It's in my profile. More than once. My USS Enterprise CVN-65 ball cap. The aircraft carrier ;)

He's pro-torture, so that makes up for it.

i don't give a shiat if Obama doesn't wear one, i'm not about to give a shiat of McCain or Clinton don't wear one either.

To paraphrase Carlin, flag pins are symbols, and I prefer to leave symbols for the symbol-minded.

Uh, okay? Thanks for letting us know.

John McCain doesn't love America.

A;most as much as George doesn't love smart questions.

ElPresidente [TotalFark] 2008-04-20 01:11:49 PM  
I demand all candidates wear a flag pin, provided they do so directly over their heart to show loyalty, the pin is pointed directly rearwards and is approximately two foot long by six inches in diameter. Problems solved.

 
co-conspirator [TotalFark] 2008-04-20 01:13:03 PM  
Anyone got a US Constitution lapel pin?

Anyone? Anyone? No?

Something tasteful, perhaps "We the People" on a stylized piece of parchment.

*goooooooogleing*

Aha!

 
GAT_00 [TotalFark] 2008-04-20 01:22:26 PM  
I demand that John McCain be questioned about this at every turn for the next 3 months. Only fair, right? Because if John McCain isn't wearing a flag pin, he must be a terrorist who hates America. Right Repubs?

Oh, and co-conspirator, I think I may have to get one of those.

Most people don't. I'm pretty sure the point of both the headline and the linked article is to highlight the idiocy of the flag pin "issue". Nobody cares, not even the people who seem to be working so hard to manufacture outrage over it.

 
Torque420 2008-04-20 01:32:42 PM  
John McCain dosent believe in the American flag. Thats why he uses one for his adult diaper.

That's pretty spiffy, actually.

 
bourneobscurity 2008-04-20 01:36:19 PM  
All that pandering and now he's not wearing a flag pin? John, you need to choose between the "base" and the actual conservatives. You can't have both.

 
Crude 2008-04-20 01:37:41 PM  
What's his policy for standing when the national anthem is played?

I know what your boyfriend's policy is.


Take it down this road and you will lose the battle, dumbasses.

Hint: Your candidate is somewhat un-American, and that's what you and the MoveOn.org-ers love about him.

 
CravenMorehead 2008-04-20 01:38:16 PM  
This calls for immediate discussion!

 
NYZooMan 2008-04-20 01:39:53 PM  
Obama MADE it an issue himself.

Sorry HotAirUpObamasAssManiacs.

 
RocketRod [TotalFark] 2008-04-20 01:40:15 PM  
"Do you have a flag..?"

 
AmazingRuss 2008-04-20 01:43:08 PM  
I'm not voting for anybody that doesn't put a flag pin through their actual flesh. I want to see Obama with one in his nose, but if Hillary put one in each nipple I would have to vote for her.

McCain is just too old and saggy for his skin to hold much of anything, so he's out.

Maybe McCain was just flashing back to his ROTC days:

Is that a FLAG PIN?!?

On your LAPEL!!??!?

Obama supporters like flags and symbols too. They got their flag of choice proudly on display at Barack Obama campaign volunteer office in Houston

hehehe that was the first thing that came to my mind too. LOL


"what is that?"

"a pledge pin, sir"

"WHAT? A PPPPPPPLEDGE PPPPPIN?"

 
Now That's What I Call a Taco! 2008-04-20 01:50:00 PM  
Obama should start wearing a cross lapel pin. He could "out-God" McCain, who literally has no idea what he believes in at this point. Fundies wouldn't know WHAT to think.

Either that, or raise the, "I just don't want to put holes in my suit- unlike my opponents, I can't just buy a new one every day" defense.

 
obeymatt 2008-04-20 01:51:14 PM  
shiat. I know shiat's bad right now, with all that starving bullshiat, and the dust storms, and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution.

 
nobozo 2008-04-20 01:51:27 PM  
Being a white christian means never having to show your patriotism.

 
LocalCynic 2008-04-20 01:51:41 PM  
NYZooMan: Obama MADE it an issue himself.

Great, so since McCain made his wife an issue by having her say that he wouldn't cheat on her, I guess that means it's perfectly acceptable to point out that he hooked up with her while married to his first wife.

The "everything is fair game in politics" mindset is precisely why conservatives want to run against Hillary. It's not that they think she'd be easier to beat. It's that conservatives are crazen people who lust for revisiting the 90's political slime. I'm no Hillary fan, but I bet dollars to donuts that they are going to get crushed if they try and go toe to toe with her.

A flag pin is to the right as the red AIDS ribbon is to the left.

Given the current state of the Republican party, I don't think they could even fend off Ozzy Osbourne or Jessie Ventura.

Nah, they like that he's not a corrupt senile waffling flipflopping douchebag, or a corrupt lying chick.

Face it, Obama is simply the best candidate available.

 
jj325 [TotalFark] 2008-04-20 01:55:02 PM  
Great. More on the big flag pin "controversy". As with christianity, I'm far more wary of those who flaunt there beliefs than those who live their beliefs. Beware of anyone who stands behind the flag.

Anytime I see someone with a lot of flags and crosses, I know they're going to try to rip me off.

I'd never wear one because I have read and understand the US Flag Code of Conduct.

I got a three point plan: One, we got this guy Notsure. Two, he's the smartest guy in the WORLD. Three, he's gonna fix everything!

That's what I meant. For a moment there, I became that which I detest, a troll.
