The Recycled Flags of the DNCC
Does this tale speak at all to the patriotism of conventioneers or the DNC? Or is it merely the picture of a lapse in judgment?
Personally, I'm going with 'lapse in judgment.' But, for the life of me, I can't understand why conventioneers wouldn't take their flags home as souvenirs.
The Obama camps' story was both unnecessary and, by all appearances, a fabrication. As I said, 'Unnecessary'... what conventioneers do with what's given them is not the responsibility of the Obama camp, or the DNC. But it still makes for good attack-fodder for the McCain camp.
In my estimation the Obama camp made a mistake by releasing a statement that sought to mitigate their responsibility by accusing the McCain camp of theft of property. All they should have said was... assuming they should have said anything at all... is that they are not responsible for what their delegates deem to be trash; that neither Obama nor his staff condone what was done or excuse it. You can bet the DNC will be more careful in the future.
This is not a huge scandal... more like an embarrassing inconvenience for the Obama campaign. Especially since they took ownership of the situation by crafting a coverup for it.
So. Does this incident speak to the patriotism of individual conventioneers? It doesn't speak to Obama's, but what about the delegates and the DNC?
Your deparateness keep showing. Give up. Surrender!! Come on over the Tent of Truth; it's getting bigger all the time.
When are the Obama worshippers going to learn? he is too incompetent to be President.
