Obama Sporting Flag Pin at Veterans Event

Well, just two days after Doonesbury ran a "Senator Flag Pin" comic in Sunday's syndication, Barack Obama was seen today sporting one of the patriotic lapel embellishments at a veterans campaign speech today.

As seen below, the sixth panel in the Doonesbury strip reads, "If I DON'T WEAR MY FLAG PIN, PEOPLE WILL THINK I'M MAKING A STATEMENT THAT I'M WITH THE TERRORISTS..."

It turns out a vet gave Obama the pin he donned today, but he might do well to sport them more often, especially now that he's got terrorist-backing antiwar group Code Pink bundling campaign contributions for him.

There's significant controversy over this, so let's see those who say flag pins are idiotic denounce Obama's campaign support from terrorist-backing antiwar groups.
