5. Freepers? You mean the idiots who believed the B girl the minute they heard the

story?
the idiots who think Obama is a muslim?
the idiots who think he took his oath of office for U.S. senate using a Koran?
the idiots who think Obama is the anti-christ?
the idiots who think the Clintons are in control of everything the democrats do?

here's a clue.. about 99% of what is said over there is desperate, tin-foil crap.
snopes is able to debunk just about everything that is spinning over there.
they are a hate-site and if you waste time reading and trying to "debunk" their lies, I feel sorry for you.

6. Try The Google.

Better yet, don't waste your time. It's an old story; it was debunked (the flags were apparently being bagged in trash bags for storage), and it doesn't matter anyhow. Don't waste your energy arguing with freepers; they are too stupid to bother with.

7. Oh Jesus! The old flag story?

OK, thousands of flags were carefully rolled up and ready to be transported to the next Obama event, no way would they want to toss these perfectly good flags.

They were awaiting pick up, but some worker at the venue "found" them, claimed that they were "near" a dumpster and therefore "trash" and promptly too them over to a McCain event claiming they'd been thrown away.

Old story, story of theft and smear!

Thrown Away Flags' Story False, Dem Convention Official Says

Days before September 11, on the same morning that John McCain and Barack Obama released a joint statement pledging to avoid politics in light of the anniversary of the terrorist attacks, McCain's campaign accused Democrats of throwing away 12,000 American flags.

"The campaign says the flags were recovered from Invesco Field after the Democrats concluded their convention there," Fox News reported, "and they are going to be used as part of the warm-up ceremonies before McCain takes the stage" for a rally in Colorado Springs, Col.

But according to a senior official involved in organizing the Democratic convention, the McCain camp is simply lying about the flags.

"All of the flags at Invesco were picked up and put in bags and into storage, along with the unused flags and campaign signs. The flags were going to be donated, and the signs were going to be sent out to be used elsewhere," the official said, speaking anonymously since he was not authorized to talk to the press.

Fox News' Carl Cameron and Bonney Kapp reported that they had "been told" that "a vendor at Invesco Field found the flags, which were going to be thrown out, and turned them over to the McCain campaign."

The Democratic convention official says that's not true.
