Ever notice the upside down stars on the GOP logo? [View all]

I heard Thom Hartmann talking about this yesterday. I'm not a conspiracy oriented person, and I don't believe in the devil, but isn't it a little weird that the party that capitalizes on the "Christian conservative" vote features upside down, pentagram-esque stars on their logo?

Hartmann claims they flipped the stars in 2000 when W was elected, but there's evidence that the stars were inverted before that:

? Sorry, don't see the connection of the racist Dove ad to the stars in the GOP logo. Demit Mar 2019 #12

In an ad agency, it is a writer and an art director who work in a team. Together they concept. Demit Mar 2019 #14

I don't work in an ad agency. Do they even still exist? MineralMan Mar 2019 #15

Your field has nothing to do with ads produced by Dove & its agency (Ogilvy & Mather). Demit Mar 2019 #17

I believe the Flag Code says it's OK to use the patterns in the flag, just not an actual flag. Girard442 Mar 2019 #8
