Like the old saying goes…

This seems to apply when comparing how the Democrats and Obama campaign view and treat the American Flag compared to The McCain Campaign.

Update: Fox News is reporting that The DNC is claiming the flags were “swiped” by GOP operatives but a picture is worth a thousand democrat lies.

Update 2: Seems the Democrats and TPM can’t get their story straight. David Harsanyi from The Denver Post spoke with the person from Invesco who says the flags were by the trash all week.

The person claims the majority of the bags with flags in them were near the trash, on a dock, and would have been thrown away. The person thinks it was probably an “oversight” by the Democrats rather than any nefarious plot against the flag. But the person doesn’t believe anyone was coming to get them: “The flags were there for a week and a day and no one came looking for them.”

Republican Recycling

a worker at Invesco Field in Denver saved thousands of unused flags from the Democratic National Convention that were headed for the garbage. Guerrilla campaigning. They will use these flags at their own event today in Colorado Springs with John McCain and Sarah Palin.

McCain Camp to Chastise Dems for Discarding American Flags

Boy Scouts have arrived with 84 trash bags full of bundles of flags at the site of a McCain rally scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m. local time in Colorado Springs.

The campaign says the flags were recovered from Invesco Field after the Democrats concluded their convention there

Flopping Aces Hot Air have more…

Side Note: Go to Talking Points Memo and notice how Josh Marshall deceptively writes a “story” trying to refute the DNC trashing the flags by including a paragraph trying to make it seem as if Fox News has pulled the story by recycling one of his posts on Carl Cameron from four years ago.
Commenters at The Denver Post are already regurgitating Marshall’s crafty and deceptive hackery.
