[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 302396, member: 9859"] But the problem isn’t with Houston, or Obama. It’s with those who wish to slime him.This is the kind of dirty politics we can expect the right wing to disgrace themselves this election season. [I]This started with a report run by the Fox affiliate in Houston. As the station’s report makes clear, “The office featured in this video is funded by volunteers of the Barack Obama Campaign and is not an official headquarters for his campaign.” So, right off the bat, every desperate far-right blogger who said the Obama campaign’s official Houston office features a Che/Castro flag is mistaken. The reality is, a volunteer found office space in advance of actual campaign staffers arriving in Houston. One of these volunteers put up the flag, presumably taken from some dorm-room wall. When actual, paid campaign aides show up - they’re due by the end of the week - one can safely assume the flag will be gone.[/I] [I]Here's another bogus smear campaign on Barack; [I]“This was not during the pledge of allegiance,” Obama said of the picture taken at Senator Tom Harkin’s, D-Iowa, annual steak fry and first published by Time. “A woman was singing the Star Spangled Banner when that picture was taken. [/I][/I] [INDENT] [I][I]“I was taught by my grandfather that you put your hand over your heart during the pledge, but during the Star Spangled Banner, you sing!” Obama said.[/I] [I]Obvisously, your mind (not the voters) is already made up when you run with a story b-4 you check the facts[/I] As for not wearing a flag pin, I’m happy to see a major political figure like Obama stand up against faux symbols of patriotism, as if the bigger your lapel pin, the more patriotic you are. Besides show me a flag pin not made in China.[/I][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
