Surrounded by columns vs. Standing on our flag
Remember the petty outrage by the republicans regarding the columns on stage at Obama's acceptance speech? Why not play back a bit rough and point out that according to a sneak preview of the republican stage in St. Paul, it appears McCain will accept his party's nomination while standing on the red and white stripes of old glory.

Should there be outrage at their disrespect shown to our flag?

1. Not a very impressive setting, if you ask me.
Kind of like their "leadership" :eyes: ... NOT IMPRESSIVE!

(And that's being very generous on my part.)

3. It's not disrespectful when Republiklans do it.

(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform.
