Yes. Also to burn it, pee on it, paint it on your butt or replace the stars with Joe Stalin's face.
It's called free speech, and whether you like what someone does with that right or not, we have no more important guarantee under the Constitution. If we start limiting someone's right because we don't like what they say, you might as well tear up the whole thing. Our Flag will become just a meaningless rag.
Put it this way: I have no doubt that I disbelieve to the point of hilarity something you consider a core component of your thinking - and vice versa. Does your disbelief in my belief invalidate my belief, or vice versa? I don't think so. If some schmuck wants to wipe his ass with the flag, does it diminish your respect for it? No.
Let the pinheads have their fun. They're irrelevant.
