Vets angry over American flag featuring Obama
WFTV posted:
Van Beck found it flying outside Lake County Democratic headquarters under the stars and stripes. Marine Corps vet John Masterjohn was seeing red.
Nearly a dozen veterans went to the door and aimed to take it down.
"No. This is private property. This is private property. You're not allowed to touch anything. I'll call the police," Democratic Party chairwoman Nancy Hulbert said. "Just went online. Just went online and looked up the flag code. There is no higher-up in Lake County. I'm responsible. I take responsibility."
The flag, which features a picture of President Obama, was taken down Tuesday afternoon.

Is it still an American flag if it doesn't have the stars on it? Doesn't it have to have the stars and bars on it to be an American Flag? I don't understand the outrage.

Korean war veteran Don Van Beck said his blood was boiling.
"I can't describe how upset was because you just don't do that to the American flag," Van Beck said.
Van Beck found it flying outside Lake County Democratic headquarters under the stars and stripes. Marine Corps vet John Masterjohn was seeing red.
"Joseph Stalin, pictures of Mao, pictures of Adolph Hitler. The pomp, the ceremony -- the flags like that," Masterjohn said.
They probably have their reasons for being upset. Probably reminds them of fascism.

If it's private property do those people have to adhere to the flag code?

Agreed.
It doesn't say anywhere that any veteran touched the flag property of the Democrat party.
Just wanted to clarify whose flag it belonged to flying over the Democrat Party's property.
The veterans merely knocked on the door and pointed out the irony.

I didn't realize we advocated vigilante justice for violating flag etiquette. Are these proud patriots going to run around and rip the American flag mesh shirts off of hillbillies or the hats and tshirts on Teahadists?

It's only an outrage when it's something you don't like.

If they want to fly an Obama flag on private property, who cares? It's like any other free speech issue. I don't really see it as that "offensive" when people go around wearing clothing made out of a flag pattern, have "patriotic" stylized flags and the like.
Now, if they flew it ABOVE the US flag, that would be different, but that's another issue.

They put his face on the flag? Are they fucking stupid? You don't get to pay troops less than minimum wage to risk their lives for the flag and then mock the flag.
Hopefully some of the old vets go full clocktower on these idiots for this.

unless theres a second page, or maybe more of the story under one of the pretty pictures, im not seeing where it says she took it down.
can you point it out?

Yes, killing people in cold blood because of a flag seems like the logical course.

Hell, if I polished the poll I could get a couple dozen Ron Paul supporters in with the rednecks...due to their uncontrollable urge to lick shiny objects.

Tych is right it ceased to be an american flag once they changed it. There are tons of derivative flags out there. I'm as patriotic as they get but this is a stupid rant.
