More Wingnut Anti-Obama Bullshit
The Pajamas Media have the anti-Obama rant.

"He didn't wear his American flag label pin!"

Oh no, how could he? Is Obama anti-American? A Muslim, perhaps?

I hope Barack Obama stays the course and doesn’t let the Nazi anorexics or pedophile dope addict radio pundits scare him. I also hope he ignores the lefties who are looking for ways to drag Obama down to help Hillary Clinton by exploiting the subject.

Barack Obama said Republicans have no lock on patriotism. I agree. These are Obama's exact words:

"A party that presided over a war in which our troops did not get the body armor they needed, or were sending troops over who were untrained because of poor planning, or are not fulfilling the veterans’ benefits that these troops need when they come home, or are undermining our Constitution with warrantless wiretaps that are unnecessary? That is a debate I am very happy to have. We’ll see what the American people think is the true definition of patriotism."

Barack Obama understands that a genuinely patriotic person doesn't send our troops to die in an illegal war for oil.

3. What about Scooter Libby?
And Rick Renzi? What about David Safavian? I think Alberto "Total Recall" Gonzales was wearing a flag pin as he resigned in disgrace, so at least we know he's a patriot.

It is almost funny (almost) the way the rightie wackos obsess about symbols (flags, pins, pledges, hands on heart) while ignoring the substance (the war, the economy, the Constitution, immoral behavior by hypocritical Republicans). Talk about not getting it.

7. I think the flag attack is shallow and just plain stupid.
Are there really "lefties" raking him over the coals about the absence of a lapel pin?

Frankly, I believe that Obama is further to the right than HRC on some issues, and I consider her to be to the right of center. "Lefties" have plenty of substance to attack Obama on. Are you sure you are "from the left?"
