The "I'm not saying, I'm just saying" style of commentary does not lend itself well to Twitter. Just ask Sen. Dan Hall who tweeted this last night...
Why is it you never see an American flag where you see a Vote No for the Mn #Marriage Amendment sign? #mngop twitter.com/SenatorDanHall...

The insinuation is pretty clear although in the aftermath of some reaction -- even within his own party -- the senator went literal with the explanation.
His defense is that he didn't actually say people who are against the same-sex marriage ban aren't patriotic.
@johnkriesel Everyone seems touchy when I give them my observation. U read into it what U want, but no one is calling anyone unpatriotic.
