UPDATE: 9/8/08 Today the Obama campaign is saying that they were going to use the flags at another event. Really, then how come it took two days to figure that out? And there were 13,000 people there not 10,000. the Colorado Springs Gazette cannot keep the number right even in articles on the same page.
UPDATE: 9/7/08The Obama campaign is saying today that the flags were going to be donated. Really, so they didn’t know that yesterday. What they said they knew was that they were stolen. Humm, at least $5,000-10,000 worth of American flags are “stolen” and there is not a police report anywhere! liars.
The Democrat party bragged about having a “green” convention, but they put 12,000 American flags in garbage! They didn’t recycle them they put the flags in the TRASH. Some alert Colorado veterans saved them and brought them to today’s McCain Victory rally in Colorado Springs. The veterans then handed them out to an eager crowd. The flags were waving and the songs of patriotism were playing load and clear!
Now the Democrat party claims that the flags were STOLEN! According to Fox News, 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.
“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.
Of course the great Obama would never do any thing to disgrace the American Flag. The problem with this lie is that some of the falgs could not be used because they were found soiled from the GARBAGE by American Veterans. The Boy scouts had to go through the bags of American flags separating them from the garbage. This kind of disrespect for our COUNTRY shows that the Obama campaign is an angry hate America and apologize to the world agenda that will cost him the election. Yes, I question Obama’s patriotism and the Democrat party’s agenda to destroy our freedom.
The Democrats will not stand for us, they already advocated retreat and defeat in Iraq. They said ‘THE WAR IS LOST!” They to this day cannot say that the surge is a SUCCESS and VICTORY is at hand. They were wrong on Iraq and they are wrong about our country being, according to Michelle Obama, “A down right mean place.”
These images of today’s victory rally in Colorado Springs show that this country still cares about our flag and all that it stands for!

Stolen? Yeah right. Now blame the boy scouts for stealing your flag trash!
The Obama camp just keeps on stepping in it!!!
So…why did the Obama Team choose not to recycle the flags for the next convention? Wasteful Spending. Let the Rich pay for new flags. This is a disgrace. I hope the Media takes this all the way to November . This is a very serious election. If Obama is elected we are in serious serious trouble. Everyone vote! War times are not fun. War Presidents take the heat. No President wants to be President in a time of War. We CANNOT SHAKE THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY. This is very very serious and dangerous times. Have you liberals already forgotten 911? Of course things are not perfect…but we don’t have war or Blowing Up going on here in the USA. Everything that the USA stands for you want to change. PEOPLE DIE Everyday trying to get to AMERICA. In God We Trust.
your freedom has already been destroyed by bush, cheney, and rove. they have stepped on the constitution and you fall for it. the flags were stolen and also were taken back by secret service and WERE NOT USED. get your facts straight before you spout more right wing BS. now go PREY THE GAY AWAY with sarah palin and here knocked up daugher.

You must be pretty crazy to think that every replica of the American flag ever made that is not an actual, full sized flagpole-flag is saved by everyone, Democrat and Republican alike. The logistics of that are impossible. It’s unfortunate that people believe Fox News so blindly, and they back up Fox’s stories with links to other right/far-right leaning websites that when looked at deeper, offer no definitive proof one way or the other. Fox’s sources are unnamed, and Red State’s pictures are from before the convention.
well the real obama comes out and shows his true colors i swear he is nothing more than a snake in the grass i hate him biden is a drunk obama and biden can rot in hell MCCAIN AND PALIN ALLTHE WAY IN 08
Is anyone surprised? At the same event, the crowd had credentials with an upside down flag behind a photo of Osama-Obama. An upside-down flag is the universal symbol of distress. It is an insult to the flag except in a true emergency, such as a ship in imminent danger of sinking. See the photo, courtesy of KUSA-TV (Denver) and related story at http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=72802 .
This Story was created by John Keitel ….as a stupid attack on the Obama Camp..ANYONE who who believes it should Toss themselves off Pikes Peak.
Any ‘news’ story with the name FOX news nowadays is usually a lie….
The Gazette should be ashamed of themselves for posting this article!!
This story was not “created” to say so is questioning the character of the American Veterans and Boy Scouts.
The Obama camp has been caught throwing away, not recycling, perfectly good, unused, American Flags.
Yesterday they said they were stolen. Today the story is they were going to be donated. Why didn’t they know that yesterday? How come the thousands of dollars worth of “stolen” flags were not reported “Stolen”?
Or is that too much common sense for you?
When is a flag a “real” flag? When is it a “replica?”
Are stitched flags “real” and printed flags are “replicas?”
One part of the Flag Code says Any substance, Any part thereof, Any size, seen by the average person, and believed to be the flag…
Yet a Boy Scout manual says printed flags are “replicas.”
hmmm… anyone have documents…other than hearsay?
