But she's obviously working within a long tradition of such abuses, so it is rather disingenuous to single her out.

I'm not crazy about flag motifs on clothing, but it's not anything I get upset about, either.

But - wow! - this takes "wrapping yourself in the flag" to a whole other level!

I was om the beach in Negril, Jamaica and I saw 2 Americans the female had a g-string on, an American Flag print and the flag was flossing her ass. Such respect eh? At least this muslim woman wore it with respect.

BTW you repugnant fecktards, the USA belongs to all who are legal within its borders.

XENOPHOBIA has risen it's ugly head and infected the zombie Americans.

It's okay to wrap the flag around your ass or step on it, but do not wrap it around your head.

There are times where I am a pissed off mood, and have been known to comment to folks at red lights that the rag of a flag that they are flying on their car is a insult. I have even also been known to go to places like fire houses and police stations with the guidelines on how to fly the flag, when these so called patriots were flying it inappropriately.

But then again, IOKIYAR!

They are vocally anti-American and wear flags as a sign of disrespect & the other RWNJs hate them.

I suggest you replace that photo with this one of Don Blankenship at Massey Energy's anti-union party (featuring Turd Nugent) a few years back:

or the deifying of any symbol. People who get wrapped up in the symbols, usually are ignorant of what the symbols are suppose to represent. They throw around words like "freedom" and "liberty" with bluster and arrogance, but I think were they transported in time to the 18th century, many of them would have been loyalists.

But, then, I would suspect that word isn't in the general conservative lexicon, as they do and say ironic things all the time without realizing it.

This is absolutely not a left vs right or liberal vs conservative issue.
I am amazed at the ignorance of not only the American populus but also of its supposed leaders.
She is in violation of US Code Title 4 Section 8 (d) as are all the other faux patriots pictured here. (Especially that convict in the speedo.)
They are all showing disrespect for our national symbol and should all be castigated and then educated.
