From the crowd that gave us the "Obama took the flag off his plane!" lie, their latest, greatest effort -- discovering the hidden meaning in the graphics on the DNCC credentials.
You see, wingnuttia has decided that the badges picture, not Obama wearing a blue shirt with stars in front of a background of red and white stripes as the badge clearly shows and the DNCC insists -- but an American flag (da-dah-DUMMMMM!) --- upside down!
Sister Toldjah sees right through this devious Democrat trickery.
Both the DNC and the Obama campaign: Counting on the American people to be too stupid to see through their shameless attempts at spinning the truth.
Asks Newsbusters' Rusty Weiss,
The first question that arises is why would a man who once refused to wear the American flag on his lapel, be interested in sporting a patriotic shirt, overflowing with stars?
Actually, the first question that arises, Rusty, is how you managed to type that sentence with your head so far up your ass.
And Michelle Malkin's pool boy Ed Morrissey spits,
Maybe the DNCC isn’t familiar with Old Glory.
Calm down, wingnuts. The DNCC's badge is not an upside down flag.

This is a very specialized skill, and I believe it is a requirement to qualify for the Secret Wingnut Decoder Ring.
…and so is this
BT,
You are brutal! Great post! Thanks.
it is bunting, but the truth wont stop them.
let’s get all ready for the latest trilogy of trash.
Dressing in cut-up flags? Hey, IOKIYAR.
I’m sulking here because I’ll never, ever qualify for a Secret Wingnut Decoder Ring, which I could wear to go undercover at wingnut events. You can tap it impatiently on the counter if dark-skinned servants don’t step lively.
The notion of Michelle having a pool boy paints an ugly mental picture.
Just when you think they could be any crazier

Fixed it for ya.
Boxturtle (Sometimes flies a 48 star flag. Nobody notices)
that was all Hot Air
Argh! Preview is your friend:

OT: Here’s my most recent stupid idea, I’m sure everybody recalls when the right-wing cause du jour was changing the Constitution to prohibit flag burning. Wouldn’t it make more sense to require that flags be manufactured from the same flame retardant material they use to make kid’s jammies? I might be wrong but I suspect that could be accomplished without a new Constitutional amendment.
OT — excellent political cartoon

Didn’t HRC sign on as a sponser for that ammendment
Poor Michelle, she’s simply misunderstood. She gives candy to orphans. The fattest ones get invited to her gingerbread house for Thanksgiving.
They are ludicrous. Let’s hope they stay on this one for a while.
From ontheissues.org
She was triangulating.
No. She co-sponsored a very narrowly written bill on flag-burning to forestall the attempted passage of a constitutional amendment.
And the mokeys wrapped their
tail around the flagpole
to show their a**hole
to the crowd
The wind was blowing from right to left in the picture, same way it’s blowing in US politics, hopefully.
Digg it.
thanks
While Republicans trash the Constitution, they accuse Democrats of disrespecting the flag. Another case of Oooh, look over there, bright shiny object.”
Maybe we need a Constitutional amendment requiring that all animals who can’t keep their tails down wear pants.
Who is this Michelle and why does anyone care what she thinks?
OMG! There really *is* such a tree! BT, how long have you had that pic stashed in your arsenal?
I like the definition of marriage: “It’s the union of a man and a billionaire beer distributor who doesn’t talk much.”
There are six species of wingnut.
Pterocarya fraxinifolia - Caucasian Wingnut. Caucasus and Elburz mountains in southwest Asia.
Pterocarya hupehensis - Hubei Wingnut. Central China.
Pterocarya macroptera - Large-winged Wingnut. West and southwest China.
Pterocarya rhoifolia - Japanese Wingnut. Japan, eastern China (Shandong).
Pterocarya stenoptera - Chinese Wingnut. China, widespread.
Pterocarya tonkinensis - Tonkin Wingnut. Southernmost China (Yunnan), Indo-China.
Another species from China, the Wheel Wingnut with similar foliage but an unusual circular wing right round the nut (instead of two wings at the sides), previously listed as Pterocarya paliurus, has now been transferred to a new genus, as Cyclocarya paliurus.
OT this is hilarious Jane will love it

One instance in which the AP has a little credibility.
This is just too good. Thanks for the laugh that will last.
I think you missed one there:
Pterocarya republicana- American wingnut. This species thrives in low information soils. Its bark is poisonous, and its only known use is to start wars.
Wrt AP……..kettle, meet pot.
That one truly needs a spew alert.
Somebody should tell the wingnuts that if they cut out the butter and the knees on the Land o’ Lakes butter carton, they can make it look like the Indian Maiden is holding her boobs. That should keep them distracted until will after the election…
Jane upstairs.
first thing that came to mind! LOL
An upsidedown flag on a boat is a distress signal, as in HELP, THIS SHIP IS GOING DOWN, not a sign of anti-patriotism. Once again, the smear campaign makes up smears that make absolutely no sense whatsoever.
But that’s not even what the card is.
OK, but if you hold that credential upside down and tilt it at a 34.5 degree angle, you can either see the Virgin Mary or Obama’s real birth certificate; not exactly sure which, though.
