Vets furious over Obama’s face on US flag

An American flag featuring an image of President Barack Obama’s face was removed from outside a local Florida Democratic Party headquarters Tuesday after several veterans called it “despicable” and a “desecration,” the Orlando Sentinel reported.
Veterans gathered Tuesday afternoon to protest in front of the Lake County Democratic Party headquarters, where the flag — featuring Obama’s face in the blue section where the stars normally go — was flying beneath a traditional American flag. The confrontation ended after party chairwoman Nancy Hurlbert took the flag down, according to the Sentinel.
The protest started after Don Van Beck, a Korean war veteran and executive director of the Veterans Memorial at Fountain Park in Leesburg, Fla., snapped several pictures of the flag and distributed them to others. He told WFTV-TV seeing it made his blood boil.
“I can‘t describe how upset was because you just don’t do that to the American flag,” he told the station.

    As a Vet I find this to be a big Middle Finger pointed at me and other Vets. 
    Liberals are going to keep pushing.

     Idolatry is a pejorative term for the worship of an idol, a physical object such as a cult image, as a god,[1] or practices believed to verge on worship, such as giving undue honour and regard to created forms other than God.

    I have to agree with you.  No man, woman or president is "bigger' than the country.  No one should be put above the American people.  I guess the idiots who put Obama face on the flag felt it was better to replace the fifty stars with ne big superstar...Barack Obama.  Horse sh*t!

    Let's not forget that Obama also gave a campaign speech that was filmed in a room in the White House.  Using the White House premises as a campaign platform is also NOT PERMITTED.
