I call bullshit on the article, something doesn't connect here and I bet there is a LOT more to the story they aren't telling us. I don't know one US citizen that would want a US flag taken down for that reason.

If it were bullshit, why would the hospital cave and let them put it up anyway?

"I find it very frightening because if I can't display my flag," McLucas asked, "what other freedoms will I lose before all is said and done?"

GMAFB. There is no freedom lost. Idjit.

It's an office she shares with several other people. Wouldn't the polite thing have been to ask if anyone minds if she puts up something that large, rather than just a personal sized flag on her desk? You don't just get to do anything you want, and then cry foul when someone you're sharing a space with disagrees with it for whatever reason.

If it were bullshit, why would the hospital cave and let them put it up anyway?

Well, aside from the fact that hospitals are privately owned so there is no freedom being taken.

Most likely they didn't cave, more likely someone wanted a news story so they made one up from a rumor.

Someone else in that office would break ranks and rat them out if they were lying

Really? Um, yeah. Truth is not something newscasters like to use, it doesn't get them the extra ratings.

 

[Fraulein Hilda]

Oh, brother.

 

[KittenKoder]

Oh, brother.

Tell me one US citizen that would not want the US flag displayed, especially on Memorial day ... just one.

Spokeshole-ese for no comment. They did something wrong and don't want to compound it by lame PR spin.

Really? That's odd because even if it was true, they didn't do a damned thing wrong, not one. Which is actually more proof that the story is bullshit.

I can see where unfurling a 3x5 flag in a cubicle might be seen as disruptive.

Yep, it can be. But see, the government has no business in private business, so that would be the businesses right to decide from the get go. See where this "story" starts to unravel? The news story is just more of their media sensationalism, probably brought on by a disgruntled employees whining rumor, with no real facts to back it up, with no purpose other than to get more ratings so they can make more money.

I think the hospital acted in a damage control mode on the PR, right or wrong.
