Radio host Bob Grant asserted that Obama created an " 'O' flag,"

[Nitrogenica]

Radio host Bob Grant asserted that Obama created an " 'O' flag," but apparent flag in question was Ohio's.

Summary: Radio host Bob Grant asserted that Sen. Barack Obama "is not content with just having several American flags, plain old American flags with the 50 states represented by 50 stars. He has the 'O' flag." However, the flag to which Grant apparently referred was actually the Ohio state flag.

On the October 15 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Bob Grant said: "hat is that flag that Obama's been standing in front of that looks like an American flag, but instead of having the field of 50 stars representing the 50 states, there's a circle?" He then said: "Is the circle the 'O' for Obama? Is that what it is?" Grant later said: "id you notice Obama is not content with just having several American flags, plain old American flags with the 50 states represented by 50 stars? He has the 'O' flag. And that's what that 'O' is. That's what that 'O' is. Just like he did with the plane he was using. He had the flag painted over, and the 'O' for Obama. Now, these are symptom -- these things are symptomatic of a person who would like to be a potentate -- a dictator." '

Grant did not further elaborate on what he meant by the " 'O' flag." However, conservative blogger Michelle Malkin stated on October 13 that she had "received several e-mails today from readers complaining about Barack Obama's backdrop in Toledo today. Apparently, some talk show hosts have also gone ballistic over what they think is an 'Obama flag.' " But, as Malkin noted, the flag appearing behind Obama during his October 13 speech was actually the Ohio state flag.

3. I wish that I could recommend this post. Hell, I wish I could broadcast it.

You've summed up my exact feelings about the right wing in one sentence.

29. You could put what he said in the mouth of "Granny" of Beverly Hillbillies...

....you know, stamping her foot, clinching her fists and hopping up and down.

It would be a typical laugh line for that show! Jed would have to calm her down as she rambled on..........

[graywarrior]

1. OMG. Stupid people are allowed to speak in public

[rateyes]

2. What a bunch of idiots!

Good Gawd Almighty.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

4. All they can do is froth.

It's like the entire right-wing is in a cognitive grand mal seizure, flailing about, slinging snot and spit and pissing their pants.

Does anyone know if any cases of ergotamine have been reported of late, in clusters?

5. LOL, this is too funny.

I suppose I should be outraged, not laughing hysterically, but HOLY CRAP!!!1 they have become caricatures of themselves, right out of central casting. :crazy:

9. Another "shit for brains" republican moran.

[TahitiNut]

10. I must admit I wondered whether anyone would be STUPID enough to thnk that when I first saw Obama

... with the Ohio state flag in the backdrop. As a long-time Michigander (once married to a buckeye), I am of course quite familiar with the Ohio state flag, having seen it flying over the statehouse in Columbus on numerous occasions and having received the kind of DECENT PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATION once common in the 1950s.

I guess I'm still naive ... I really didn't think ANYONE would be SO FUCKING STUPID to actually make such a claim in the media. I guess it's impossible to underestimate the gross stupidity of the reichbot talking pie-holes.

[Withywindle]

27. Hell, even in the 70s and 80s

when I was a kid, public school education was on its way down, but I was introduced to the concept of "state flags" pretty early on. Not even close to being able to identify them all, but I would assume if an elected official is speaking on a stage with flags I don't recognize, CHANCES ARE....


This clown would go ballistic if someone explained to him about CITY flags--hell, the Chicago flag flies at the same height as the US flag in lots of places around here....Oooo, Mayor Daley's a despot* staging a coup...

(*True in a sense. I suspect at some point in his career someone whispered in his ear about a Presidential run and he said no because he thought it would be a step down.)

11. Grant is a veteran fool and malicious idiot.

Wiki:

>>>>Grant's long stay at WABC ended when he was fired for a remark about the April 3, 1996 airplane crash involving Commerce Secretary Ron Brown. Grant remarked to caller Carl Limbacher, "My hunch is is the one survivor. I just have that hunch. Maybe it's because at heart I'm a pessimist." When Brown was found dead, Grant's comments were widely criticized, and his contract was terminated.<3>>>>>[br />

I believe actually that he said that the prospect of Brown's death in the crash was "delicious."

Wiki is being kind.

Or dishonest.
