wall was their idea.

3. Personally, I've never liked the multiple US flags on stage.

Why not just one & the flag of the state you're in. To me, it detracts from the symbolism to have 10 of them on stage.

[nolabear]

4. A former ambassador friend mentioned how their flag projection didn't display them correctly.

Apparently there is protocol about how those flags are folded when displayed and they didn't know, didn't bother, whatever.

So, you know, they can bite me twice.

5. I'm surprised they haven't been whining about flag pins...

...the way they did at Obama in 2008.

Of course, they can't make a fuss this time, since Trump doesn't wear one. But that's OK.

[Avalux]

7. They compensate for a lack of substance through displays of superficiality.

I work with a woman like that. She says she's a Christian, has her office all decorated with Jesus stuff, inspirational bible quotes and flowers. It's all so ridiculously over the top; yet she does it so people think she's a wonderful person. Who she is though is the opposite of her superficial display. She's ugly on the inside.

8. If they are mad about the flag gap, they're gonna shit when they see how much fewer balloons we're

gonna have.

[sofa king]

9. And the stage didn't turn red...

... when minorities spoke.

[WhiteTara]

10. Did theirs?

I couldn't watch very much of the RNC convention...was that true or are you being funny?

[sofa king]

11. I'll check right now

Looks like the big example was David Clarke:

David Clarke, Jr.:

Here's Darrell Scott. Note the stage lighting is red but the backdrop lighting is orange.

Mark Burns, Darryl Glenn, and Ben Carson got a blue stage.

Honestly, I cannot remember any other African-Americans speaking at the RNC, and my interest waned after a couple of days of hate. I got the impression that after the first day, they went to a generic flag backdrop.

[WhiteTara]

12. I'm not sure the significance

but maybe equates with hell?

[sofa king]

16. Red is the least popular lighting color

While it supposedly represents power, other studies suggest that red and yellow primarily convey lust and jealousy. And, of course, it's nature's way of saying, "danger!"

[WhiteTara]

17. Thanks.

Interesting information.

[tallahasseedem]

13. Well, our speakers rocked...

and they can't go against our positions...so the flag porn argument is all they have left.

[LoverOfLiberty]

14. Snopes debunked this

They are just throwing shit to see what sticks. Republicans accusing Democrats of being unpatriotic is nothing new.
