Why Does John McCain Refuse to Wear a Flag Lapel Pin?

On one day in May 2008, John McCain was seen without a flag lapel pin, and Barack Obama was seen with one on his jacket. So, if we were to work with the Republican Party’s logic, we would have to ask, in a shocked voice, “Why does John McCain refuse to wear a flag lapel pin?” It’s a ridiculous question, of course – but it’s a question that Republicans take seriously… just so long as it isn’t aimed against their candidate.

    mccain will no longer wear the pink plastic fish pin made so famous by Janice Ian in 1969, NYC. that scorned fish pin is symbolic of the cyberterroristic piranha outhouse bred McGarnigle clan, who had a had in Stevie Ray Vaughan’s botched earwax removal in 1975. I am seeking asylum in europe or Zanzibar, as a single mother of two small children aged 25 and 27, and three grandchildren who cannot afford plastic fish hats. Help is needed, mr. mccain. Wear the pin.

    Obama made a mistake, but he did not do anything wrong. There’s no evidence that shows Obama was telling a fib or that he had any connection with Rezko.

    You wanted to bring up the candidates wives and McCain so called moral fiber. They are not that bitter to each other. After all McCain was very generous to her in the divorce settlement but of course he could afford to be, since he was marrying a multimillionaire named Cindy.

    Obama bought his …
    Obama bought his house for $1.65 million — $300,000 below the asking price. Rezko’s wife paid full price ($625,000 )for the adjacent vacant lot. The deals closed in June 2005. Six months later, Obama paid Rezko’s wife $104,500 for a strip of her land, so he could have a bigger yard.
    And all Obama has to say is “When you elected into public life there goanna be a different set of standards”, No shit, Standards.
    An affair huh, who gives a shit. I bet you didn’t know they are still friends.

    Search “Chuck Baldwin” right now — he is the third ticket in this election (for the constitution party). He is our real hope for change!

    McCain does, indeed, love this country. So does Obama. Makeinstall says, without any supporting evidence, that Obama is “dangerous” and “deceiving the American public.” What hogwash. This Marine likes and appreciates John McCain, but is proud to be an Obama supporter. People who hint that Obama is anything less than fiercely patriotic are fools.

    Obama has said we will not leave Iraq until it is stable. Thats what McCain was saying. No telling how long that will be. Obama said if he is the next President our troops will be in Irag till after 2013. How long? Until Iraq is stable is what he replied. Does that mean 100 years? America will always reach out to help other countries in need. Those who think otherwise are naive.

    Obama is really a sick individual. His mind has been warped with hate. Hate he learned from the quran. Hate he learned from his mentor Rev. Wright. Hate he and his wife both have for American and white people. Have you seen Michelle Obama’s thesis “Princeton-educated blacks and the black community.” Racism at its best. Rev. Wright and his church…racism at its best. Evidence is everywhere that they hate America and are racist. Quit drinking the Kool-Aid Obama followers and wise up.

    LOL – this video is awesome… I wish you were on TV instead of Chris Mathews or any of the blow-hards on Fox…

    McCain can have my Secret Weather Underground decoder ring if it will make him feel better.

    Barack Obama is as …
    Barack Obama is as American as any of us. He has served this country in the most noble way possible by helping working families rather than taking a high paying job or marrying a rich beer heiress. McCain has served this country as well, but remember he has encouraged us to continue our involvement in another country’s civil war which is only destructive to our great nation. This is as un-American as the terrorists who destroyed our twin towers.

    Mc Cain flat out …
    Mc Cain flat out loves this country and wore the uniform and sacrificed himself for this great country. Obama is a dangerous person and he is deceiving the general public maybe he should do some time with our troops to understand what patriotism and sacrifice really is. Maybe his stuck up wife would learn what it means to sacrifice your family for this countries service.

    Of course it is true… the vidoe of him sayig why he will not! is proof.

    Wrong again… Mccain wears a lapel pin.

    Are you smoking or what?

  25. nyprogressive says:

    MadJokker, I …
    MadJokker, I understand the difference perfectly. However, the Republicans that this video satirizes do not. They say that Barack Obama refuses to wear an american flag lapel pin, when of course that is not true at all.
