Hot Air » Top Picks —

Democrats brought out tens of thousands of American flags to Invesco Field, saluting Barack Obama as he spoke from the Styrofoam columns of the Barackopolis at the conclusion of the Democratic convention. Perhaps some of them took the flags home as souvenirs, but where did the rest go? According to David Harsanyi , they went into the trash — and would have gone to a landfill, except for a worker at Invesco who rescued them from the dumpsters: This morning, Republicans tell me that a worker at Invesco Field in Denver saved thousands of unused flags from the Democratic ...

Today provides a great example of just how disconnected the Obama campaign really is from the average American. Let’s say you’re way up there in the Obama campaign. You’ve already seen your guy get stung hard for seeming to look down his ...

Not smart. This, on the other hand, is. (Assuming no flags were harmed in the Minneapolis/St Paul ...
