huh. this item has been removed from the obama store, but according to the cached page, it was a limited-edition print in the "artists for obama" series. it was never a real flag, and it was independently designed.

Oh My Dog!
Or in German, Unser Kampf. Think how close that is to Mein Kampf.
All this whining just to say "Obama is like Hitler.".
And this is dangerously close to being a Godwin.

God forbid anyone use something that might loosely be related to the word struggle because Hitler used the word struggle in a book.

US Flag Cocde: No other flag should be placed above it. The flag of the United States is always the first flag raised and the last to be lowered.
There was no code violation. Of important note, the US Flag Code is not enforceble law.
The rest of this rant is just the typical word vomit from a guy with a really funny last name.

Why German? And "Old Glory" has stripes, too.
Think how close you are to modelling a nice jacket with VERY long sleeves. I do. You wouldn't be able to type this shit anymore.
heh heh heh.

Hey people, there's a poll on the site. I think you know what to do with it.

OhJohnNo"The official title of the Obama rainbow flag: “Our stripes.” That is yet another mistake. Stripes are a symbol of struggle, and often of political punishment. So “Our stripes” could mean “Our struggle.” Or in German, Unser Kampf. Think how close that is to Mein Kampf."

And yet these people also complain about lengthy laws that actually seek to accomplish something......

Wow, you were ripping right along, and then your idea just kind of went and folded in on itself; as if it fell into a black hole of stupidity...

"Todd Starnes, at Fox Radio, describes a second print, showing the Obama rainbow flag inside the outline of the continental USA. "
Fox network was created specifically to tell lies.
" Or in German, Unser Kampf. Think how close that is to Mein Kampf."
The Republic party wants to outlaw gay right, the teaching of evolution and abortion. Nazi Germany did all those things. Think how close your party is to Nazi Germany.

After reading this whole long screed, I only have one question to pose to the conservative intellectual elites who bring to light this most important issue of a serious breach of etiquette of flag worship:
Who the fuck cares?

> Or in German, Unser Kampf. Think how close that is to Mein Kampf.
Did you know that "Mein Kampf" is an anagram of "Fak MP neim", or "fuck MP name", which is a very childish attempt at saying that members of parliaments or other legislators and statesmen have stupid names?
I don't care what you think, that's how I interpret it!

I've never understood the pathology of worshipping bits of coloured cloth. It's exactly the same as the fetishism of the primitive tribesman for his juju idol.
What magical power do inanimate objects like flags have, that they must be respected and ritualised, as thought they were people or gods?

"rainbow flag design"
'Rainbow', eh? Well, considering how the prismatic effect of sunlight through raindrops splits such into the constituent parts of the visual band of the electromagnetic spectrum: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo & Violet, where - and what colours - are the other two, never mind the rest?!

Ok, wow.
1) Blood is not that color. Blood is never that color. Not when it's fresh, not when it's dry, just no.
2) The white spaces as stripes? That's a very basic design principle: implied lines. There aren't any lines denoting where the white ends, but at first glance, the brain will use where the red ends to "connect the dots," and make the white lines feel like they have ends too. Simple and effective.
3) Yeah, that's Obama's logo. It's for Obama. It's not the world's craziest leap in logic that it would be there. And that's a rainbow? Shit, I never bothered to get off my ass and check, but I always assumed that was a road or something. Rainbows, dear heart, are usually more colorful. Truly.
4) So what'd we learn today, class? It's a very common practice to take a very recognizable symbol/image/phrase and change it so that it looks different superficially, yet still resembles the original so it still evokes the same reactions as the original. In this case, the American flag.

Since when is the 'Obama logo' an O with a rainbow below it? Last time I checked, it was an O with red and white stripes. You, know, the AMERICAN FLAG.

That's a whole lot of typing to say nothing at all. Do you get paid by the word or something?
