Etiquette Faux Pas or How Much She Respects the Flag / Country?

[Freewill]

Of course, the flag code also specifically prohibits using the flag on clothing, except for a lapel pin or small shoulder patch on a uniform.

So, when the righties here start calling people out for wearing the flag on clothing, I'll stop pointing out how they're all dishonest hypocrites on this issue.

Easyt65 and Two Thumbs, why aren't you two raging at your fellow righties for abusing the flag so regularly at every opportunity? Do you just hate the flag, or is some other agenda behind your support of constant disrespect of the flag?

Absolutely, because people make clothing that looks like the US flag using it as a doormat is perfectly respectful. Not that I represent anyone other then myself, I never wear anything that symbolizes the flag, other then exact replicas, and I think most other conservatives do the same.

CLOTHING that resembles the flag are NOT the flag.
Doormats that RESEMBLE the flag are NOT the flag.

While I do not support either of those, they still do not take away from the lack of respect for THE FLAG itself.

And NYC, ya wanna go down the Saul Alynski side-road instead of condemning the inappropriate treatment of the flag, I will indulge you this once:

Did Hillary put the flags / a flag on the floor? Neither one of us can proof definitively is she did or didn't. The point is moot. The treatment of the US flag by her campaign is disgraceful. Period.

For someone that it appears I agreed with you seem to be upset.

Any of them running for President you ignorant ****?

Well, we can see what Trump's store is selling. It's not just some red, white and blue. It's plainly a full flag.

Now, I notice you didn't deny supporting such flag desecration. You probably put on your flag T-shirt and flag ball cap, wipe your mouth with flag napkins, and probably even use flag toilet paper.

Any of them drop it on the floor in a pile you fucking pile of scum?

Being butthurt over having your hypocrisy highlighted is no excuse to lie like that, by declaring Hillary personally dropped the flag.

Amazing...Hillary / her campaign staff piles a bunch of American flags up on the floor, and Liberals - like NYC - actually attempt to make it the GOP's fault, as they do with everything else THEIR Liberal politicians do.

You're illiterate. I asked if Hillary put that flag there.

What is your answer?

We can only assume she did, until you prove she didn't.

She's innocent until proven guilty. That's how I prove it.

Sorry, didn't mean for it to come across that way. You are spot on. Just pointing out (poorly) that piling a bunch of shirts printed like flags or flag-printed doormats in a pile on the floor is one thing. Throwing a bunch of flags in a pile on the floor is very different and is what Hillary's camp did. Sorry, again, if it came across as I was angry/opposing what you said.

What a true American.....

Hillary put that flag there?

That woman does everything, even decorates her own campaign sites.

No wonder the flag fell off the bleachers, she's exhausted...

Apparently she doesn't do much, like attract women voters.

Ever read the actual Flag Code?

(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform.

4 U.S. Code § 8 - Respect for flag

you aren't as dumb as that post indicated. do better.

Bottom Line: Piling up US Flags on the floor is / was STUPID!

Already having to worry about 'rep' and appearance, Hillary's camp needed / needs to pay great attention to detail, do everything right. They failed. This picture showing up resulted in another PR hit and another bad impression.

Attention to detail seems to be a problem for Hillary. Her claim, for example, that she never knew about the more than 600 requests from Ambassador Stevens for more security demonstrates possibly too much reliance on (incompetent) subordinates and not enough attention to detail herself. The idea that it was Huma and other subordinates who are responsible for sending Hillary classified - lack of attention to detail regarding what her staff is doing. At some point people will stop buying the claim that it is the incompetence and mistakes of those you put around you and start demanding/ expecting you to pay more attention to the details and be more responsible.

Well we all know her disgust with the military and the flag is just one step up.

I guess you aren't voting for Hillary anymore then.

Now THAT'S funny, right there! I like you, Bo! Never had any intention of voting for Hillary for obvious reasons, and I can not, will not vote for an avowed Socialist, not after serving 28 years and still going - defending this nation from jackasses / threats the likes of which Bernie represents. No idea who I am going to vote for yet. Not impressed with any of them 100%, but anyone who thinks they will find a politician they will completely agree with is delusional. My standard remains 'whoever is the best for this nation'.

What a true American.....

This disrespect for the flag that cost over the years nearly 500,000 American lives in defending shows one of two characteristics...both of which are very very disturbing.
A) Hillary is so ignorant to hire people that are so ignorant of the minor details like respect for the flag OR
B) Hillary is so disrespectful of little details like hiring people that are disrespectful of these minor details.

EITHER way she is obviously a very poor choice to do the "BIG things" like running the country!

Prove her staff put the flags there. Prove she knew about it. Prove she was even ever there before everything was up.

DAMN, NYT.. I bet you're right. I bet someone BROKE INTO Hillary's NH HQs, with all of her aides working and hanging around, gathered up a whole bunch of flags, threw them on the ground, took a picture of them, and sent the picture to the media JUST to disparage Hillary and her campaign.



NYC, never said Hillary knew, was there, or did herself. You just keep doing the 'Saul Alynski Samba' and NOT condemn the disrespectful treatment of our flag....

Makes no difference. If she can't manage such little details why give her responsibility for the country? It's the details that make up the big picture folks and Democrats especially forget the little details. Like Sanders saying we need single payer health care but seemingly not figuring out where the $100 billion a year in federal/state and local taxes will come from if there are no more health insurance companies. What will happen to the 450,000 employees of those companies? Anyone consider those numbers?

You accuse her directly in the OP. Now you're backing down because you got caught.

She wasn't even there.

NYC....that little thing at the very end of the Title...it's called a 'QUESTION MARK'. It is not used in stating a fact or declaration. It is used to ask a question, to spark debate, and inquire to what people think. Try educating yourself before accusing someone of something. That way you don't embarrass yourself in public. You're welcome.
