PlusObama Defends His Patriotism, Lauds McCain'sObama Defends His Patriotism, Lauds McCain'sThe Associated PressBarack Obama is on a patriotism tour, defending his commitment to the country. He's also defending rival John McCain's military service, saying no one should question its importance. (June 30)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] It's a question that's dogged Barack Obama since he started his run for the White House.Is he patriotic?Obama is making his most concerted effort to answer that question, with a weeklong patriotism tour.SOTBarack Obama"I've always taken my deep and abiding love for my country as a given. It was how, I was raised, it is what propelled me into public service, it is why I am running for president" [Notes:video of Obama without flag pin]Obama was questioned early in the campaign because he didn't wear an American flag pin. At the time, he said he didn't need a pin to prove his patriotism. [Notes:Obama with flag pin]But recently, the pin has been a staple on Obama's lapel.Obama blamed some of the criticism on himself, and the rest on his opponents. SOT"i've found, for the first time, my patriotism challenged, at times as a result of my own carelessness, more often as a result of the desire by some to score political points and raise fears and doubts about who I am and what I stand for" Obama is also seeking to tamp down the controversy surrounding comments made by his supporter, Retired General Wesley Clark.Clark questioned whether Republican John McCain's military service prepared him to be president, saying "I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president." Obama is distancing himself from Clark's remarks. SOTBarack Obama"For those like John McCain who have endured physical torment in service to our country _ no further proof of such sacrifice is necessary. And let me also add that no one should ever devalue that service, especially for the sake of a political campaign, and that goes for supporters on both sides."McCain called the comments unnnecessary, and said is proud of his record of service. ___ ___, The Associated Press.

Why vote for an Islamic raised idiot who has no experience and doesn't even pledge to the flag, and hasn't made any actual great decisions

Lack of wearing a damn pin makes someone unpatriotic? Who the hell cares? I am much more interested in the real stuff - what these candidates plan on doing in office that will affect society. Not a stupid pin.

what is patriotism? i'll tell you what it is- a method of control. if you disagree with the rulers' views you're unpatriotic. if you don't run down socialism in the usa you're unpatritotic. if you don't say down with capitalism in n.korea you're unpatriotic. it's nothing but a method of control. forget patriotism. we're all human, now's time to prove it...

Obama is really a sick individual. His mind has been warped with hate. Hate he learned from the quran. Hate he learned from his mentor Rev. Wright. Hate he and his wife both have for American and white people. Have you seen Michelle Obama's thesis "Princeton-educated blacks and the black community." Racism at its best. Rev. Wright and his church...racism at its best. Evidence is everywhere that they hate America and are racist. Quit drinking the Kool-Aid Obama followers and wise up.

Ill say ur wrong, nobody needs to question mccains patriotism b/c he served his country in the military. i mean the guy spent 5 1/2 years as a POW. what has obama done for his country? showed the homeless in chicago where the soup kitchen was at, i mean im not saying that he didnt help out but he cant even be compared to mccain in that aspect. yea the american flag pin got blown out of proportion but obama did say that only lately has he been proud to be an american, that sounds real patriotic..

So i've watched most of the video's on youtube on john mccain and realized in all these videos he is NOT wearing the american flag pin. So i feel we should question his patriotism and judge him as a crappy person, the same way the republicans do for Obama. I love it that when Obama didnt wear the American flag pin it gets blown up, and people consider him a Muslim and anti-american, but when McCain does the same thing its automatically ok. I cant stand this political BS. Go ahead..say im wrong.
