The following video is reportedly one of the 20 finalists in the Democratic National Committee's ongoing contest to find the best video in support of health care. Personally, I think its symbolism makes a pretty good example of why we should OPPOSE ObamaCare, but I digress:

Remember?
The contest to create an advertisement to be shown at the 2003 SUPER BOWL.
Then president Bush being shown as Hitler.

The rabble-rousing Liberals ate it up as they were fully embracing the entire, HATE-BUSH narrative.

Larry David was not yet peeing on likenesses of Jesus Christ. However, he was fully engaged in raising money for John Kerry's campaign. He qorchestrated a huge fundraiser in Hollywierd, called,

"The Hate-Bush" fundraiser. Whew.....very creative.
Very meaningful.
Very productive.

The hate-mongering politics generated by the Left is a personally coveted credo.

Liberals have institutionalized this behavior.

It is as much a part of them as religion is on...

...they are running the Democrat Party.

They've perfected this rabble rousing, flag desecrating behavior for decades now.
It's what they are known for---it's actaully ALL they know.

Think about it.

They know of NO other ways to communicate their messages, their ideas (if you want to call them ideas) other than to include the desecrating of the American flag, causing mayhem and madness.
They are the ones whoviolently attack militry recruiting stations. As they did in Berkeley just last year. As they did in Manhattan at the same time.
That's right-----it's all they know.

for that disgraceful display. This was an administration sanctioned CONTEST. The rules for winning must have been "the winner will have displayed total disrespect for the American flag and the country it represents". This 'winner' is supposed to be running as a Public service announcement to push Obamscam.

I fly the American flag on the front of my house daily. Like Mike, my beloved family members have had their caskets draped with that flag.

It is the symbol of everything American. It should be treated with reverence and respect. Too much to ask I guess.

I'm offended. And the behavior from this generation of so called democrats is reprehensible, yet all too predictable.

And the fact our so called president has this type of content at a web site with his name on it is detestable.

One more reason to be reject barack hussein obama. Hmm, hmm, hmm.

This piece of fabric, nothing more....

Draped both my grandfather's caskets, my dad's, 4 uncles.

Its not a piece of fabric, but if it is, it is held together by service of country. At my aunt's funeral, one of the daughters stood and said, how wonderful it was to have grown up where love of country, was taught daily. She ran the VFW in Luverne, Minn. for over 30 years. The children estimated she and them had served over a million meals in that little hall. Uncle Red took over the VFW in 1950, and was the post commander for a great long time. And the pall beares and color guard at his funeral, were old farmers, and truck drivers, who did as fine a job as ever has been done with respect to this flag.

To bad Al...

Look you little pile of steaming.....
Your side is the side of cowards. Appease Hitler, That worked well.

If you want, I will take the blame personally for Vietnam, the whole thing, but you have to take the blame for the peace love moverment. Let's see that drug overdoses, including all the crack babies. The spread of aids, after all you said make love not war. Of course you get all the people who died, when we left Vietnam, and gave peace a chance. No the dipstick anthem singing hippie dribble that you losers espouse to, is the anthem's of cowards and losers. And intentional peace from your side has caused more suffering than intentional war from our side. You get Sean Penn, the Castro loving, scruvvy, low down and...

the wingnuts warm up that old saw, the American flag. Yup, in wingnuttia the flag serves not to unite a people, but to draw lines in the sand. You guys do that particularly well - that divide and conquer thing - and all while pretending to 'love' the American flag and all it's trappings.

"Country First", my @ss. With you guys it's all about winning while plundering and destroying.

It is not just for the sake of winning.
It is all about conserving human liberty and freedom. If a few poor innocents get in the way Oh well! A few must be sacrificed to make it better for the rest! I would have ten thousand imbeciles die...

Baracks own, 'organizing for America', or 'hating on America' web site will let you vote on this trash.

More proof the dems are a bunch of lunatic fringe American bashing marxists.

Beck is right. Time to take out the commie trash in the White House.

Virginia governors race is the first shot in the take America back war.

And don't misinterpret this struggle. It's war. Keep your powder dry.

Out of all things decent in this country is this flag. John Paul Jones, and the stars and stripes were commissioned on the same day.

The flag flies because men and women serve. The flag flies because those men and women cared to send the very best. Themselves. This flag, is but a symbol of those who served, whether in futile, whether in vain, whether abandoned by Congress or popular opinion. This flag flies. and apparently, abandoned by political party. In my little home town each holiday the flags are taken out and raised in respect. As a lad I assisted, and I noticed names on each one. I asked my scoutmaster about that, and he said those are the flags that draped the caskets of the men who served, and that their...

Nobody cares what political party you claim to be registered with, it's irrelevent. You're comments tell us all where you stand.

I challenge you to befriend a veteran and explain your thoughts on the flag to them.
