Another ‘look in the mirror first’ moment

This flag-pin controversy manufactured by conservatives is absurd on its face and ridiculous in its mountain-making out of molehills. The “right-wing smear machine” has questioned Barack Obama’s patriotism and allegiance to this country because he doesn’t wear an American flag lapel pin.
Setting aside the outrageousness of the controversy itself, which I plan to write in greater length about in the next couple of days, one of the standard bearers leading the charge is the always entertaining (because of his buffoonery) Republican Congressman Jack Kingston. In another entertaining foot-in-mouth moment for the Georgia Republican, as he launched into his absurd attack on Obama’s “refusal” to wear an American flag on his lapel during an interview earlier this week with Dan Abrams on MSNBC, the congressman forgot one very important detail… he wasn’t wearing one.

I guess I hadn’t realized that the little flag is what truly makes a good politician. I guess that probably makes me a downright terrorist because I don’t even salute the flag! I’m glad Dan Abrams pointed that out! Hilarious!
