Obama 'credential' criticized for upside-down flag

DENVER – The "credentials" issued by the Democratic National Convention for fans of Sen. Barack Obama to attend his nomination-acceptance speech next week at Denver's football stadium are raising questions because they apparently have the U.S. flag flying upside down – an international signal of distress.

KUSA-TV in Denver reported its viewers have raised the issue, and online, a participant in a Gateway Pundit forum said, "That's an upside-down flag. It may not be intentional, but there it is."

Obama spokesman Matt Chandler told the station the flag isn't upside down; it was just stylized to blend the stars on Obama's shirt with the flag.

Pudintain is one of the foremost liars and haters on topix, and World Nut Daily is a wrong wing propaganda outlet. Is this the level topix will pursue? I thought you were a news outlet!

Only WND would consider a printing error newsworthy.
And only haters like pudintain would consider it news.

a driver is stuck in a traffic jam on US 95 south, just
outside of Washington, DC. Nothing is moving north or
south.
Suddenly a man knocks on his window. The driver rolls down
his window and asks, "What happened? What's the hold up?"
"Terrorists have kidnapped President Bush, Vice President
Cheney, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and Anne Coulter.
They are demanding a $100 million ransom. Otherwise, they
are going to douse them with gasoline and set them on
fire. We are going from car to car, taking up a
collection."
The driver asks, "On average how much is everyone giving?"
"About a gallon."

Obama along side an upside-down American flag. This is so stupid and so very sad. Take this as a sign, if you will, that the candidate just isn't right for America. This is perplexing coming from a guy that graduated from Harvard that surrounds himself with so many so-called brilliant advisors. All that brain power, but no common sense!!!

While visiting the United States in order to beg for money earlier this year, Mexican President Felipe Calderon wasted his breath by lecturing Americans about how illegal aliens from his nation-sewer are being mistreated.

Like the equally demented Vicente Fox, Calderon stupidly argues that Americans should be grateful to have 38 million, mostly Mexican, illiterate peasants dumped in our laps, for US taxpayers to educate, feed, house, and provide medical care for.

At only $200 billion a year, it’s quite a bargain, right Felipe?

Calderon is also taking a page from the Vicente Fox school of ignorance by declaring that American resistance to the invasion from south of our borders is an obvious case of racism!

What both Fox and Calderon conveniently forget to note is that illegal aliens come here on their own–no one is forcing these third-world free loaders and parasites to invade America!

Except, perhaps, the corrupt Mexican government!

Avoiding mistreatment of Mexican citizens in America is really quite simple, President Calderon.

Stop them from coming here to begin, with and take back the 38 million already here!

Repeat: Keep your damn garbage in Mexico and it will not be treated like garbage in America!

America does not need or want your castoffs.

Felipe Calderon, Vicente Fox, and all of the other corrupt thugs in the Mexican government must be forced to accept the following essential truths about America:

• In 1848, The Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo was ratified by both the U.S. and Mexican Congresses. That Treaty ended any and all claims Mexico had to land now a part of the United States.

• Native American Indians were the original owners of the American southwest. Were there were any valid property rights claims concerning that land, such rights would belong to Native American Indians, not Mexicans.

• America is a sovereign nation, totally independent of Mexico. It has been that way for over 200 years. We intend to keep it that way.

• In America, Mexico is considered a foreign nation and Spanish is a foreign language.

• America operates according to the rule of law which applies to everyone. This is true whether one is brown, black, yellow, lily-white, red, or an exotic hybrid of lavender and green.

• Being hard-working and good hearted is commendable. But those qualities do NOT entitle anyone to enter America illegally.

• Being bilingual is cool–provided one of the languages is English. Literacy in only Spanish is not cool here.

• Celebrating one’s cultural heritage is perfectly fine–as long as it does not interfere with prompt and complete assimilation into American culture.

• Driving while loaded or drunk may be “macho” in Mexico. But in America, it is considered stupid and criminal and is not tolerated, regardless of ones country of origin or cultural heritage.

• People here illegally are criminals, and as such, are most unwelcome. American citizens will fight to have such miscreants deported, regardless of whether or not families are involved. Illegal is illegal, family or not.

• Demanding that our borders be secured and that the law be enforced is the right of all American citizens and doing so does not make any one a racist or bigot.

• U.S. immigration laws exist to protect American citizens and others that are here legally, not to facilitate a foreigner’s pursuit of a better life.

• Those who come to America must adjust to our culture and traditions. We have no obligation or desire to change in deference to foreign newcomers, and

• Brown may be beautiful in Mexico, but in America, we are partial to colors that symbolize freedom under the rule of law. That would be Red, White and Blue.

Take note of this list Messrs. Calderon and Fox. Share it with other Mexicans considering an invasion north.

Passing it on may cause them to reconsider, and that would be a great thing!

He may fool some people not not all. This subtle hint and others such as distorting the Presidential seal say only one thing "I HATE AMERICA"!

The Democratic Party buzz-word: Change, has got to be a joke, since my state senators, and those of my neighboring states, have been Democrats for many years. And if we wanted change, we would do it. But now the Democratic Party presents Obama, whose parents did not care to reflect or support Mainstream American values. And I fear what changes Obama may represent.

Yup, looks like a stylized upside-down flag to me. Go figure, from the Nobama camp. I think during design and production, most people would have said "Wait a minute, we got the flag looking all upside-down, let's figure something else out 'cause this isn't right". But not the Nobama camp, sigh. Nice, real nice.

DO OBAMA OR MC CAIN SHOW ENOUGH MERCY AND COMPASSION THAT THEY WILL DEMAND PEDOPHILE PRIESTS BE EXECUTED ?

DEMAND THOSE STATUE WORSHIPPERS THAT AID AND ABET THEM BE BEHIND BARS OR EXPELLED ?

IF THEY HAVE NO SENSE OF JUSTICE, ARE VOID OF COMPASSION FOR CHILDREN, HOW WILL SUCH A CHRIST LESS PERSON DEAL WITH YOU?

He will rape the american people whenever he can.. or wink when his predatory buddies do. Such a person is past conscience

Every light and dictate of natural light given by God. He has ceased to be human and become a reptile.
Even a herd of cows will glorify God by protercting the young.

The revelation that NAMBLA priest Paul Shanley raped several young boys has been made even more scandalous by evidence that Cardinal Law sheltered him from detection

At the time of his death in October 1997, ten-year-old Jeffrey Curley of East Cambridge, Massachusetts, had known his two adult "friends," Charles Jaynes and Salvatore Sicari, for several months. The two adults enticed Jeffrey into a car, promising him $50 and a new bicycle if he joined them for a ride. Shortly thereafter, the two homosexual "lovers" attempted to rape the child, who resisted with everything his tiny frame could muster.

As a subsequent criminal trial showed, Jaynes -- a 300-pound auto mechanic -- subdued Jeffrey by sitting on him; he then suffocated the tiny child with a gasoline-soaked rag. Once the child was dead, Jaynes and his cohort raped the now-unresisting body. Their depraved appetites satiated, Jaynes and Sicari placed Jeffrey's body in a concrete-filled barrel and discarded it in a river. The car in which these unspeakable crimes were committed contained pornographic literature produced by NAMBLA -- the North American Man-Boy Love Association, a criminal syndicate composed of homosexuals who prey on young boys.

According to attorney Lawrence Fisoli, who represents Jeffrey's parents in a lawsuit against NAMBLA, the pederast organization trains homosexuals to stalk, seduce, and rape unsuspecting boys. As Father Enrique Rueda documented nearly two decades ago in his prescient study The Homosexual Network, NAMBLA "was founded in 1978 at a Boston conference on Man/Boy Love and the Age of Consent." In addition to publishing three journals, the organization created a "Prisoner Support Committee" and "Emergency Defense Fund" to aid homosexual child rapists in trouble with the law.

But Fr. Rueda's most shocking detail about NAMBLA's founding conference was the involvement of "Father Paul Shanley, representative of Boston's Cardinal [Humberto] Medeiros for sexual minorities...." According to an account of the event published in a magazine called Gays Week, Shanley spoke of a case in which a young boy enticed into a homosexual relationship "was rejected by family and society but helped by a boy-lover." Imprisoning the predatory adult homosexual, according to Shanley, "began the psychic demise of that childDocuments recently released by the Boston Archdiocese disclose that Shanley "admit[ted] to the substance of complaints -- sexual activity with 4 adolescent males...." In fact, the archdiocese had known of Shanley's predatory perversion for decades -- but continued to assign him to posts in which he had access to potential victims. "All of the suffering that has taken place at the hands of Paul Shanley, a serial child molester for four decades ... none of it had to happen," insists attorney Roderick MacLeish, representing alleged victim Gregory Ford

I can't figure out which one is true, some people tell me that Obama's campaign is a well orchestrated attempt to undermine the presidency by getting a Muslim elected, now others are saying this is just another slap in the face of Americans by this American hating candidate's campaign. Both of these theories can't be true, I'm not sure which IDIOTS to believe. I'm thinking neither one has much real credibility when it comes to choosing a candidate to support.

Newanarchy, let me help you ...

There is no muslim running for office.

There is no "American-hating candidate" running for office.

If you would rather believe the fearmongering and hatemongering, you should vote for McBush 3 where we shall get a hot-tempered, mean-spirited George-brutha who will give us the patriotic words but will be a not-so-smart clone of what we have now.

And about Iria who writes something in the 'snfu-blog' and posts it on here is fine. Huffington post is OK too? WND just did a bash peice on McCain so I will not post it since they are to right wing for you. Just because you are left of center does not mean everyone elso want to read the Hill or other left news. Iria is left and I am right, we post our stuff and it usally balances out. What is wrong with that. If want to see one side only then leave. Or better yet try to becoma an editor.
