"That would change the complexion of the whole race...." Wait it's coming to me in October we find out...Obama is really... white! I'm sorry- I had to do that. You just HAD to leave the word "complexion" dangling out there for me.

On the flags story. ------------------------- McCain Plays the Cameron Card According to a article just out from Huffington Post, the story about flags from the Democratic National Convention being thrown away is simply false. The story was jumped on and apparently authored by the McCain campaign. But the real tell is down in the Huffpo piece where it traces the story to none other than Fox News' Carl Cameron. Longtime readers of TPM will remember that back in October 2004 this site caught Cameron publishing a series of fabricated quotes attributed to John Kerry on the front page of the Fox News website. After I placed a series of calls to Fox News inquiring about the Kerry story, the story was eventually pulled, and Fox was forced to issue an apology and retract the fabricated story. Fox spokesman Paul Schur told TPM: "Carl [Cameron] made a stupid mistake which he regrets. And he has been reprimanded for his lapse in judgment. It was a poor attempt at humor." Why anybody would believe anything this joker says is difficult to fathom. But he's good enough for McCain. --Josh Marshall talkingpointsmemo.com

>>He said that they introduced a custodian who had worked in setting up and tearing down the stadium where Obama spoke in his acceptance speech. Then, he said the custodian held up 50 or more American Flags that he said he had gotten from the trash after the convention.<< Suma - I see that this was already answered as I was catching up on the thread. It appears to be another case where the Republicans are seizing on some trivial thing to paint the Democrats as unpatriotic. I hope the true story comes out. - Allen
