When Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Tim Kaine addressed the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia Wednesday night, the North Carolina GOP thought it quickly spotted something wrong.
“[Tim Kaine] wears a Honduras flag pin on his jacket but no American flag,” the state party tweeted as he was speaking. “Shameful.”
There was one problem: Kaine’s pin, which had a single blue star on a white background bordered with red, wasn’t the flag of Honduras, where he spent a year as a missionary decades ago. It was the symbol for Blue Star Families, or those with members serving in the military.

Full blown flag-o-philia is on for the GOP. What's most important about this is that these super pro-Americans can't identify what I can only assume is a regularly seen pin in their state. The people who did this, after all, are NCs GOP. With 10s of thousands of army members and military families in NC, I would assume that this pin is somewhat of a fixture in NC social gatherings.
I guess they either thought it was the Honduran flag and tried to score some quick points with the xenophobes, or they really had no clue what this was and went with the first flag they thought looked like it.[/FONT][/COLOR]
Not a hard mistake to make if you are looking at an open boarders liberal that wants to bring his kids in Honduras to the US. And their kids too.
Yeah....that was a pretty significant 'ooopsie'. If the person making the comment has any character, a public apology should be forthcoming.

But it's an easy mistake to make for a group that's eternally looking for something to be outraged by and constantly in a state of butthurt.

So, how many Soviet flags are still flying at the convention?
How many of your kids are serving in the military? What branch of the military did you serve in? Unless you have positive answers to those questions you should STFU about criticizing anybody honoring their military son.
Well, I understand the Donald has several at his place. Of course when you depend on the Russians for much of your wealth, it's hardly surprising.

I think that was a little over the line. People can't talk about the military unless they were in the military. Oh, if they were in, they can only talk about the specific branch they were in? Otherwise STFU? Come on.
You know that Russia doesn't fly that flag anymore, right? :lamo
Army, 11M. You?
Oh, well that makes a big difference:lamo He's still a Putin stooge - the same Putin who used to be a KGB Colonel.
I don't believe a single word you say. In any event, the post was not directed at you. Unless you want to ridicule Kaine for honoring his son. In which case it does apply to you.
But now Putin supports Trump, so it's all good.
