Spoiled, out-of-touch millionaire celebrities disrespecting the flag.





Instead of insulting our servicemen and women who fought and died for our country, these rich brats ought to be grateful to be living in a country and making millions and should otherwise shut their traps.

See 4 USC 8 (d):



The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.

The one of the bikini holding a rifle is a bad photoshop.

There might be others but that particularly famous one is a hoax

So the GOP applies the white person exception and all is fine.

I was looking for that photo to post a few days ago and ran out of time before I found a suitable copy.

I distinctly remember that "performance" from the Super Bowl halftime show. Everyone made a huge stink about a flash of Janet Jackson's breast but I was struck by how much more offensive this jerk was during the exact same show.

of G. Gordon Liddy in a flag speedo. It has been posted here over the years but I don't have time to dig it up now. Actually just remember it was, nobody should ever see that again.
