    A better question was posted by Loren S Casuto via Twitter; “if liberals burn THAT flag, will they be offended or is that free speech?”

    And just so others will know what we're talking about, the Obama flag at a Florida Democrat HQ:

    Hello Steve:

    You'll be happy to know that when the lady found out it was against the law, she took it down. Like all libs, she is a very reasonable person...

    Actually it was when she was confronted by angry veterans.

    Quote:

    A short confrontation at the Democratic office ended when party chairwoman Nancy Hurlbert took down the controversial flag, which had been flying under an American flag on the same flagpole.

    "It's a cult of personality to show his face, like Stalin or Mao," said John Masterjohn, a former Marine and retired schoolteacher from Leesburg. "It's despicable. They don't realize how sick they are."

    But Hurlbert said it was the first time that anyone had complained about the flag, which was given as a gift and had been flying for several months without any response from the public.

    "I was surprised," she said after taking down the flag. "No one had called us. We have a phone."
    Reasonable? I don't know. Clueless? Definitely.

    No authority, Clete, just a shill for the Democratic party in her county.

    It ain't my party office, but that's how it works in this country yes. I believe they call it voting.

    Here is something current and right out of the news. Remember SOPA and PIPA. How they went down in flames. It was the people putting pressure in the right places. Well thanks to Obama we now have ACTA. Yet another example of overstepping boundries by this clown in a suit.

    If they didn't have Democrats like the current DNC chair and those who fly Obama flags it would be less loony.

    LOL! I don't think so. It's been a magnet for nutcases long before Obama entered the political picture. So much so that FARK gives Florida its own tag for craziness that regularly comes out of there: FARK.com: Links by Topic

    Well, if no less an authority than FARK says so then who am I to question it? Interesting that they don't have their own tag for San Francisco, which by far outdoes Florida in the nuttiness department.

    I think they might, if not they should. Fark is funny for the puns they make.

    Enough FARK, how about some real silliness? The NAACP is seeking relief from American voter ID laws from the UN Human Rights Council.

    Yes, they are going to present their case that U.S. voter ID laws are a "tactic that undercuts the growth of your democracy" to UNHRC members such as Saudi Arabia, (which doesn’t allow women to vote at all), and dictatorships like Cuba and China. No, really.

    It's easy... have a camera at the same day registration places and produce a valid voter id right there . It could be one of them freebies that the libs like to do. My guess is that the real objection to voter id's by the blue states is the expense of producing them.

    Saudi Arabia is a theocracy, something I think many americans don't want to happen to their country.

    I don't know any American that wants a theocracy. Is that what you fear voter ID laws will lead to? Bwahahaha!

    Tom, libs LOVE to spend other people's money so that can't be it. Even if you furnish free photo ID and throw a bucket of free condoms their way they'll cling to the ridiculous notion that it amounts to poll taxes and literacy tests designed to stop blacks from voting.
