A flag depicting an image of President Barack Obama was taken down from Lake County Democratic Party headquarters today after several veterans complained it was a "desecration."

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.
Video at this link. It is, as reader rjschwarz notes, downright creepy.

#15  It's a pity the Liberal Media has caused a backfire. They sensationalized one celebrity after the other. They gave Obama treatment, interviews, moved football games. He's now in that "Celebrity but I don't know why" list more than actual being a Politician or Symbol.

#14  The other thing is this--Obama grew up under a dictatorship, and I'm positive he was impressed with the power. THAT is his understanding of the "presidency" -- 'PRESIDENT' Suharto.

And "emergency" of great magnitude followed by a "temporary" dismissal of the Constitution, or part of it, is important in his little plan.

#12  That Obama flag is deplorable and an insult to all Americans--particularly to those who have served and defended it.

#9  Nothing at all is sacrosanct with these people.

I do not respect democrats - any of them at all as they have absolutely no respect for me.

See how this is going to work from here on out?
Separating the Wheat from the Chaff.

You do not respect my individual liberty all the while voting for scumbags to turn us into some soviet style dictatorship. All the while mocking our civil institutions.

No respect = no respect. You people are sick.

#6  Yep, if you didn't think the dems were commies before, now you know.

Right from the old Trotsky, Lenin playbook. Create a cult of personality around a leader...The satraps around the empty suit are about one jump from the propoganda hacks that surrounded Kimmie...and I dare say Adolph?

The entire Obama campaign in 2008 was essentially a cult of personality model. No one looked at his qualifications, all the left and those in the middle dupped into voting for him looked at was the gestures and posing and messianic trappings of the campaign.

Remember the Greek temple for his acceptance speech? The Dems did Albert Speer proud with that one.

So you can take the swastika off of the red flag and put Obama's face on it. What the dems want is a totalitarian government.

#2  There are only two flags aurthorized to be flown under the US flag. First is the state flag and second is the POW/MIA.

#1  They're right. The US flag is not to be defaced.
