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.
The group demanded Hurlbert remove the flag, saying it was a violation of the federal flag code that prohibits any “marks, insignia, letters, words, figures, designs, picture or drawings of any nature,” the Leesburg Daily Commercial reported. According to the Sentinel, Hurlbert said she would look into the issue but didn’t take the flag down right away. A short while later, she conceded and removed it.
“We‘re proud of our president and we didn’t realize it was in violation,” Hurlbert said. “I am the chair and I take responsibility for this.”
Hurlbert told the newspaper it was the first time anyone had complained about the flag, which she said was given as a gift and had flown for several months without any issue.
“It’s a cult of personality to show his face, like Stalin or Mao,” retired Marine John Masterjohn told the Sentinel. “It’s despicable. They don’t realize how sick they are.”
“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 told WFTV.
Hurlbert told Fox News she plans to contact an attorney about the situation, and was non-committal about whether she’ll fly it again.
Still, because it went unnoticed for so long, she said she has a feeling it’s “not about the flag.”
“It leads me to believe that it’s not about the flag,” she told Fox News. “Certain elements cannot accept Barack Obama as president.”

Posted on March 14, 2012 at 1:06pm“Certain elements cannot accept Barrack Obama as president”, Hurlbert, that is the problem! He is the president, not the stars that represent the state of this nation! And Mrs. Hurlbert if you cannot realize the insult to veteran’s and patriots, especially the ones who gave their lives for what that flag flies for, over our country, then you are the one who cannot accept our flag as for what it is meant to be! Americans gave their lives for what that flag stands for and I assure you, that it was not a photo of Obama! I also demand that she apologize for that unproven last statement!!!!

Posted on March 14, 2012 at 1:18pmMrs. Hurlbert and everyone around her knew it was wrong. If you have never seen anything like it with the US Flag, it might be a problem. I’m sure the tag on the Flag said “Made in China” or some pissant “blue state”
Veterans of Florida, Thank You for your continued service to this blessed Nation. Stay strong and VOTE early!

They could make just an Obama flag…just like Stalin or Mao, that would be OK, you know they are communists and proud of their muslim communist president. But the never of saying she was contacting an attorney? WTF are they thinking? Sorry, I am not feeling that love thing for democrats doing this. I think this is the first time in history folks…we see more and more of it as they are in the open. I also let my neighbors see me in the open with my AR 15 to let them know, you might get me and seize my property….but not without opening up a can of whipass.

Especially pertinent to this case are our decisions recognizing the communicative nature of conduct relating to flags.

Goguen, 415 U.S. 566, 588 (1974) (WHITE, J., concurring in judgment) (treating flag “contemptuously” by wearing pants with small flag sewn into their seat is expressive conduct). That we have had little difficulty identifying an expressive element in conduct relating to flags should not be surprising. Texas v. Johnson, 491 US 397

1. The flag should never be dipped to any person or thing. It is flown upside down only as a distress signal.
Report Post »2. The flag should not be used as a drapery, or for covering a speakers desk, draping a platform, or for any decoration in general. Bunting of blue, white and red stripes is available for these purposes. The blue stripe of the bunting should be on the top.
3. The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. It should not be embroidered, printed or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use. Advertising signs should not be attached to the staff or halyard
4. The flag should not be used as part of a costume or athletic uniform, except that a flag patch may be used on the uniform of military personnel, fireman, policeman and members of patriotic organizations.
5. The flag should never have placed on it, or attached to it, any mark, insignia, letter, word, number, figure, or drawing of any kind.

As to those who indicate that “this isn‘t a flag of the United States because it doesn’t have stars”. That may be a “legal” interpretation which again indicates the lack of substance of those who rely on legal definitions as opposed to right and wrong. It is certainly meant to evoke the flag of the Unietd States and those who suggest that this is only in bad taste, rather than a direct insult to the nation and its veterans, are extremely tolerant. I can’t say that I am that tolerent.
Fly it in the office, fine. Fly it outside and you are wrong, maybe legal but wrong. It really is that simple. Right and wrong do not necessarily correspond to legal and illegal. Liberals adhere to the legal/illegal debate. Making something legal does NOT make it right.

I know that may be hard for you to get so I will say it again, good people have fought and died for this country and all they are asking is to have the flag that has been altered to be removed since it is disrespectful.

Posted on March 14, 2012 at 1:17pmSo you are saying that you think it is fine? Would you think the same thing if Bush’s face was on it? How is having an American Flag picture on a shirt the same as having an actual American flag altered to show a picture of Obama’s face? No one’s face should be on the American flag and I would be outraged if anyone else did this as well as I am sure everyone would be. What does scare me is the seeming worship that many people have for Obama. No one should be placed on a pedastool like he is. I am LDS, and I believe that there is a living prophet of God on the earth who communes with God. Yet, even him I would not idolize in this way. (which a prophet is far more significant that a president ever could be)

Unless you can show me these flags all across the country at Democratic Party offices I doubt seriously if anybody can pin the flag on Obama or his people. This strikes me as a “one off” flag some exuberant Obama supporter made…not enough to get all worked up about.

Posted on March 14, 2012 at 2:02pmNeverMind is correct.
Title 4 of the United States Code (4 U.S.C. § 1 et seq) states in part:
The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. It should not be embroidered, printed, or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use. Advertising signs should not be attached to the staff or halyard.
The flag should never have placed on it, or attached to it, any mark, insignia, letter, word, number, figure, or drawing of any kind.
The flag should not be used as part of a costume or athletic uniform, except that a flag patch may be used on the uniform of military personnel, firefighters, police officers, and members of patriotic organizations.
I think that the Obama flag is in violation of flag etiquette because it is advertising Obama.
Good job Florida vets.

Posted on March 14, 2012 at 1:19pmIf that is a private plane then there is no problem with the logo. But if is a US owned plane then there should be no logo. The use of saying “Air Force One” is only for USAF planes with the President aboard at that moment. He can be on a private plane but it shouldn’t be identified as “Air Force One”. I say that because the pilot of Marine One doesn’t say “Air Force One”.
