Vets angry over American flag featuring Obama


WFTV posted:

Van Beck found it flying outside Lake County Democratic headquarters under the stars and stripes. Marine Corps vet John Masterjohn was seeing red.


Nearly a dozen veterans went to the door and aimed to take it down.


"No. This is private property. This is private property. You're not allowed to touch anything. I'll call the police," Democratic Party chairwoman Nancy Hulbert said. "Just went online. Just went online and looked up the flag code. There is no higher-up in Lake County. I'm responsible. I take responsibility."

The flag, which features a picture of President Obama, was taken down Tuesday afternoon.

Is it still an American flag if it doesn't have the stars on it? Doesn't it have to have the stars and bars on it to be an American Flag? I don't understand the outrage.

Korean war veteran Don Van Beck said his blood was boiling.

"I can't describe how upset was because you just don't do that to the American flag," Van Beck said.

Van Beck found it flying outside Lake County Democratic headquarters under the stars and stripes. Marine Corps vet John Masterjohn was seeing red.

"Joseph Stalin, pictures of Mao, pictures of Adolph Hitler. The pomp, the ceremony -- the flags like that," Masterjohn said.



They probably have their reasons for being upset. Probably reminds them of fascism.

Being upset doesn't give you the right to touch other peoples property.

If it's private property do those people have to adhere to the flag code?

Agreed.

It doesn't say anywhere that any veteran touched the flag property of the Democrat party.

Just wanted to clarify whose flag it belonged to flying over the Democrat Party's property.

The veterans merely knocked on the door and pointed out the irony.

Sounds like an awesome flag for trolling idiots.

I will still NOT buy one.

I didn't realize we advocated vigilante justice for violating flag etiquette. Are these proud patriots going to run around and rip the American flag mesh shirts off of hillbillies or the hats and tshirts on Teahadists?
