Well, it seems that some Republican trash collectors saw all the flags carelessly trampled underfoot and tossed into the garbage at the DNC convention. So, they made a concerted effort to dig them out of the trash and put them to good use – for John McCain’s rally today in Colorado Springs!!!!!!
One comment from a “John H.” following the article pretty much summed things up:
“Typical of Democrats to trash the flag. I am quite surprised they did not have a flag burning ceremony after the DNC convention. As an American, I am very dissappointed in the Democrat’s call to “save the planet”, yet attempt to fill our landfills with what they call trash, in this case, The American Flag.
And they wonder why MANY people question their patriotism?”
This updates our previous mention of this (with pictures) at the end of our Missouri rally report last Sunday [HERE], where we showed the differences between Obama’s trash and McCain’s trash.
Ronin and I would just like to extend a huge, well deserved “thank you!!!!” to those REAL Americans who respected our American Flag enough to dig through tons of Obama-nation garbage to retrieve them. Job well done!!!

This morning, Republicans tell me that a worker at Invesco Field in Denver saved thousands of unused flags from the Democratic National Convention that were headed for the garbage. Guerrilla campaigning. They will use these flags at their own event today in Colorado Springs with John McCain and Sarah Palin.
Before McCain speaks today, veterans will haul these garbage bags filled with flags out onto the stage — with dramatic effect, no doubt — and tell the story.
“What you see in the picture I sent you is less than half of total flags,” a Republican official emailed. “We estimate the total number to be around 12,000 small flags and one full size 3×5 flag.”
I’m not sure what the DNC was supposed to do with unused hand-flags, frankly. But the Republicans are obviously questioning someone’s patriotism here.
