The Photo the right-wing doesn't want you to see

[rust1d]

Much hash has been flung over the picture of Obama without hand over heart. This picture is sure to break some right-wingers hearts as it takes the umphf out of their arguement....

1. Nice find

File that and email it to the Obama campaign

[roguevalley]

53. My grandpa, a WWI vet would stand even in the house if the

anthem was played. What is this shit hand over the heart stuff? I can remember when we just stood. Obama is honoring the flag by standing, just as HIS grandpa taught him.

[babylonsister]

2. I so wish the m$m would pick up on that; good find! Rec'd! nt

[merh]

27. See post 23

an official photo :evilgrin:

[merh]

57. thank you

I wish I had thought of that :blush:

[AZBlue]

50. I'm feeling in a "forwarding" mood -

I think I do need to share this with some media outlets.....

[NewJeffCT]

3. good find

maybe Olbermann could use it?

[New Earth]

4. someone or a group of people

need to put one thread together to counter any and all of the stupid 'smears' on Obama. This pic for the whole 'unpatriotic' thing, the pics of other leaders dressed in foreign clothing, what the name "Hussein" means and that he is named after his father, etc. I don't mean just here at DU *for* DU, but a resource for people to use to defend him in other places.

Anyone up to this? I would like to do it or help but I'm at work right now, it's just an idea.

[Oilwellian]

5. Tee hee

Oops! :D

On edit: I bet Keith would show it.

[BrklynLiberal]

6. Goose and gander, so to speak. The Repukes' tunnel vision is laughable.

[chieftain]

7. Thanks for finding this. (eom)

[GreenPartyVoter]

8. LOL

[City Lights]

9. Please send that to media outlets, and to John "Jack" Heddons Kingston!

Nice find. :thumbsup:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

28. yes this needs to be sent to the media!

[TheDoorbellRang]

10. There was another picture posted last week that showed W

with his hand over his stomach instead of his heart. That picture and this one would make a good pair.

[workinclasszero]

11. Bush is obviously a muslim traitor trying to takeover Merika!!11!!

Great find! :thumbsup:

[peace13]

12. Unfortunately ...

Yes he is. This picture might work though. Peace, Kim

[Jackpine Radical]

13. This photo is irrevalant!

It means something entirely different when a loyal Murkn Prezdint does this an when some Hussein Osama guy does. Fur awl u no, maybe Prezdint Boosh was usin that hand to keep his finger on the button er sumpin important lak dat.

(Edited to uncorrect an inadvertently correctly spelled word)

[unapatriciated]

14. The irony of this thread is that G.H.W. IS an unpatriotic terrorist loving traitor...

:rofl:

But I don't think Obama is

[BenDavid]

15. either one can stand at attention with hands to the side or

stand with right hand over heart, but always in teh direction of the flag and if no flag towards the band, and if no band the music, but there is nothing in the r&r that tells one to stand with ones hands clasped. This is not correct and obama was wrong in doing this....but Richardson was wrong too and I have no idea what the hell he was looking at...

[14thColony]

18. Clearly...

...you were or are military. That's just too accurate a recitation of the rules. You're right on all counts, except of course none of the above is actually obligatory for a civilian, but only advisory.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

33. no pin!

[JanusAscending]

58. When I was a kid,

we always stood up for the National Anthem,but we never put our hands on our hearts. We did when we recited the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. I too stood up at home and on the seats in Movie theaters when I was little, and couldn't see the Flag on the screen because of the "big people" in front of me!!! Now it seems that Military and vets Salute the flag. I don't know when the hands on hearts started!????

[ericgtr]

16. What was Rerun doing hanging out with Bush Sr.?

[Irishonly]

17. Great Find N/T

[merh]

19. Isn't this a photo of poppy & BC during the anthem at the superbowl?

Noise, all it is is noise

[merh]

40. When you have no heart

it's hard to guess where to put your hand...

[David Zephyr]

20. Excellent catch!

Everyone needs to email this photo to their friends. I will be putting it out this weekend to hundreds and asking them to also pass it along.

[merh]

23. How about this one - from a government website of all places

Photo: President Bush and Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi Stand for National Anthem

[babylonsister]

35. Oye! Another great find! But not a peep about this when

everyone was going after Obama. :grr:

[merh]

37. If there were true journalists out there, they would have found

this image and either killed that story or posted it in contrast.

I found it by googling images with the query "bush anthem" - how hard was that?

[uppityperson]

39. Good find merh

Hiya, glad to see you here and thanks for posting these. Hope things are going ok down there. I am SO looking forward to getting these bozos gone and starting to slow down the damage.

[merh]

48. thanks are good

it will take years to rebuild the way it was, we all have just grown use to what is now.

Now that I don't live in the fema trailer, things are much better.

thanks for asking - hope all is well in your world. :hi: :pals:

[MaineDem]

41. Could be it's the Japanese national anthem being played?

Why would Koizumi "salute" like that during the US anthem?

Just asking... Not that it makes * any less obnoxious.

[merh]

42. It is displayed at the US Gov site and it doesn't say during `

Japanese anthem - so I doubt it - go check out the site yourself.

Better still, go check the internets to see if that is a Japanese custom, covering the heart and all that.

I can't find any images of it.

[MaineDem]

45. I was just asking. n/t

[workinclasszero]

44. Ah HA! Another Bush traitor pikture...hes a mooslim terraist

fer sure! Aleart the intranets! We got ourselves an invasion of Merka!1!!11!:nuke:

[lumberjack_jeff]

47. He doesn't have to, see? Everyone's saluting him. n/t

[workinclasszero]

43. We all ready sent it to my wifes racist hater Rethug uncle

Can't wait to see his spittle spewing, head exploding response!:rofl:

E mail it to every rethug you know!:)

[debatepro]

22. Very nice.

:kick:

[rasputin1952]

24. One more thing...nest time you see McCain bouncing all over

the place...please point out where his American Flag Lapel Pin is...:D

Damned if I can see one, considering the RW states this is the only way to detect a patriot.

[NastyRiffraff]

25. Great finds!

I support Hillary, but I think the hand-over-heart/lapel button flap is just silly.

Oh, and then there's this:

Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) has always been one of my favorite buffoons in Congress. No one trick pony, he's been putting in long moron hours for years up on the Hill and on the chat shows. But it was a particular tour de force even for Jack when he showed up last night on MSNBC to bash Barack Obama for not wearing a flag lapel ... without remembering to wear one himself ...

Active military, in civilian clothes, are instructed to stand at attention when the national anthem is played.

With their hands at their sides.
