with an explanation as to just what that fucking flag represents

Hard to tell. She and he are regulars at all sorts of crap.

And why is he wearing two Senate member pins?

That picture is a rank fake.

Bad photoshop.

Those flags don't look right...they aren't falling correctly.

Notice how the flagpole on the right passes in front of the microphones.

The left one has some weird artifacting going on, and Cruz' sleeve has clearly been airbrushed smooth, resulting in some blurry lines in an otherwise very crisp photo - and he would have to be jamming his elbow into the flag for that anyway, which would make the pole about the diameter of a large piece of household plumbing.

Also, Cruz' hair is sprouting moss - someone didn't crop out the greenery from whatever picture they got his picture from.

it comes from Citizen Schwartz, another political satire site. But really I hope they didn't pay someone for that mess.

Even I can tell the flags were shopped in. That said I have no doubt all of them have pics with Confederate flags somewhere in the crowd.

Cruz has two house member pins and look where Bachmann's hair goes.

Fail.

Google photos of the event not showing them yet.

Cruz is crazy and crafty, like Palin. Dumb, but smart enough not to let this happen.

Gotta be some IPhones somewhere there that captured what we crave.

but for some odd reason, Marine flags make many appearances at theses sort of events.

If that crowd consists of such patriotic Americans, why aren't they berating that guy and asking him to take it down?

I have to laugh at these nuts or I'd be so scared I'd be hiding under my bed.

Nails it!

Huh. While I don't see too many spring chickens in these photos, I haven't seen anyone that is likely to be old enough to be a civil war veteran.
