No! It's my flag! Gimmeeeeeeeeeeee..!!!!

Brent Bozell's Scaife-funded Media Resource Center has it's long woolen-undergarments-that-hide-their-evil-dirty-naughty-parts in a twist over Bill Moyers decision to wear a flag lapel pin on TV.

Bill Moyers sported flag lapel pin on Friday night's Now on PBS, not to proclaim his patriotism and/or pride in the U.S., but to “take” the flag “back” which has been “hijacked and turned into a logo -- the trademark of a monopoly on patriotism.” Citing how President Bush and Vice President Cheney wear flag lapel pins, Moyers was reminded of communism: “When I see flags sprouting on official lapels, I think of the time in China when I saw Mao's little Red Book on every official's desk, omnipresent and unread.”

Moyers went on to complain that “more galling than anything are all those moralistic ideologues in Washington sporting the flag in their lapels while writing books and running Web sites and publishing magazines attacking dissenters as un-American.”

Moyers decided to wear the flag for one night as a “modest riposte” to the “people whose ardor for war grows disproportionately to their distance from the fighting. They're in the same league as those swarms of corporate lobbyists wearing flags and prowling Capitol Hill for tax breaks even as they call for more spending on war.”

I had no idea that Bozell had laid claim to the American Flag lapel pin for his party. You would think they would they would be satisfied with exclusive rights to the Cheneymaster 3000™ Defibrillator/Bacon Fryer, and the Lil' Himmler Buttplug that was all the rage at this year's Heritage Foundation Trophy Wife Swap and Gun Show.
