GOP ‘Hero’ Who ‘Saved’ Flag Also Posed Nude With It Dragging The Ground (PHOTOS)

http://reverbpress.com/news/michelle-manhart-posed-nude-with-flag/

By now you’ve undoubtedly heard the story of Michelle Manhart, the conservative “hero” who was recently detained by police after trying to save an American flag from being desecrated by protestors. You may have also heard that she was once in the military but quit after being punished for posing nude in Playboy. What you may not have heard about, though, is her own history of flag desecration.

For those who have yet to hear the story, Michelle Manhart, a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, was tipped off that protestors at Valdosta State University in Georgia were trampling the American flag into the ground as part of a protest. Being the heroic former soldier she is, Manhart just had to show up and save the flag.

The corollary being that many DUers will automatically condemn her for this association being just as likely.

Six of one, half a dozen of other-- and each as petulantly irrelevant as the other...

or drape it on herself. Too bad she is ignorant like most wingers about the flag code, you know the ones that wear it as clothing.

I knew this was some scheme to get her name in the news. But what got me was after the segment was done, the anchor injects his opinion before moving on to the next story. He said something like... "just don't step on the flag and there wouldn't be any problems". I thought it was odd the anchor would give his opinion whether he agreed with it or not. I should send him an email with this newly discovered info.

Thanks for posting.
