American Flag on the Ground Following Sen. McCain Rally

A NewsChannel 5 Photojournalist shot video of a crew taking down the American flag after Sen. McCain's campaign rally in New Town-St. Charles Monday.

In the video, you see the crane lower the flag to the ground and then a crewman cut rope connected to the flag.

The photojournalist stopped recording the video and approached the crew. They had no response to his questions about how the flag was handled.

NewsChannel 5 has a crew working on this story. We are seeking comment from Sen. McCain's campaign.

1. This would be all over Drudge if it were an Obama rally.

2. Yup.

5. Bingo

That's the point.

3. It has nothing to do with McSame

His campaign isn't responsible for how crews hired by the venue act.

We don't need this kind of cheap tactic. Leave to the Repugs.

6. And do we recall all of those American flags from the DNC being "thrown away"

in green trash bags?

Fox got at least a day or two of mileage out of that BS piece.

4. Is it a McCain crew? No? Then who cares?

What a hyped up non-story from TV.

7. I want to hear McCain repudiate this!

8. You obviously don't understand the implications of this.

By this dispicable act of desecration of the flag, McCain has flaunted the profound disrespect he has for America. etc. etc. etc., if I was a good little freeper I could probably keep that up until Skinner's server ran out of space.

12. Hyped-up story?

This is HUGH111 Who are these anti-Americans associated with the McCain campaign, and how long as he been using them to disrespect our flag? How much did McCain pay these 'anti-Americans' who oversaw the event? Is John McCain palling around with a rabid group that desecrate our flag? Is this why John McCain doesn't wear a flag pin?

9. Disrespect.

They won't even allow the pic to be shown.

10. McCain's camp doesn't care who it hires to do campaign work. Flag desecrators,

anybody... even Joe the plumber didn't pay his taxes or have a license to do his work.

11. Wow, what a non-story this.
