15. Bush can skate on a technicality, these folks cannot.
The freeper response to the Bush signing (and, BTW, I've always thought that picture to be one of the classics) is that what he signed was not officially an American flag for the purpose of thw law -- it was not of the right dimensions or proportion and wouldn't be considered to be a flag the same way a T-shirt with the flag printed on it is not. Not that Bush isn't a heel for signing it.

But this looks like a bonified flag, perhaps even a military issue one.

These freepers are almost definitely committing desecration and could technically be prosecuted.
