Excerpt:
"What if the Obama campaign had a disaster and the media refused to report it? I suspect we are about to find out.
The Obama campaign has in effect confessed to what I called "virtual flag desecration" with the grotesque Obama flag campaign stunt, offering a "limited edition" Obama flag.
Now John Hinderaker of Powerline reports:
the Obama campaign has quietly ditched the flag poster, which now returns an error message if you try to buy it at the Obama store.
It never happened, see? Just a tech glitch, evidence gone.
This is contemptible behavior. People who love the flag, who fought for it, or who lost loved ones fighting for it, deserve an apology for this desecration. Now they try to pretend it never happened.
The media don't want to touch this story with a ten foot pole, but had the Romney campaign done something patently offensive to a large segment of the population, they would talk of nothing else."
