Defending Obama’s disgraceful new flag design, Snopes justifies it as follows:

So… Obama wants to take us back to the policies of 1860?

  1. Yes but in the 1860’s we didn’t have the Flag Code and flags were routinely used in ways that would seem disrespectful to modern sensibilities. Kind of like how slavery is offensive to most modern Americans (not sure that you could call Sen. Byrd modern.)

  2. Oh, come on. Just because Breckinridge was the last Confederate Secretary of War, who fled the country to avoid treason charges, let’s not beat up on the guy. I think he redeemed himself by being the great-grandfather of actor and drag queen John Cabell “Bunny” Breckinridge, “The Ruler” in Plan 9 from Outer Space. Now, that dude knew how to let his freak flag fly. This just proves y’all are homophobes. !!!OBLAMA2012!PDQ!SLOBBERS&TINGLES!!!!

    I’m Chris Matthews, and I approved this message.

  3. @Les – ok, you made me laugh out loud.

    @Basil – this is my shocked face. Or should I say “deface.”

    @Unistat – why does the part of Forward! insist on turning back the clock?

    @JeffersonFan – is it a surprise that Obama defaced the flag? For four years, he’s defaced the office of the presidency.
