Putting country first heh? What a bunch of crooks. In other words, typical Republicans.

Will McCain assist in the criminal investigation? Is McCain a conspirator?

4. This story was just reported on Denver's KMGH TV and they said the flags were stolen.
I looked at KMGH's web site and they don't have any info on it. ON TV they showed the rolled up flags. The flags later appeared at some McCain event. Just saw this at the start of the 10 o'clock news.

I agree, these flags were not going to be thrown away. The whole thing is a mess. But, hopefully some Republican will be arrested or news organizations will figure out the actual truth.

3. just posted this..
they have been showing a picture on CNN, it looks like some people must spent a lot of time rolling these flags up in order to re-use them before putting them in these bags, if you was planning on throwing them in the trash they would not look this way, this is just more bullshit from the disgusting GOP! What are they suppose to put them in in order to re-use them later?

Suggestions? :shrug:

5. Found KMGH's link to the story
http://www.thedenverchannel.com/politics/17410640/detail.html

We distributed more than 125,000 American made flags at the Convention. The flags removed from Invesco field were intended for other events and taken without permission," Wyeth said. "It's disappointing that someone would take American flags without authorization and then falsely describe how they were being used. We have the utmost respect for the American flag, and it’s sad to see them being used for a cheap political stunt."

Veterans distributed the flags, but were forced to take them back after the Secret Service objected, citing security concerns.

The flags were handed out to members of the crowd outside the hanger where McCain spoke.

“We want to find good homes for these flags,” radio host Dan Caplis said at the rally, adding that whatever flags remained would be placed at memorials throughout Colorado.

---------
Note, This "radio host" Dan Caplis is a complete jerk.
