Team McCain distributed miniature flags today that were purportedly thrown out by Democratic planners after Obama’s speech at Invesco Field. Responding to the McCain campaign’s move, a spokesman for the DNC denied that the flags were headed for the trash:

But Democratic convention organizers claimed the flags were not going to be discarded — but instead were snatched from the site of Obama’s historic address to carry out a “cheap political stunt.”…

Damon Jones, spokesman for the Democratic National Convention Committee, released a statement saying McCain should applaud the fact that thousands of American flags were “proudly waved” at their convention.

“But instead his supporters wrongfully took leftover bundles of our flags from the stadium to play out a cheap political stunt calling into question our patriotism,” he said.

See, folks, you should be applauding them for actually waving flags at the nomination of a presidential candidate. As for throwing those little flags out, where would you get such a crazy…Oh, wait, they already have.

Oops!
