    When will the lying stop RL? Or are you trying to expose Eric as a liar? You have no proven you are nothing but a brainwashed drone of the crazy media.

    Maybe you should google your lies before you post

    First of all your whole flag thing has been shown to be false.

    Secondly, if you think that chanting USA, or seeing an American Flag is what makes someone patriotic, then I think your brand of Patriotism is pretty meaningless.

    I think it's far more important to serve the nation, trumpet the values that have made the nation great, and work towards continuing this nation's progress.

    Those things mean much more to most people than chanting USA. You can hold patriotism more shallow if you like, and it seems like you will.

    I don't watch Fox News.

    How can you overlook these obvious differential between the two conventions?

    Those flags were removed as soon as they were live on TV. Geez I wonder why? But anyways if you don't want me to mention the lack of patriotism from the Democratic party then I'll stop.

    So, I went to see the Eric Trump speech for the background... he had a flag in the back, or at least tried to. The video screen malfunctioned so we had the flag trapped in a corner:

    Since someone was kind enough to post a picture of Kirsten Gillibrand... yet another example of the deep bench.

    Hopefully you'll grow to eventually have a little deeper understanding of what patriotism actually is.

    8 years ago our first lady said "for the first time I'm proud of my country". Is that your example of patriotism? Let's face it, today's democrats have a complex relationship with this country.

    Not any more than your complex relationship with facts, intelligence, and common sense.

    Blind patriotism is dangerous. See Nazi Germany

    You're crazy. Right wing talk radio LOATHES Michelle Obama. As an example, Rush was going on about her today, explaining the dog whistles (though he didn't use that term because he pretends like he doesn't know what it means when liberals say he uses them) in the speech that proved she's still angry and resentful. He explained how she hated America but now has to love what her husband is doing to destroy it.

    Michelle is a frequent target for her efforts to attack obesity, her program to change the food at schools, etc. She is often ridiculed for being an "angry black woman," has been dragged over the coals for wearing clothing that was too expensive, ripped for taking separate planes, etc. I have a conservative co-worker that seethes in anger about Michelle Obama.

    So you admit you were wrong about the DNC - move the goal posts back to old talking points to try to demonize the side you hate.

    Good job laddy.

    Quite a few people hate her because she has an Ivy League education and isn't cleaning their houses or serving coffee

    Trump and Hillary are the main events. Everyone else is the undercard.

    This flag "controversy" is just ridiculous. The thing that makes it hardest to commit to electing Trump are all the fact-less anger monkeys that come along with him.

    In fairness to RL, he probably doesn't realize it's an electronic screen that can show any content. All those flags - photoshop!
