"Vets angry over American flag featuring Obama

LAKE COUNTY, Fla. — Tempers are flaring over a version of the American flag flying in Lake County. A veterans group says the flag is an outrage.

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

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.

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."

"If you've been a veteran and fought -- and some died for this flag -- you don't want to see it desecrated. That's how simple it is," Van Beck said. "

Adolescent, pampered vets with a ridiculously high sense of of self worth.

With I could sit at bars all day and bitch about the government and look for fucked up flags while collecting government checks, for life.

He's the king troll along with the Cap'n. Good guys nonetheless.

We're not trolls. We're merely counterbalances to Conkunism run amok. Without us and people like us here (and there are many), few people would know the other side of the story.

GObama!!

Re the flag thing, I don't think anyone should have his or her likeness on it. Reagan, Obama, Gingrich, whatever.

Bullshit. We haven't updated the flag for quite awhile now. I think this looks rather nice:

Stupid fake outrage - saw simliar Reagan and Bush flags.

They are only upset because it is a black man there.
