Watch Sarah Palin Desecrate a Flag

Source: Gawker

A Guardian reporter interviewed Sarah Palin while she was giving autographs to her fans. Sarah put her Sharpie marker on a book, a hat, and an American flag. The latter of which is against the law!

Salon blogger Emma Mustich caught the flag desecration at 1:35 in the below video:

The Guardian's Ed Pilkington managed to get an impromptu interview with Sarah Palin at a Tea Party Express rally in Reno, Nevada. But video footage of the interview has caused a stir because it shows Palin casually putting her signature on an American flag – a potential violation of the Flag Code and thus of US federal law.

... If, like many Republicans, Sarah Palin supports a constitutional amendment to outlaw burning or desecrating the American flag, then she may have to place herself under citizen's arrest in order to remain ideologically consistent.

But the American flag isn't even the most worrying thing that Palin signs in this video. At the 58sec mark she signs a copy of a book by the spooky libertarian pseudo-philosopher Ayn Rand, without blinking an eye.

Why do Republicons lack respect for democracy?

sheesh

...using it for fame & money.

that was probably made in China anyway?

spell her name right?

"Hey" says Sarah "this pen is defective"

"Umm... try using the other end"

"OHHH that works much better, You betcha"

On Friday night we are having the fall campout for out cub scout pack and we are doing a flag retirement ceromony. It is a very ritual laden event and only the Boy Scouts and the military are allowed to do it. I can bet you that Sarah Palin hasnt a clue that 1. she just desecrated a flag and 2. the proper procedures for retiring a flag. This women is the gift that keeps on giving.

So, of course they don't see anything wrong with signing an American flag, or even stepping on one. They have a problem if WE do it, because in their eyes, we don't "own the copyright".
