Chuck Norris: Stop Using The Modern American Flag -- Or Use Tea-Stained Ones

Is it legal to sell a flag that has been purposely defaced?

I guess it is, gonna have to look that up.

So deface the flag which is illegal to show how great a patriot you are? Only in this inverted disturbed world these people live in. And had Chuck Norris been around during the time of the Revolutionary War he would not have been with the less than 5% of the population who was for it but with the large majority who supported the Tory party and King George.

I was taught that even having a dirty flag was a disgrace. This Norris move is illegal.

Chuck Norris has no chin behind his beard, only another fist.

let's all wax nostalgic about times when the flag had less stars. I liked the parts about the 3/5 of a person stuff. good times

Having this jackass suggest that we stain the American flag with tea causes me to borrow the words of Rep. Stark and tell Chucklehead Norris "It would be a waste of urine to piss on you."

Down with modernity!

"modernists simply don't get it"

Have we moved beyond socialists and communists to identifying the new threat as 'modernists"? Norris and Foucault fighting the modernists would be a great action movie.

Under "our Founders' vision of America," wouldn't the President of the United States be 3/5ths of a person? Or, since he's half-white, would that be 4/5ths (I can never remember how the math works on that one)?

And while we're on the subject of right-wing historical delusions, can we please stop pretending that Betsy Ross was America's first vexilographer already? Does history not actually matter to them, or is the fiction too comforting to surrender to fact?

We fly the New England flag. My husband refuses to recognize any of the other states.

As Chuck Norris enters his Alzheimers phase he needs to be watched closely, cause he getting closer to the edge everyday. And wouldn't the Betsy Ross flag waving anywhere but in New England be sort of absurd? Finally, where was Texas Chuck when bush sold us out to Wall Street, invaded our privacy & a few countries, made a joke of our nation & gave torture a whole new meaning?

Note to right wing nutbags: Chuck Norris is a Hollywood celebrity.

Heard on the set of the Walker Texas Ranger remake: You call this a craft table? Where's my egg white & shallot omelette? Who do you think you're feeding here Joe the Plumber? I'll get my chest hair waxer to come out and kick some ass if we can't get some fresh crispy bread out here!

Do you suppose Sarah Palin is in Hong Kong to buy Chinese made American flags and Chinese tea for Chuck's fund raising scam? It now looks like Fascism will come into America behind a cross and tea stained flag.

Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He simply stares them down until he gets the information he needs.

That he never reads should explain his conservative views.

Chuck Norris is insane. Whatever, Bruce Lee kicked his ass in every movie they were in together, thank god. He has obviously had too many head injuries.

I'm as liberal as I can be, but... with all due respect, Norris said to "get one that is tea-stained." "Get one that is tea-stained" is hyperlinked to the WND store, where you may buy one.

Wrong use of words -- he should have said, "Buy one," but I don't think he was advocating staining the flag.

Also, is this story worthy of a huge picture on the front page of TPM?

These guys really want to take this back 200 years. Lol. MAN imagine if they were in charge? They are getting played like fools by their leaders.

I really hope they do this. It makes it easier to cast them as throwbacks living in a fantasy world.

And I think the conservatives need more unaccountable "leaders" -- quitter governors, talkshow hosts, radio djs, former actors, pretend plumbers. You know, non-politicians who don't actually have to run anything or get elected, and can basically talk out of their ass all day.

Why are you wasting space on this? It is bad enough that I have to share this country with people like that, there are certain spaces I should be free of them, TPM being one. Is that changing?

Chuck Norris is such a stupid wingnut...just ignorant!!! HAMAS CONTROLLED GAZA, indeed!!! Those poor people are living under an brutal and total occupation, it is WARTORN. Thank GOD, someone is getting them some charity and help, I guess the christians won´t. Politics aside there are PEOPLE in there suffering everyday, idiots like Norris think because they are ARABS they aren´t entitled to bleed.
ALOT of jews in USA and in ISRAEL realize the problem, but idiots like Norris are just tunnel visioned.

Norris you're just another member of the Hollywood elite that always sees the worst in America. Here's a message for you and the other hothouse frangi pangis like Bruce Willis and Gary Sinise who dis the republic and our flag from Real Americans(We Know Who We Are) "LOVE or Leave it!"

Hey Chuck,
Why don't you just piss on it ?

Wow...Yet another christian clinging to the "our Founding Fathers were Christians!" myth. We serve god, but we'll lie, cheat and backstab our way to what we want. 'Cause we're the REAL Americans!

Hey Chuck... MAKE ME!
Isn't that what you really want? To impose your beliefs on me? To force me to adhere to your creed? And aren't you encouraging others to impose their prejudice on their neighbors, in the name of blind nationalism, not the free spirit of America?

When are the wingnuts going to learn how selfish they look when they equate the inevitable rogressive changes that are happening now with their desperate need to keep some sort of status quo that they themselves can not even describe, other than by twisting the words of the founders to match their contemporary misguided political passions.

I know your type. You think your certitude about issues and your martial arts give you the power to demand the same opinion in others.

So, if you walked into a gym and told me to stain a flag to prove I'm a good American, I would say "Make me", knowing full well you could hurt me. Would you strike a blow for the tea-stained flag?

And then you'd have something a bit more crimson and traditional than tea to use for a stain.

But I would still challenge you to do it, maybe for a moment you would understand how your violence only perpetuates the worst angels of our nature, and does nothing to earn the yet-to-be won glory of our founding principles.

You're a stain, UpChuck
