The following is a narrative taken from Sunday's 07 Sept. 2008, 11:48:04 EST, Televised "Meet the Press" The THEN Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag.
General Bill Ginn, USAF (ret.), asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played. The General stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171...
"During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention, facing the flag, with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, "Stand and Face It".
'Senator' Obama replied:
"As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides...." "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression...." "The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air, and all that sort of thing."
Obama continued:, "The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose such as, I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing". If that were our anthem, then I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our "Middle East Brethren". If we, as a Nation of waring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails - - - perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments ....."
"When I become President, I will seek a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts . We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injustice, (which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag, and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past.")
"Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put "my hatred" aside. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First black Family. Indeed, (CHANGE is about to overwhelm) the United States of America..."

The piece was supposedly written by a Dale Lindsborg of the Washington Post.
Also, didn't we duscuss an article here recently that said Snopes was found to be leaning (very) Left by excluding or tweeking info?
That's odd. I just did a search of Meet The Press's TV schedule for all of '08. The only show missing is 9/7/08. Hmmm...
When I first read the original piece here, it looked like a parody, which I believe it is. However, I also believe this to be close to the mindset of the major characters. But, that is not the same as having unaltered footage.
Unaltered footage? (lol) If it existed, you can bet it's been "lost".
Too bad they can't lose the originator of the quotes! I want to buy the world a Coke...using someone else's money, would be a better quote!!
He's a commie dick head!
Here's the original article about Soros and Snopes.
