MLK Event Attendees Wave American Flags - Desecrated With Barack Obama's Face
Michael Miller
On August 25, 2013
At an event in Washington D.C. Saturday commemorating the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic “I have a dream” speech, attendees waved American Flags. Desecrated. With Barack Obama’s face.
Irrespective of the fact that desecration of the American flag is illegal – “Whoever knowingly mutilates, defaces, physically defiles, burns, maintains on the floor or ground, or tramples upon any flag of the United States shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both” – what exactly has Barack Obama accomplished that warrants his face being placed on the Star Spangled Banner? The cult of Obama is alive and well.
Hugo Chavez would be proud of Comrade Obama indeed.

Where have I seen something like that before?
Where could it have been?

While yes this is abhorrent, it's not exactly uncommon.
This desecrated flag, for example, has been sold for years.

Were the rulings declaring the flag desecration law unconstitutional somehow overruled and I missed it?

Some have called shenanigans on the documentarian, but it's still interesting to ponder.

Yup, it was a militant union rally, disguised as an homage to MLK.

Even if it weren't, that technically is not desecrating an American flag under the law. It is not an American flag - it's a picture of Obama with stripes on it. Similarly, the VT flag is not an American flag - it is a VT logo with stripes next to it.

Donald Trump is a stupid man's idea of a smart man, a poor man's idea of a rich man, and a weak man's idea of a strong man.

Even worse: Malaysia uses a desecrated flag as their national flag!

Just to clarify... I'm not saying the Obama flag is a desecration. I just think it's dangerous to put a person's face on a nationally recognizable banner. Our Founders fought a war for Independence from Tyranny. And I can't think of a single case where recognition of any single individual as The State wasn't tyrannical or didn't quickly evolve into tyranny.
I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican... if you refuse to consider alternatives to the two parties, you support the Status Quo and you are a major part of the problem.
Re: MLK Event Attendees Wave Desecrated American Flags....
Can we all just agree that it's in poor taste and leave it at that?

It's not even a good picture of Obama. The expression on his face is "Shirt...did I just fart, or do I need to change my drawers?"Hokie CPA wrote:It's DEFINITELY in poor taste. We certainly agree on that.USN_Hokie wrote:Can we all just agree that it's in poor taste and leave it at that?

More like a "Who invited Al Roker to dinner?" face to me.
