ABC's Debate Disaster: Remember, you can't be a patriot without a flag pin!

RSVP for the flag-pin protest against ABC on Friday from 4-7 p.m. in Burbank

Did you watch ABC's prime-time character assassination of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton?

Americans are still shaking their heads in disbelief at what they witnessed, sarcastically speculating whether ABC News decided to launch an early roll-out of the Republican "swift boat" campaign.


Our friends at MoveOn produced a short YouTube video on Wednesday's travesty (watch it here) and described the most unbelievable moment:

"Moderators George Stephanopolous and Charlie Gibson spent the first 50 minutes obsessed with distractions that only political insiders care about--gaffes, polling numbers, the stale Rev. Wright story, and the old-news Bosnia story. And, channeling Karl Rove, directed a video question to Barack Obama asking if he loves the American flag or not. Seriously."

It's worse than that -- the video question specifically asked Obama about his thoughtful reluctance to wear an American flag-pin lapel. Apparently, wearing a flag pin is a legitimate symbolic proxy for whether or not a person is patriotic enough to be President. Questions about global warming, the economy, and the war? Mere trivialities in ABC's bizarro world.

Please join us at ABC/Disney's headquarters in Burbank from 4-7 p.m on FRIDAY to protest and pass out flag pins to ABC/Disney employees leaving their Disney corporate office.

Your mission: Ask ABC/Disney employees whether they can pass their own flag-pin litmus test: "Are you patriotic enough to wear a flag-pin? Remember, you can't be a patriot without a pin!" We need to know how many people are coming, so watch MoveOn's video video on the travesty and please RSVP below.

At 4 p.m. please join the Courage Campaign and your fellow activists at ABC's Disney Studios in Burbank in front of the West Alameda Gate, between S. Buena Vista and Keystone Streets (CLICK HERE FOR A MAP). We're going to protest ABC's debate disaster and pass out flag pins to their employees until about 7 p.m.

We've got the flag pins. Now, we just need you.
