They do it with their talk....

They do it with their talk and legislation...why is it surprising they do it in real life?

This morning, Republicans tell me that 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. Denver Post

They should be shamed with a display of their disrespect. 

Hey, DNC, here's what you do with flags when you're finished with them from the VFW website. You know, those guys who fought for what it stands for. 

UPDATE from the Denver Post:

UPDATE I: I just spoke with the person at Invesco who found the flags and he thinks both sides are exaggerating a bit. 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.”

Having spoken to the person who found the bags, it’s difficult to believe that anyone was coming to get them a week after the convention — or that they were “stolen.” If so, what is the name of the person who was coming to pick them up? I’ve sent a query asking that question.

I'm still not satisfied. People who respect what the American flag stands for wouldn't leave that many flags in trash bags for eight days on the back dock of space they rented for a couple of weeks. They'd keep them in a facility they controlled where the flags will stay clean and dry if they REALLY intended to use them again or pass them on for someone else's use.
