It's an election season. Any news is good news. Except when you degrade the second in line for the Democratic nomination... interesting math. The story had no bite. Yet it was extorted. Hillary Clinton has Darth Vader for a Campaign Manager. Patty Solis-Doyle. Then the dark force employs over 400 storm troopers. Anything negative expect Hillary '08 is behind it. Even her own hits. She is in thick with Rupert Murdoch (Google murdoch-clinton). It's all planned political strategy. Welcome to the world of politics. What pin? Who cares? He said too much and was caught off guard by a brownie reporter. That is the point. He did not handle the heat. (Round table ABCNews This Weekend w/ George Stephanopoulos) Hillary '08 gets more empathy as she is perceived attacked. Oh Scarlet!! 13 yrs of pressure.... blabla hahaha here and there. Just a song and dance. Thanks.

I thought I was the only one to notice that. At first I though I was watching Saturday Night Live. Imagine my disgust when I realized that grown men were nattering on about a goddamned piece of jewerly like some kind of old lady hen party. Of course we all have to realize that FOX is owned by by a right wing billionaire and run by Roger Ailes....a right wing operative going back to before the Reagan era. The point of the entire network is to spread anti-democrat propaganda in general and anti-Clinton and anti-'Obama propaganda in particular. Just wait until one of these guys is an actual canditdate.....I can hear the swift-boat fleet warming up now...stand by to repel boarders!

You are kinda biased aren't you? Why would a candidate running for president refuse to wear his countries flag in a place of honor during a time of war? There are many questions about Osama ooops Obama that need to be asked.

There are awhole lot more important things, you're right but I think Obama's thinking is off. You don't have to wear a pin to be patriotic. I just wouldn't stop wearing one (like he did) just because he didn't support the direction our country was going in.

They are patriotism nazis, which ironically enough are not real patriots. They're like people who think they're good because they wear a cross around their neck all the while treating everyone like dirt. It's not the symbol that counts, it's what the symbol stands for. In the wake of 9/11 there has been so much pseudo-patriotic bull**it that things like the flag and the proud to be an American bumper sticker don't really represent what they are supposed to represent. They represent herd mentality, not love of one's country. Obama was right to get rid of his pin. As he said, it was "substitute" for "true patriotism."

Then why are you wasting time asking questions about Fox News instead of the other items you list?

Because many people are interested in hearing the varying view points on this subject and he is a candidate for the President. It is newsworthy.

Because he is running for president of America, but is ashamed to wear it's symbol, do you do ANY research before posting biased, uneducated questions? Thanks for the points though...and for reminding me why I switched parties. Funny how you conveniently missed it being on every other channel as well, and how, if it is so pointless a subject, you wasted 5 points on it here.....

It is just something easy to attack but symbolizes his anti American values and culture positions. Obama is not young and fresh, he is representative of all that is wrong with politics across party lines.
