Where's the flag lapel pin?


That's the question that's been asked of Barack Obama by those, mostly Republicans, who question his patriotism. But note in this picture, John McCain doesn't have a flag pin on. Does that mean he's not a patriot? Of course not. A lapel pin doesn't make one a patriot, any more than wearing flag themed shorts!

You're expected to actually wear the flag on your person to express your love for your country? We just wear a smile. Obama has a pretty nice one.

What is interesting about this is that the Republicans have made a big thing about Obama's lack of a flag pin, but McCain, like most of us doesn't wear one. What we want to make sure is that this doesn't become an issue in the ongoing attempt to question Obama's patriotism/loyalty to nation. They whole GOP America First thing at the Convention is a key example of all of this.

Sorry - I did understand all that, my comment was in disgust at the Repubs and cynical. Not very clever in retrospect as it's a tactic employed by Palin and the Repubs.
