Obama without a lapel pin is unpatriotic, but Kingston without one is a fashion statement

March 1st, 2008 by karen

Jack Kingston appeared on “Live with Dan Abrams” on Thursday without a lapel pin and castigated Barack Obama for not wearing a lapel pin.

The Bill Gillespie campaign has posted a YouTube video on this subject.

As the AJC Political Insider says,

A cardinal rule of politics: When attacking your opponent for failing to wrap himself in the flag, first make sure the banner in question is fastened securely around your own shoulders.

    Representative Kingston’s comments are typical obfuscation -

    Kingston’s “clean-cut, frat boy” image does not bode well when he voluntarily exposes his hypocrisy in words and deeds.

    Kingston has been spotted withOUT an American flag lapel pin following his charges on the Dan Abrams on MSNBC.

    Pathetic -

    Mr. Kingston’s talking ponts are limited by his “men’s store manequinesque delivery.” In fact, it’s sad to know that D-1 Georgians are represented by a “knee-jerk, straw-man” who raises issues that exhibit no intellectual depth. Clearly, Jack Kingston is NOT the better choice for Congress this November.

    Jack Kingston’s appearance on the Dan Abrams show last week was embarassing to say the least. Does this man have no shame?! Rather than address important issues that affect Americans; Jack Kingston can only address his idea of the Washington, DC dress code.

    Again - I challenge Mr. Kingston to address the issues I set froth regarding Iraq, the Office of Special Plans, Libby’s Project Anabasis, Grover Norquist’s job to create strategy # 1 - modify the tax and patent laws PRIOR to invading Iraq; stripping away state owned assets.

    Jack Kingston - the Christian Coalition supporter and friend of the disgraced politician; Ralph Reed - apparently thinks nothing of pilfering Iraq’s natural resources; sending US servicemen and women into harm’s way; and continues down this dual path through his fervent endorsements of the “Commander-in-Chief - “Dubya.”
