Democratic Trash: The Story That Just Won't Go Away 
A note from Radarsite: This is fascinating. As happened before with the Hillary Forum, Radarsite started getting an inordinate amount of hits from an Obama camp website. So we looked into it. If anyone is interested in the differences between the Clinton Dems and the Obama Camp just read these comments, lifted directly from Democratic Underground and compare them with the Clinton Dems responses from The Hillary Clinton Forum reported here in an earlier Radarsite article. Whereas the general consensus from the comments thread at the Hillary Forum was one of surprisingly sincere regret and honest acceptance of responsibility for what had become a major political gaff, the Obama people are merely angry and defensive. Very angry and very defensive. Almost immediately the conspiracy theorists got to work. No acceptance of responsibility whatsoever. Just angry backlashes at everyone but themselves.
Till now, I must confess, I hadn't really appreciated the differences between these two Democratic factions. But I certainly do now. As much as I disagree with their candidate's vision of America and where they would want to bring this country, the Hillary Dems seem to have exhibited a strong sense of sincerity and humanity. They have stepped up to the plate and accepted responsibility for what has turned out to be a major strategic blunder -- even though it was more the responsibility of the Obama Camp to control the images that came out of that Obama Celebration.
And how do the Obama people react to their own revealing anti-patriotic blunders? They react with viciousness and anger. They call on their attack dogs to do their work. Cynical, manipulative, their only concern is in discrediting the source. No responsibility. No embarrassment. No concern for how their obvious disregard for patriotism may look to the average American.
To me, this whole episode has been an education. This is what an Obama Presidency would offer. A Democratic redux of the Nixon years, with all of that petty hatred and viciousness, and with a whole new Enemies' List. This, my friends, is a clear and unadulterated view of the Obama Camp, and it is both enlightening and disgusting. Read their comments and decide for yourselves. We have deleted the commenters identities. - rg

***LET'S GET TO WORK ON THIS FLAG THING NOW***
"We need to press the meme that the McCain campaign STOLE the flags."
Here's the article from Puke News:
John McCain’s campaign prepared to accuse Democrats on Saturday of leaving behind 12,000 miniature American flags after Barack Obama’s nomination acceptance speech last Thursday in Denver.Boy Scouts have arrived with 84 trash bags full of bundles of flags at the site of a McCain rally scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m. local time in Colorado Springs.The campaign says the flags were recovered from Invesco Field after the Democrats concluded their convention there, and they are going to be used as part of the warm-up ceremonies before McCain takes the stage for the rally.FOX News has been told a vendor at Invesco Field found the flags, which were going to be thrown out, and turned them over to the McCain campaign.Notice anything strange here?
12,000 miniature American flags
84 trash bags full of bundles of flags
a vendor at Invesco Field found the flagsThese flags were meant to go somehwere--and not to some dumpster. Did this "vendor" steal them for political purposes
So, its up to the vendor to distribute and clean up? Then that is his job..

It seems that during the primaries, the Obamaniacs were content NOT to talk about the issues with Hillary. Now, the issues are a top priority when they once again look sooooo stupid! A distraction would be an attack on Westmoreland's comments about the Obamas being "uppity." The Obamaniacs are now saying there is a racial overtone to it. Who knew uppity meant more than "elitist snobs?" But that, they will continue to talk about and throw the "issues" to the side. Whenever the Obama polls go down and he loses the attention of the universe, it seems a race card is played. Inexperience to the hilt!
ReplyDeleteIt seems if someone from the Obama campaign was "purposed" to collect these 84 bags of flags, that person would be speaking up.
ReplyDeleteThen that person could explain why he/she failed in the mission.
The flags were left there, and then "found." The Obama campaign won't admit it but they screwed up profoundly.
This has been on Fox today. No one seems to believe Obama's campaign claims.
Good piece Roger.

Look, we know and have known for a very long time that the Demockacrats, liberals and leftists have morphed into the fascist coalition that hates America.
ReplyDeleteThat has no rationale or civil or coherent or viable response to anything.
That relies on the immaturity and ignorance of its ranks to rant whenever someone, anyone, has hit on some truth about their malicious, vicious, base behavior.
Let'em say whatever they want. They're too consumed by their hatred to understand that America is now watching--and is repulsed by what it sees or hears.
Oh, did mention, that that same America will not elect Barack Obama, or whatever his real name might be.
Am I readng this right? The Dems trash the flags after the convention. They catch flack from you and the Drudge report. Then the Democratic Underground starts commenting until the plan to blame it elsewhere gets hatched. The Huffington Post turns the rumors into Demo-fact and presto-chango, it's McCain's fault.
ReplyDeleteThe McCain campaign didn't steal the flags, they recycled them for a better use.
ReplyDeleteThe Democrats should have been proud of that. They claim to be the Environmental Party.
Thank you all.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Barb. You sure are reading that right. We couldn't have made this stuff up. Those comments are so cynical and vile, it's almost unbelievable. The more people who can wee these entities for what they truly are the more hope America has.

To throw flags in the trash is despicable. What an unpatriotic and self centered thing to do. Everyone who done that deserves a punch right in the nose regardless if they are a man or a woman.
ReplyDeleteThe bags full of flags were stacked up next to a dumpster. Seems open and shut to me.
ReplyDeleteDebbie Hamilton
Right Truth
Thank you Deb!
ReplyDeleterg
Great example of disposable patriotism.
ReplyDeleteThese flags were clearly left for trash. This is exactly what Obama and his entire campaign think about patriotism, our military and pride in America. His ideology is a direct result of the people who influenced him most during the past 25 years, Rev Wright, Ayres, Rezko, Pfleger and a host of others with the same agenda.
ReplyDeleteI am a member of HCF and I am grateful for your article exposing the "obama supporters" and seeing that not all of us are like that.
ReplyDeleteThere are many of us democrats who do not support obama and are disgusted with the vile things some obama supporters say.
I place country over party. This *new democratic party*, nor their "selected candidate" represent me, and I am fully in support of Senator McCain and Gov. Palin. McCain/Palin brought integrity back and many of us democrats do support them.
Country first.
