"All of this for a damn flag."
2012-06-19
Posted by:Besoeker

#17  I saw a liberal website that had that translated as "Look how pretty they fold that flag" or something like that. Whatever it was, it comported better with the video than "All this for a damn flag".

#16  Yup, Pappy - and it works just as well on the Right as on the Left, just different content.

#15  My brother-in-law died a year ago. Taps were played for him. A Marine honor guard presented my sister with a flag. Even if he had not been a relative who I loved dearly, one cannot help tearing up when hearing taps and seeing the flag presented and knowing what it stands for.

#13  I didn't see it, but certainly no pro. I can read what athletes say after bad calls, and don't see damn but as I said.

Besides, she said all this stuff in 2008 anyways.

#12  It seems very unlikely. Both must be aware that they are under constant camera observation.

Might habe happened in the first rookie months but not after 4 years.

I'd concentrate my fire on political incompetence...

#11  badlip reading.

As much as I hate to miss a chance to put the boot in, this seems like pretty thin evidence. Yes, I would be completely overcome with non-surprise if either of them expressed this opinion, but without some actual audio...

#10  My daughter can read lips (she works with deaf students) and says that lip reading is very difficult to interpret correctly. If you are told what a person says you are most likely to "read" it the way you (then) see it.

She reads it in an unbiased way (I didn't tell her what Michelle is alleged to have said) and says she can't tell exactly what the first two words are but then she is positive that the remaining words are "if they flew that flag".

Definitely no damn she affirms.

#9  Could be a case of bad lip reading.

#8  Got to remember when you worship yourself, its hard to grasp why others may place their faith in something else.

#7  "All of this for a damn flag." First Lady of the United States of America 2009-2012



But Did You See the Patriot Riders of the Iron Horses
Standing in the Flag Line Yesterday 6/18/2012?

But Did You See SSgt Christopher Goski's Friends and Family
Make Their Final Walk Along That Flag Line to Say Good Bye to The Young Man?

But Did You Know The Young Man Toured Iraq and Afghanistan 6 Tours With The American Flag Patch on His Shoulder and Died the age of 31?

Did You See the 40 Patriot Riders on the Iron Horses
Some Old and Grey
But Who Came Anyway to Give Honor
To Stand Next to Old Glory That Morning
To Strap Old Glory to 40 Iron Horses
To Escort the Young Man, Family, And Friends
To The Young Man's Final Resting Place
And To Place Old Glory Upon The Young Man's Coffin?

No You Did Not.
But Never Was Honor, Love, America And Americans
ALL THAT THE FLAG STANDS FOR,
ALL THAT MEN WOULD YOUNG AND OLD DIE FOR,
So Incredible to Behold!

#6  Unaccepting of the colonial miracle and dreams of America. Chicago south-side, tribal xenophobia at it's finest. Unfortunately they are not alone in their contempt for all things American.

#5  Ditto that Frank G.

#4  November can't come fast enough to vote these two anti-American racialist grifters out of America's house.

#3  Many good people died over the years for that "damn flag" and what it stands for so the likes of the Obamas could be free to do whatever it is they do.

#2  And Obama 'nods'....

#1  Can't remember who said these two are "Americans, but they're not American."
