Since these flags have the likeness of Obama does this count as U.S. Flag desecration or does it count as a different flag altogether? One thing is for certain one does get the meaning the owner had in mind; at least I do.

as revolting as it is to see his face on a pseudo American flag, I dont see it as desecration in any sense. Bad taste? Yes. Anyone who admires, almost worships, a mere human being with dispalys like this, need some fricking help.

GRAYMAN

I'm with Grayman on this... I've spoken out on this subject many, many times before. Whatever someone does to their own flag is no skin off my nose. Since every flag is only a symbol, whatever someone else does to it doesn't effect my personal freedoms one iota.

Funny there is no hint of where it comes from. Maybe from a **** disturber?

OK, here it is.

Wanda...nope! I'd rather tell you how someone I love took a 9mm to his head and will be buried tomorrow. No..it wasn't Richard. A family member. Otherwise....I have nothing to say. Taunting will not work. But you can try...I am in NO MOOD for this...

Personally, I find it offensive that you refer to our Commander in Chief in so disrespectful and inaccurate a manner.

Was it OK for Bush to be taunted in such a fashion on these forums?

If you don't want the world to know, then I suggest you keep your (paranoid) comments on the down and low, and off the public forum.

(And my condolences on your family member.... )

Thank You Wanda! Really mean that. I am not hiding this. I have joined "OUT OF THE DARKNESS" for victims of suicide. As an 'aside' for anyone that takes psychotropic medication....Please be aware of Medication Side-Effects and Drug Interactions. This includes AMBIEN! God Bless!

Who did this and YES it is flag defacing and is against the law.


Where is a link article to back this up so I know it's not a photoshop. A PICTURE of a flag is NOT the FLAG so it's a different story. I will not tolerate this if this is real.

the link above states this news came from
free republic so I went to them and searched out the post
now this post states

quote:

A seller on eBay has been offering American flags with the stars removed from the blue field and President Barack Obama's face inserted, and outraged bloggers have promised to track the banners down.

No link to this so called sale mind you --just the "outrage"
So i went to ebay and searched obama flag and guess what? no such flag came up.
More damn blog claims that are being posted here as if "I read it -- and its bad about obama it must be true"
Why cant you folks grow up and stick to things that are true and at least research the stuff you post so you do not look like partisan hacks?

Is this faked?

and how is that different than the flag being cut up for bush above?
What i am saying is this whole thread was started on fake outrage over a blog post that had nothing at all to back it up.

Oooooo... what are you going to do, send an angry letter? Because that's about all you can do; no authority will lift a finger about this.



Anybody have any idea when the last time anyone in this country was convicted for flag desecration? It's been 20 years since the Supreme Court ruled on Texas v. Johnson (overturning his conviction and invalidating the prohibition of flag desecration).

"Recognizing that the right to differ is the centerpiece of our First Amendment freedoms, a government cannot mandate by fiat a feeling of unity in its citizens. Therefore that very same government cannot carve out a symbol of unity and prescribe a set of approved messages to be associated with that symbol . . ."

- Texas Court of Criminal Appeals

And a little lesson about how good photoshop is...

This is a photoshop hackjob of Sarah Palin



Here's the real image side by side with the photoshopped one.



So, knowing how good photoshop is at creating realistic "fake" photos, you tell me... is the picture of that Obama Flag real, or faked?

Here's something else I've found out. According to the Websites that are claiming this is true:

http://blogs.dailymail.com/donsurber/archives/1333

"The Obama flag is available on eBay for only $4.99"

Then they give you a link to "eBay" as follows:

http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390080162883

Note the "sg" after ebay.com... that signifies this site is eBay SINGAPORE. Also, if you follow the link, you will find the listing has ended. There's no photo or anything of what the flag looked like.

I went to eBay (the American site) and there is no such listing for an "Obamanation Flag". I even tried linking simply Obama and Flag and got bupkiss.

>>http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/news/we061106.htm
"In 2003, President Bush autographed a flag during a stop in Michigan. That put him in violation of U.S. Code Title 4, Chapter 1, Section 8 (g): "The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it, any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture or drawing of any nature."


>>http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagetiq.html
"September 11, 2006, President Bush and first lady Laura Bush stand on a carpet of the American flag at Ground Zero in Manhattan, the site of the September 11, 2001 attack. Section 8b of the Flag Code reads, " The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground..."
Now please note -- these where acts done by the CIC not by others.

Let's clear some air.

1. Yes, unfortunately there is some sort of Obama "cult" that worships the ground he walks on, just as there are those who are convinced that GWB could do no wrong. These folks are generally found in the same trailer parks as those who have recently had Elvis sightings.

2. There is NO connection between President Obama, the Democratic Party, the Federal Government or other official entities and these nutballs. Some here seem to think Obama has some control over this - he does not. ANYONE can take a photo (out of the probably millions online) and do whatever with it. The Palin Photoshop example is perfect.

That said, get a grip and move on. This is a non-issue.

Here you go ... sale has ended though so you are too late to buy.
