In Palin's 8 minute video - she has the U.S. Flag displayed incorrectly
the stripes of the flag are supposed to be going the other way.
She claims to love the American flag but doesn't even know the rules on how to properly display it.

2. I thot the flag looked like it was photoshopped into the pic.
It looks to me like the flag is flowing with a light breeze. It doesn't seem to hang down right.

3. I thought so too
Even the edge of the fireplace looks weird against the flag.

5. The flag is behind the edge of the fireplace, that's why it looks strange

I thought that edge was weird too.
But if you look closely the stones of the fireplace are in front of the flag.
It's an optical illusion - the eye take you to the edge of the flag making it look like the edge of the flag is cut funny, but look/focus closely at the stones (instead of the flag edge) and you'll see what's really up.

See photo of flag here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/12/sarah-palin-arizona-shooting-statement_n_807833.html

4. I thought the line where the fireplace stone was overlying the flag looked
unnatural. I betcha it is photoshopped in. I don't usually even see these things, but it stood out like a sore thumb.

7. My assistant and I both think the way the flag drapes is hinky too.
