What the hell! Hey, if you love America, you’re supposed to be wearing your US flag pin 24 hours a day and seven days a week……….even in the shower for crying out loud! So, where was George Stephanopolous & Charlie Gibson’s US flag pin last night in the debate between Barack Obama and Annie Oakley? Huh? I thought they loved America more than the rest of us, especially when they practically used the first 45 minutes of the debate to talk about how wearing a US flag pin is the ONLY way to show how much of a patriot you are and how much you love your country?!!!!!
Wow, what a disappointment. I can’t believe how overtly arrogant and ironic Gibson & Snuffy looked last night when it was realized they WERE NOT WEARING THEIR US FLAG PIN. Get your pins on for crying out loud! You traitors! Spit.
When Barack Obama met Hillary Clinton for another televised Democratic candidates’ debate last night, it was more than a step forward in the 2008 presidential election. It was another step downward for network news — in particular ABC News, which hosted the debate from Philadelphia and whose usually dependable anchors, Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos, turned in shoddy, despicable performances
>
For the first 52 minutes of the two-hour, commercial-crammed show, Gibson and Stephanopoulos dwelled entirely on specious and gossipy trivia that already has been hashed and rehashed, in the hope of getting the candidates to claw at one another over disputes that are no longer news. Some were barely news to begin with.
I fully expect today to see Gibson & Snuffy wearing a cardboard US flag draped over their shoulders on each side of their bodies to show us they love America and to make up for not wearing their US flag pin last night. Don’t you agree they should be marked this way? I mean, really, it will make it so much easier for us to find the fake patriots, such as, Gibson & Snuffy! Spit.
I just called the ABC switchboard number: 1-212-456-7777 (FireDogLake provided this number this morning).
I asked for the person to speak with who is taking questions about the atrocious debate last night on ABC. I was forwarded to the news desk. First question I asked was:
How come Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopolous weren’t wearing their US flag pins last night?
The young woman said, “Oh, you’re calling about the debate last night”, and I said, “Oh yes I am and I want to know why these two assholes were NOT wearing their US flag pins and why they thought it was appropriate to question the patriotism of Barack & Hillary while THEY WEREN’T WEARING THEIRS!”.
She said, “I’ll pass your complaint along”, and I said, “I’m not finished (voice was breaking up with anger)”. I asked her if she was wearing her US flag pin. [silence] And I said, “Who the hell does ABC think it is! This is why I detest ABC and it started with that damn docu-lie you assholes aired on 9/11 putting all the blame on the Clintons when clearly it was Dick Cheney & George Bush who weren’t paying attention and protecting us for the first nine months of 2001. Gibson & Stephanopolous proved to me last night they hate America because they weren’t wearing their freaking flag pins! How come they hate America and why is it they don’t have to wear their US flag pin, but have to point out when others do not? Huh?”.
“Ma’am, I’ll pass on your complaint to the appropriate people.”
“No you won’t. You say that you will but we all know what will happen! George & Charlie will still have a job and will continue to be the mouthpiece for the GOP-Nazis of America! Now get your flag pin on and make America proud! You can fuck off!”.
I was not nice, but then again, why should I be!
Please make a call today to ABC and let them know they ARE THE TRAITORS OF AMERICA and not us. It has nothing to do with wearing a US flag pin either. Spit.
Was this 21st “debate” even necessary since REAL problems confronting Americans and the world took a back seat to the trivial? However, I imagine such political showdowns are probably cheaper to put on the air and have a better profit margin than the lame “reality” shows like ABC’s “The Bachelor”.
If I had mega bucks, I would share them with you Kay so you could sit at the phone and computer and bring back democracy.Your message to ABC was perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I had a good laugh….gotta’ have that because if I didn’t …might turn bitter.
The difference between Obama and the two anchors is that if you asked them to put on a American flag pin, THEY WOULD!
Woo hoo wearing a f**king American flag pin makes one such a better American! I guess all those hippies that had the American flag patches on their jackets in the sixties were the best Americans.
I noticed last night that Charles Gibson didn’t like Obamas idea of raising the salary cap on social security. I imagine it would affect his elite ass.
To all of you republican idiots out there who love calling the democrats cut and runners, what do you think George W. Bush is? The pathetic asshole will be cutting and running from Iraq in January 2009 continuing his life long trend of leaving a mess for someone else to clean up.
And for all of you assclowns who still support this war you are nothing but traitors along with the Bushites. It seems to the Bushites it is more important to rebuild Iraqi infrastructure then it is to rebuild our own countries infrastructure. It is also apparently clear that we aren’t any safer today than we were before we invaded Iraq as the Bushites have had massive cuts to police programs nation wide while spending (wasting) billions of dollars on Iraqi police.
Just checking in for a few seconds while I’m working. Hey Lee, only you jackboot lickers would immediately put your flag pin on because you know it’s the only thing that makes you patriotic. Hitler would have been proud of the 21st Century Brownshirts! Only you neocons would put on a cheesy flag pin made in China when told. Bah hahahahahaha! You’re so pathetic to say the least.
Molly, if I won the lottery, that’s all I’d be doing. LOL! I’m serious,well, besides a few other things of course.
Uncle, the White Boy Elitist Club doesn’t like it when they have to pay their taxes or contribute to society. They hate America and it shows.
Okay, going back to work.
yeah.. wearing your flag pin made in China proves your patriotism..
unless you are a republican like John McCain, then you dont have to wear one of course.
Gosh Kay you could have been a bit more forceful with ABC, and really given them something to think about
I wear my flag pin upside down.
Well Ox, sometimes I just can’t hold back. My rage does that to me. Seriously. I got half way through reaming her a new asshole when I remembered I was talking to a person at the news desk at ABC! LOL
That’s right Chris. Republicans don’t have to wear the flag on their clothing because they’ve given themselves permission not to. Yeah, yeah, one day they were all on the playground in a circle and one said, “We really don’t have to wear our flag pin anymore, because we’ve been good and because we have yellow ribbons on our cars anyways. Besides, my Daddy said I looked very patriotic standing next to the car magnet. My Daddy is bigger than your Daddy! Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *sticking tongue out*”.
See? The children of America have decided that everyone else has to wear a flag pin.
Assholes.
LOL Gage. Last night on FireDogLake one of the commenters said she just ate her flag pin and I said, “Oh wow Barbara. You must be one of those bitter Americans everyone is talking about!” or something like that.
Sen. Obama was given a gift of a flag pin this past week by a disabled vet and he put it on. It isn’t that he won’t wear one, he just doesn’t think it is necessary in order to PROVE one’s patriotism.

Yo lees pees his pants, when you get outa basic and hit the ground in Iraq you might just figger out ….. widdle pins made in China don’t make you a patriot.
Nor does crapping on somebody else’s blog daily, it just shows how delusional you really are.
MoveOn.org is so pissed at Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos that they now have a petition online to protest their helping Hillary “throw the kitchen sink” at the Democratic front-runner, Sen. Obama. Of course, Stephanopoulos served in the Clinton administration as the senior adviser to the president for policy and strategy. Maybe he fears James Carville accusing him of being a “Judas?”

Charlie Gibson gave Hillary a softball interview in December that would make Larry King envious. Hillary did a good job then of playing her “gender” card.

Speaking of wearing “flag pins”, There are numerous photos of Sen. John McCain NOT wearing the flag pin, but the charges against Sen. McCain come from Fox and the reich-wing and of course “Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican!”

2 big time neo con pundits and 1 news anchor have had their careers severely damaged within a 2 day period. This is huge. Watch Rachel Maddow smack down Joe Scarborough..video on Huff Po.. This story is gathering a lot of momentum on the internet. They may stay in their jobs…but it will never be the same for them.ABC is getting tons of complaints from US. Obama is playing ‘em all like a fiddle. Did he set them up to over react? H2O man on DU had a great blog the other day comparing Shrill and Obama to Mohammed Ali and Joe Lewis. I hope I got the name right. Lewis would wear himself out and then Ali would come back out of no where. The tide is turning.
if you asked them to put on a American flag pin, THEY WOULD!
Look like lees pees his pants, thinks you should ask people to be patriotic, and putting on made in china cheap jewelry is all they need to do, like Ricky man on dog Sanitarium thought a bumper sticker was the same as serving in Iraq.
Too bad neither of them really understand what Thomas Jefferson, Benjiman Franklin, or the other founding fathers really though about their ridiculas style of being patriotic.
BTW wanna bet George Washington and Abraham Lincoln didn’t wear a wittle piece of cheap jewelry to show all the other people just how hollow the really are, like the bed wetting gutless reichwing corrupt GOPers do.
Grant, pretty much everyone is pissed off at ABC/Gibson/Snuffy right now! I think they should apologize to the American people for making a travesty out of our democracy. They were pathetic the other night. By the way, on the ABC website, I left a comment along with 13,000 other people! LOL Wow. I’m sure there’s more than that today. It’s being considered that 9 out of 10 people leaving a comment are pissed off. Not bad, huh?
Bah hahahahahahaha, Gage! Love the videos you posted. I think I’ll share them with the foul-mouthed fem bloggers over on FireDogLake today. They’ll get a kick out of ‘em.
Thanks Molly for the heads up. I did a post on it this morning. Poor Joey. He’s very very nervous these days.
Clif, right you are as usual! The neocons are pathetic in their fake patriotism, though, I suppose, when one really hates the Constitution and the rights we have in this country, well then, they have to put a piece of jewelry made in China on their chests to “prove” they love both! Assholes they are. You’re right about our Forefathers. They didn’t even like invoking gawd in everything they did too, because they thought it would work against them.
