Fox is reporting in McCain Camp to Chastise Dems for Discarding American Flags the Democrats left behind 12,000 flags from the Democratic Convention and did not properly dispose of them or give them away.
They were left in bags.
Boy Scouts have arrived with 84 trash bags full of bundles of flags at the site of a McCain rally scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m. local time in Colorado Springs.
The campaign says the flags were recovered from Invesco Field after the Democrats concluded their convention there, and they are going to be used as part of the warm-up ceremonies before McCain takes the stage for the rally.
FOX News has been told a vendor at Invesco Field found the flags, which were going to be thrown out, and turned them over to the McCain campaign.
Further reports state that the flags were in Hefty Trash bags next to trash dumpsters for 8 days.
John McCain rescued these flags and they were handed out at the McCain Palin rally being held in Colorado Springs at 2PM ET.
Update:9/6/2008
The Democrats are saying
It's disappointing that someone would take American flags without authorization and then falsely describe their intended purpose. We have the utmost respect for the American flag and it's sad to see them being used for a cheap political stunt.
HotAir is reporting that "They claim they were 'bundled' for return to their manufacturer."
A five year old could come up with a better excuse than this. Hope and change.
