A party of veterans descended upon a democrat headquarters in Florida and demanded it be removed. It's a cult of personality to show his face, like Stalin or Mao," John Masterjohn, a former Marine and retired schoolteacher from Leesburg, told the Orlando Sentinel. "It's despicable. They don't realize how sick they are." I really don't care what party it is. If it had been a picture of Romney on the flag, I would have done the same thing.

I've watched this make the rounds the last couple days.
It is one of those things I've seen people on ALL sides of the spectrum a bit pissed off about and disapproving of. Big time. For varying reasons.

Yeah, defacing a flag for your candidate is a pretty dumb thing to do.
They should have put his picture on the Gadsden flag instead just for the lulz.

Indeed someone did.
I agree with being offended though. It's an inappropriate defacement of the American Flag. You really shouldn't mess with Old Glory.

All the people bitching about it in the story probably have a US flag patch on the ass of their ripped jeans.

Is is tacky but I have trouble getting angry about it. Let me tell you, as someone with a lot of experience in this area there are better things to hate on.

The people doing this are assclowns of the same level as the militant atheists dressing as pope/muhammad, as westboro church, and cell phone users in theaters.
They are all self absorb shitbirds that seek to piss people off. They will eventually cross the wrong person and their fun time is going to become painful.

It is simple, the flag is red, white and blue not red white and black.

This bothers me.
But I call shenanigans on anyone who doesn't protest the use of the flag in commercial enterprises generally speaking - like say Fox news programming.
Both are equally offensive.

That flag idea wasn't a very good one. Protesting it seems pretty silly, though.
Here's a flag I wouldn't mind pulling down...
