Goodbye to ABC TV

ABC News Joins Obama- Bans American Flag Lapel Pins-

ABC NEWS BANS FLAG LAPEL PINS
This is what we get from the present stuff going on in Washington . What next? It still scares me!!

Barbara Walters said that this was going to hurt ABC bad. As You know she works for ABC .

ABC NEWS BANS FLAG LAPEL PINS!
YESTERDAY THE BRASS AT ABC NEWS ISSUED ORDERS FORBIDDING REPORTERS TO WEAR LAPEL PIN AMERICAN FLAGS OR OTHER PATRIOTIC INSIGNIA. THEIR REASONING WAS THAT ABC SHOULD REMAIN NEUTRAL ABOUT 'CAUSES'.

SINCE WHEN IS PATRIOTISM TO BE DISCOURAGED?

I URGE YOU TO BOYCOTT ABC AND ITS SPONSORS AND AFFILIATES.
WE ARE SLOWLY LOSING EVERYTHING OUR COUNTRY STANDS FOR AND
EVERYTHING OUR MEN AND WOMEN FOUGHT AND DIED TO PRESERVE!
PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO AS MANY AS YOU CAN.
ABC=American Broadcasting Company? NO! Now it should be named the
ALIEN BROADCASTING COMPANY! Who is in charge, George Soros?

The "no lapel pin" policy is the new policy of the corrupt ruling class.

Screw ABC, ESPN, Disney and all the rest of their mega-conglomerate, anti-American/pro-greed philosophy.

No Stars and Stripes, but it is perfectly okay to wear the Hammer & Sickle? :rolleyes:

I would like to hear the liberal apologists comment on this....anyone? Maybe not, as it is truly indefensible.

Nothing screams "phony patriotism" like a flag pin on a politician. Some how we are suppose to forget they are crooks just because they are wearing a flag pin on their lapel.

I just wish I had thought of them first. That guy must be rolling in dough. Do they have them for the Confederate flag? Maybe I could make a buck or two selling them.

But if the flag pin is on a news reader, is that "phony patriotism?" Who are you to determine the phoniness of someone's intentions?

This chain mail has been circulating since 9/11:

Obama was tacked on to the message during the campaign when he was attacked for not always wearing one. As President, he wears one all the time.

Probably. I am an US citizen who is 63 years old and over the years I have seen my fair share of phonys. It has been my experence the louder they shout something the more likely they have figure out a way to turn the shouting into cash. If you want to support our troops give the money to the USO or VFW or some other group that helps the the troops instead of buying a flag pin made in China.

The incongruity between this policy and libs' incessant claims to patriotism should be evident to all. Libs will be the first ones to pound their chest claiming to be at least as patriotic as their best conservative counterpart. In fact, BO himself back in '08 (I think it was) during a campaign speech when he lamented and decried the terrible 8 Tril debt Bush saddled us with, claimed that such policy was downright unpatriotic, implying that he was patriotic since he was dead against such sinful, wasteful, unconscionable spending.

And didn't Biden once say that the more taxes we pay, the more patriotic we are, clearly implying that Conservatives who hate taxes are unpatriotic?

If anything at all, ABC should have a policy demanding their people wear the flag pins! :rolleyes:

It does not rub me the wrong way. What rubs me the wrong way is calling someone not unpatriotic for not wearing one. Why should anyone be forced wear something made in China to considered an American patriot?

I wasn't aware ABC had previously forced anyone to wear anything...except possibly clothes, of course. :rolleyes: So, it appears that what does rub you the wrong way is if someone freely chooses to wear such a pin?
