The Democratic National Committee — “Barack Obama’s campaign arm,” as Politico puts it — held a video contest on health-care reform. This is one of the 20 videos that the patriotically tone-deaf party chose as a finalist:

So let me get this straight: In the mind of Democrats, it’s “un-American” to protest against Big Government in the form of socialized medicine, potentially devastating environmental regulation and unprecedented budget deficits, but it’s OK to deface the flag that symbolizes everything America represents in order to make a point about health care?

I defer to one of the contestants whose videos didn’t make the DNC’s final cut: “They should never pick that. It makes the Democrats look really, really bad.”

There truly are two Americas politically speaking in this country today.
