About that flag-pin question...
One more thing about Wednesday night's Democratic debate and then I'll let it go. Determining which of the discussion topics was the most inane is tricky, but I'd have to go with the flag lapel-pin question.
Early on in the debate, Charlie Gibson said he wanted to offer a question that "goes to the basic issue of electability." Gibson said, "[I]t is a question raised by a voter in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, a woman by the name of Nash McCabe." From videotape, McCabe then asked Obama if he "believe[s] in" the American flag, and why he doesn't "wear the flag."
For ABC, this offers a little distance from the trivia -- the moderators didn't ask about lapel pins, some regular ol' person did. I had assumed that ABC went around western Pennsylvania, looking for voters with good questions, and thought McCabe's was provocative.
But that's not quite what happened -- ABC appears to have sought McCabe out.
Given Gibson's FALSE statement about capital gains tax cuts causing increase in revenue, someone MIGHT think Mr. Gibson was a little biased in his moderation when you add this little tidbit in. Add in Stephonopolous' former positions and the dynamic of the whole debate its easy to see how someone might come to the conclusion that these two chuckleheads had an agenda.
Why hasn't anyone but Keith Olbermann posted that audio of Stephanlpolus dictating the Ayers question from Sean Hannity on Hannity's radio show?
I'm watching Dan Abrams and they say they have a audio tape of Hillary Clinton attacking MoveOn.org for bullying her supporters. Is this true?
I'm a member of MoveOn and I signed the ABC petition, but to say that the left-wing of the Democratic Party is against her will become a self-fulfilling prophecy! How in the hell will she win in November if she doesn't have the extreme left-wing to combat the extreme Right-wing?
All of this is getting surreal.
My letter to Charly and George,
Word has it that Hillary Clinton was tape recorded in a closed meeting slaming Move On Dot Org.
Anyone else hear this?
i wish i was officially working for the obama campaign.
all he had to say was, "don't you know those things are made in china?"
DEBATE OVER.
i'm confused. i don't think i've ever seen Mrs. Clinton wearing a flap lapel pin or flag brooch. Is she electable?
The debate was a farce, but it has shown the average Americans what a worthless medium are so-called news, really is. The fact people were booing isn't lost on many of the execs. Americans are waking up out of the nightmare that the media and Bush have lain at our feet. Lets hope they are smart enough to not vote for McCain.

'nuff said.
Ok, HuffPo is reporting it now that Hillary is essentially attacking MoveOn.org and their supporters.
Wow, I have the feeling she might pull a Joe Lieberman if she doesn't win the nomination. Instead of going to the Republican side, she'll just try to split the Democratic Party in half. That would be perfectly fine by me. I'd love to have a Progressive Party with people like Obama, Feingold and Hagel. She can have the Reagan Democrats who constantly vote against their self-interests anyway which empowers the Conservative movement and drags the entire party down.
Deep Thought for the Day:
How come we never hear a question to a Republican defended with the rationale that it will be used against him by the Democrats?

Back in 2003, I got only over-the-air television. ABC was the network that was most actively promoting the war, with their news coverage morphing into marketing the war. So, they embrace the neocon middle-east agenda, and share ownership in the disastrous results.
So, as Obama pointed out, the strategy is to raise secondary issues, as the GOP did in 2004, with the Kerry/Vietnam issue.
We need to focus on bad judgment leading to the war, bad economic "borrow and spend" policies leading to the current weak dollar and corresponding inflation, and the fact that the GOP hasn't had any health care policies designed to help the average American.

Obama should not succumb to the pressure. He should not wear a flag pin.
If he does, it will show those whiners that not only does their nonsense count and that their trivial BS matters, but that Obama is willing to bend over backwards to satisfy their inane flag pin issue.
Let's not reduce the political dialog in this country to flag pins. It's ridiculous and immature as it is. Other countries with a more educated electorate must be feeling really sorry for the US these days.

Because there are two kinds of patriotism, one unites a nation in a common purpose representing who we are in that effort. The other divides and separates us from the world falsely inflating our stature. Bush divided this nation with divisive patriotism and used the flag as a symbolic sword to separate those who are with him or against him. I wouldn’t wear one either if pressed by neo-con challenging my patriotism knowing good and well what Bush has done to the world and this nation.

The word TIP comes from T.I.P.S. (To Ensure Prompt Service). Most people have never even heard of this.
Sheet,boyz Talking about beer is better than anything else We been subjected to,lately.
in essence, ABC concocted this story for ratings and for the almighty dollar. unfortunately the woman became a pawn in the game they play and as sad as her story is, she has chosen to focus in on a lapel pin. this is the ignorance that the democratic party is up against. these people will cling to their all-american ideals no matter what kinds of facts are brought to bear. To win this election, a way must be sought to win over the great mass of ignorant voting americans out there. my only thought is, is the winning back of america worth the price we're going to have to pay, to grovel and cater to that slice of america that claims bush as their own. personally, i say stick with the ideals and if they come along then so be it. if not, let the devastation of this country be their legacy. too ignorant to see that which is set out before them.
what abc did was what all of the networks have done. they have resorted to the foulest form of dishonesty. yet, one might ask, who will know it other than those who read and write for liberal blogs. again, a classic case of preaching to the choir.
In my mind the search for and use of Nash is damning. It shows premeditation to an attempt to destroy Obama. It is supposed to look like: we searched through numerous "man on the street clips and chose this. Bullshit. They searched for an known entity and added impact to a lightweight smear. I'm beyond caring about who motivated this. I would not be surprised by any of the three obvious answers; Clinton, GOP, or upper Disney management.
In a sense I think it backfired. Obama seems to be surviving it nicely and may well be able to ride a MSM bashing to a healthy bump.
George gets McCain this weekend. I want to see the same tough National Inquirer standards for that crusty zombie.
My fantasy was that Obama's answer would be "Mrs. McCabe, I couldn't help but notice that at the time you were videotaped asking your question, you weren't wearning an American flag pin either. Nor were you wearing red, white and blue clothing, or any other overt symbol of American patriotism. Yet by your actions, by participating as a citizen questioner in this important debate, you let your actions speak for themselves. Please try to understand, as a deeply and sincerely patriotic person, that you and I just might have more in common than you have assumed, based on my choice of jewelry or lack of it, based on my racial and ethnic background, or based on any other visual superficiality -- or God forbid, based on some viral email you've received about my patriotism. Please think about my words, and I'm gonna give the ABC people a direct line you can call to reach me in a few days, to tell me your thoughts about this. I want to hear from you personally, and if you'd like we can have a private conversation about our patriotism, yours and mine. No TV and no press. I'd appreciate that very much."
Although I am not an Obamaton I will say this about that pin flap. At the age of 54 I remember what it was like growing up here in this country and it wasn't pretty. I can't speak for all black folks, but I am not a flag waving, pin wearing person because I was never allowed or encouraged to be. As far as I'm concerned my little 10 year old personage was the most hated thing in this country, unwanted as a citizen and often told so, even to my face. I knew whites hated me and I knew why. Not only were they forced to end slavery, but they were also forced to face what they had done to a whole race of people. Do I love my country any less? No, and probably more than most whites. I might be dead now because of what European whites have done to Africans on the continent. A flag pin? What does that signify? The flag? It's a nice symbol which has been trampled upon by whites for generations now in the name of who knows what, brought low and sullied. The Constitution? Now that's the ticket. Lol. I'm hated in that document too, aren't I? But no matter, I still love it for its' meaning and the fact that it is one of the most perfectly written documents on earth. No, I don't wave no flag and I don't wear no pin, but I do love my country, in spite of itself.

Are you serious? People raise millions of dollars and campaign for 16 hours a day for months at a time to win elected office because they HATE this country. I can't give you one actual example, but by judging by the direction we're headed, I can only assume most politicians hate this country to do what they do to it.
We are under a very controlled media in this country. If this doesn't make you question the "official" stories of such controversial events as the beginning of this war etc. I don't know what will. Air America's Richard Greene is fleshing out some of the problems though.

The flag has lost its original meaning and no longer includes the values of all the people. It is entirely the province of Christian fundamentalists, neocons, super-nationalists, and war-mongers.
It has morphed into the mottled image of its corporate owners; a ruddy, savage emblem of marching armies, windowless jail cells, and sneering, well-groomed men in blue suits.
The flag has fallen from its once lofty perch and merged with the sludge of corporate profiteering, calculated sadism and pre-emptive war.

Starting on 9/11 I flew my flag from my house every day but stopped a little over a year later because too many neighbors either accused me of being a republican or just assumed it. I felt offended by some of the comments, so I stopped. Now it only flies on certan days appropriate for display. I have since come to believe that republicans have hijacked the flag, just like they made 'liberal' a dirty word without acknowledging that liberals have done more to make America great. All the Reagan-Bushes have ever done is harm the country.

"Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."-- Ben Franklin. I may be an atheist but beer certainly is proof that somebody loves us. Lapel flag pins, on the other hand, prove only that one is a sheep.
My question to Obama: Why don't you tell all these people criticizing you for not wearing a flag pin, all the while not wearing flag pins themselves, to shut the fuck up.
Peter G @ 87:
Ben was wise.
sadly, I feel a need to defend ABC on this tripe. Middle America doesn't care about issues, largely because they don't understand them. ABC may have been right on target with this crap.
Both candidates have had ample opportunity to discuss the real issues in the previous debates. This batch of garbage is exactly what is being talked about around water coolers and in bars, etc, all across this nation. Just ten minutes ago I had an old friend say Obama was Muslim. Sad but true. This bullshit is what most Americans are actually talking about, and needed to be addressed. Those of us here are the informed, and alas, the minority. All in all, I think this debate spoke to more voters than most of the others. Again, I am very saddened by that, but I believe it to be true.

IF it is true that anyone doesn't understand the issues, the answer is not to pander crap at them. Perhaps if the MSM covered real issues with the depth of coverage they provide to celebrity news people would understand them.
Waterboard the labotomizers!
I don't generally find it constructive to bash a network for asking tough questions, but only if they are actually meaningful. This flag-pin bull is probably the most ridiculous criticism of a political candidate I've ever heard. So the dude doesn't like to wear some cliche pin.....who cares? If the American people are really worried about this, I think that we really need to re-examine our priorities.
Yes, we can hear you. America can hear you! Stand up America.. wake up from your sleep-induced 911 nap. There's not much time left you assholes.

flag pin = divisive patriotism
I can’t help but speak out on this over played issue. It would be refreshing for the media or even a blog to call it exactly what it is at last, divisive patriotism. It seems to me there are two kinds of patriotism one which unites a nation in a common purpose humbly and yet proudly representing who we are as a people in that effort. The other divides and separates us from the world falsely inflating our stature denying our interdependency with the rest of the planet. Considering all Bush, Cheney, and the neo-con pundit hacks have done to this nation over the last eight years divisive patriotism best encompasses their platform.
All of their “with us or against us” tripe such as using a flag lapel pin as a symbolic sword to separate those who are patriotic or not, who is for the war or not, who is for the troops or not. This absurdity has been so overplayed now it comes across as a strange cultish gesture you would expect to see used in a B horror flick where the leading role character must put on the lapel pin in order to live. To me the greatest risk to America isn’t terrorism, its divisive patriotism. And the rights greatest weapon has been to reduce complex topics to narrow talking points and dichotomous questions others can only agree with or risk being branded a traitor or leftist nut. Knowing good and well the flag pin is being used by the right to further polarize this nation I wouldn’t wear one either.

At the risk of seeming cruel - fuck Nash McCabe. Honestly, here's a woman who has had to work herself to damn near to death supporting a husband with extreme medical needs and no health coverage, and the thing that ticks her off is a flag pin??? She has to be pretty screwed up in the head. But you know what? She's one of those "average, salt of the earth Americans" to whom the GOP and corporate owned shills like Hillary just love to pay lip service. They're so predictable; they can always be counted on to vote against their own best interest. Admittedly, there's probably a racial component to this as well. I don't doubt for a minute if Obama were to show up at her home guaranteeing that he could alleviate her's and her husband's hardship, and even bring along the Lord Jesus himself to vouch for him, people like McCabe still wouldn't give him her vote. Why? Because she ain't votin' for no darkie, that's why.
