      This woman is terrifying. The crazed wide-eyed look, the unhinged screeching diatribes, the whole package scares the hell out of me.

      Put that crazed look on any kid come Halloween and they'd be the scariest looking trick or treater on the block!

      You mean tactics like removing the flag's stars and replacing them with various logos like Glenn Beck did?

      Or maybe removing all the stars from the flag and replacing only the stars that represent those states which Glenn Beck believes deserve to remain on the field of blue.

      There are ways of desecrating the spirit of the flag that never actually lay a hand, or foot, upon its image.
      The map is not the territory. The image is not the spirit.

        No! Please... I... I'm sorry... but images like that usually end up with someone using those court room dolls to describe where the bad man touched them.

      As Jed Clampett would say, between the two of them they don't have the IQ of a retarded mosquito.

        What did a retarded mosquito ever do to you that you have to malign it so badly?

      How about this one...

      Or this (you're not supposed to wear the flag as clothing by the way)...

      Or this one (not supposed to place the flag upside down unless it's a real emergency).

      This is a no-no as well...

      I could go on and on with this stuff. But for folks who allegedly decry the defacing of the flag, they seem to do it with regularity themselves.

        Like they care about anything they do. All they do is decry others.

          Didn't she win the Miss Thunder Bay Thights pageant? Or isn't there a bay around there?

          I feel I have cheapened myself. Oh well, I'm a liberal. The rigth should expect it.

      You know, Ms. Malkin, 'agitprop' is a commie word. Has it's roots in the Russian language. You a commie? Cause you seem awful familiar with them there commie words.

      Look! I've produced an argument every bit as insightful and intelligent as Michelle Malkin has, with less than three seconds of thought.

      If you want an intelligent opinion on the flag, and burning or defacing it, give Bill Hicks a listen.

      Fox is really jumping on this story like it means something.

      First of all, it's not an American flag that the artist is defacing, it's a representation of a flag, one that he painted on the wall...

      If there ever was a Flag Burning Amendment, (as distasteful as that is), I'm pretty sure this wouldn't be covered by it. I believe it would have to be an actual Flag...otherwise we would be in a heap of trouble over photocopies of flags...

      It's the symbolism that they don't like and the message is visceral and powerful and actually cuts through all the B.S.

      And, if they would pay attention... I think the message of that artist is a patriotic one that I agree with. If we continue down this path and ignore the least amongst us, we would no longer be America...
