Now they are using Obama's airplane as evidence

[peaches2003]

Evidence that Obama is anti-American and hates the USA because he does not have an American flag on the side of his plane, but only has his flag-like logo. FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, the wacko conservatives are screaming. HE HATES THE COUNTRY AND THIS IS PROOF! What is with these nutjobs fixation on symbols? How do you fight such idiocy?

[Midlodemocrat]

1. We should use these pics to show that even McCain supports

Obama.

:rofl:

2. All humans respond to symbols. It's an important aspect of our Consciousness.

the Golden Key is learning to use Symbols to OUR advantage.

[azmouse]

3. McBush doesn't have the flag on his plane either.

Heard this on Olbermann last week.

[peaches2003]

4. He does according to a picture I found googling

maybe he just put it on there, I don't know.

[azmouse]

11. That's quite possible.

If McBush was caught being hypocritical about this they may have done a quick paint job.

[NatBurner]

5. they pride themselves on stupid shit like this

[tridim]

10. It's almost as if they're proud of their ignorance.

To quote Obama.

[liberal N proud]

12. They are

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. That is a classic statement. Obama hit a home run with that one.

[rsmith6621]

6. McSame Used An Aircraft

.....Made in Brazil up until a month ago........Now he uses a 737-400 which guzzles GAS like crazy...unlike the Obama 757.

[Born_A_Truman]

7. Why do they hate Snopes? n/t

[rufus dog]

8. send the haters to snopes

It won't change their mind but at least it may make them think.

[liberal N proud]

9. Snopes explains it

http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/airplane.asp

Also has pic of McCain's White, Blue and Yellow plane without a flag!




I would have thought the calling him out in Barea Ohio on the Pledge of Allegiance would have killed the Obama hates the flag meme.

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. Didn't McCain have plane with no flag recently?

Anyway, it's all so superficial.

Who cares?

[oviedodem]

15. Honestly, Obama's people are idiots. Why could they not just leave the

flag on the tail and put to "O" symbol everywhere else. They should know that the republicans will use "ANY" opening possible.

One word:

DUMB!!

[LittleClarkie]

16. That's the point. They'd use anything.

Even things that aren't there. Why run scared.

[tridim]

17. I think you missed some extra 1's in your "DUMB!!" comment

Seriously, what you just said is fucking idiotic. The Obama camp can do whatever they want.
BTW, there is a flag on the plane if you just open your eyes and look.

[WeDidIt]

18. The DUMB thing is suggesting Obama use a REGISTERED TRADEMARK

What's DUMB is a person who doesn't check the FACTS.

The stylized flag is a REGISTERED TRADEMARK of North American Airlines.

The standard flag image next to the plane numbers remains.

Get the FACTS straight.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

20. lulz

[BornBlue]

35. Umm, snopes said

that the flag was a registered tradmark of the company they leased the plane from, so that would be why they took it off...

[Ganja Ninja]

19. If Republicans had a record of proud accomplishment they ...

wouldn't have to run a campaign about nothing. They could stand up and loudly proclaim that they caught bin Laden. They could brag about their fiscal conservatism and how they balanced the budget. They could pat themselves on the back, stick out their chest and tell everyone they brought affordable health care to all Americans. They could proclaim to the world that they have led America away from fossil fuels and set an example for all nations. They could claim the gratitude of the American people for making us stronger, safer, better educated, healthier and more prosperous. But sadly they've done none of that. In fact they've made every facet of life worse for Americans and the people of the world in general. That's why they have to use the campaign tactics they use, because they have been a total, complete, disastrous failure.

[Gabi Hayes]

21. hahahahaaa....a Seinfeld campaign!

great post, btw, which would make a great ad

pass it on!

[AngryAmish]

22. What racist pieces of shit they are

[Heather MC]

25. Didn't you hear, black people can't possibly love America

because of Slavery, Jim Crow Laws, Lynchings
of course women can't love America either
because of being treated like property
Not getting fair pay, sexual harrassment

The only group who can properly love America the way she deserves to be loved
are White Male Land Owners who Vote Republican no matter what!

got it
:sarcasm:

[Heather MC]

23. I think he should get a giant flag tattooed over his entire body

and do the same to his family
that should stop it!
:sarcasm:

[ObamaIL]

29. lol...He Should Wear some Liberace Style Flag Suit Maybe

I mean this flag stuff is pathetic.

[Heather MC]

31. I know have Flava flav design and American Flag Diamond Grill

for Obama and Michelle
and every time he opens his mouth the national anthem plays

[Renew Deal]

24. His plane is flown by North American. They are big RNC donors.

Ask them.

[Renew Deal]

26. The flag is hidden behind the wing in the one picture.

[peaches2003]

27. Thank you

The picture I had seen on a rw nutjob site was the one on the top with the flag obscured. It was posted on that website as the 'picture of the day' with which to attack Obama. I just pointed out that the flag is hidden by the wing and asked the moderator to remove the picture and comment which is incorrect. However, this will be the kiss of death and I will be kicked off the message board (again). They do not tolerate dissent which must be why they love Bush and McBush so much.

[ObamaIL]

28. We Should Attack That McCain's Flag is Too Small

Dumbass argument the McCains want...someone mentioned distraction.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

30. I'm so sick of this s*it. This is NOT what Americans care about in the election.

Why does the media talk about this?

It's total crap.

[harun]

34. Anything they can get that doesn't deal with a real issue, they run with it.

Whether it is Paris vs. McCain, tire pressure, drilling, etc. Any non-issue is broadcast far and wide.

No Iraq, no cost of education, no jobs discussion, no health care discussion, nothing of consequence is being discussed at all.

[OwnedByFerrets]

32. As was pointed out recently, they pride themselves on

being ignorant. What was left out is that the are proud of being stupid too.

[peaches2003]

33. Had a reply from the conservative wacko website

The excuse for saying Obama's plane has no American flag on it, when it clearly does, is that the flag next to the plane's #s is a requirement of the FAA, so it doesn't count. He should have another US flag on the plane to prove he really is patriotic.

[Hope And Change]

36. It has been debunked in this thread...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=284x493

[XemaSab]

37. And if he HAD a flag thay'd say he was already pretending to be the president

a la Air Force One. :eyes:
