I'm no Hillary fan, but I agree that this is a non-story. I don't see how a bunch of flags falling over has anything to do with her. I only wish you all would show the same level of disgust for similar articles that try to show Republicans in a bad light over insignificant mistakes or accidents. Maybe then this site could focus on actual issues all the time rather than just using every opportunity to smear the "opposition". And BTW, I think everybody gets which candidate HuffPo does not support. Enough already.

What an insulting and stupid stupid article! Shouldn't people be insulted and the writer just simply embarrassed by such pseudo press?

Ha ha, har har, chortle chortle! Oh mercy....by the way Hillary was seen with toilet paper stuck to the bottom of her shoe in 1994. I have the footage and it's for sale exclusively to the Huffington Post for a hundred billion dollars. I await your call Arianna.

O.K.- when huffington Post is posting stories that look like the Drudge Report.. one has to wonder.. does Arianna intend to let her bias against Hillary rule the cite?

This piece is crap- and intended to plant an irrational (funny) association that the "flags hate hillary" ...

What a bunch of crap...that works.

And did you watch the clip? Hillary was actually not near the flags when they started to fall, she noticed they were falling and moved toward them to SAVE them!

Arianna- Why not a headline "HILLARY SAVES THE FLAG!" ?

Oh please. I'm not a Hillary supporter, but it's a real stretch to say she was "attacked" by flagpoles. They didn't touch her until she picked one up.

However the wingnuts will be quick to magnify this into flag desecration and an indication that HRC does not know proper flag protocol. Flags that touch the ground must be burned in a proper ceremony. You don't just stand them back up in their flimsy lightweight metal bases as if nothing happened.

Flagpole attack? Must be a slow news day.

The Nation is running an online poll on which Democrat should be the nominee.

Does Arianna supervise her headline writers?

If so, shame on you Arianna!

Pure drivel. Cheap shot.

Hey... I love the Huffington post but running a non-story such as this undermines your credibility.

I think Ariana would agree.

I would rather see nothing than print/show a few flagpoles toppling over, and trying to make something of it. Yeesh...

You know, if they hadn't filled the stage with cheap, emotionally manipulative symbols, this wouldn't have happened. One flag may be patriotic. A bunch of giant flags seems like the refuge of a scoundrel. It clears underlines the contempt politicians in both parties have for the intelligence of the American people.
