Did someone in John Huckabee's campaign mention "FBI Informant"?

Huckabee vs. Sharpton—no matter who wins, we lose.

All righty, I’ll chime in on this because I think I’ve managed to get in before it becomes a rehash of the War of Northern Aggression.
The Confederate Battle Flag does not belong above the dome of the state capitol. I have no problem with it flying over a Confederate memorial on the capitol grounds, where it is a historical symbol in its historical context. That is precisely the compromise struck a few years ago, and everyone seems fine with it until someone tries to stir the s—t every couple years.
I don’t live or vote in South Carolina, and I believe that is their choice. So my opinion is worth every penny it cost you.

I have to assume any compromise would be voted upon and made into law in order to enforce it.
Was it made into law? if so, it's not quite that simple to stir it up.
If not, then there really was never a compromise in that any agreement had no way of being enforced.

Sharpton is a giant oompa loompa. We need to get one of those cute little outfits for the fella.

Sharpton is only helping Huckleberry.
But I think that’s his intention.

The Confederate Battle Flag does not belong above the dome of the state capitol.IMHO, As long as the Confederate flag is not flown above Ol' Glory, It isn't none of my business where South Carolinians (or any other) care to fly it.
Dixie has proved more than faithful, with the blood of her sons in the balance. More power to her.

I have to assume any compromise would be voted upon and made into law in order to enforce it. Voted by the legislature or ordered by the governor; it would depend on the specifics of the state constitution. I don't know SC law in that much detail.
Was it made into law? if so, it's not quite that simple to stir it up.
Oh, sure it is. "Made into law" does not end the argument. If you will, allow me to offer some word pairs; Scott/Sanford. Plessy/Ferguson. Brown/Board. Lemon.Kurtzman. Roe/Wade.
Not only is it fairly easy to fight the law, but for Americans, it's habitual. It;s part of our national DNA. Fighting the law is how we came to exist, and fighting unjust laws is how we survive, And thrive.

Somebody please ask why Clinton didn't order SC to remove the flag while they had the presidency for 8 years.
Oh, what do you mean the president can't do that? Then why does it come up every 4 years?
Please explain to the S. Carolinians that the Dems, no matter who is elected, will remove their flag and dictate to them what is a proper flag to fly.
Why would anybody vote Dem in SC if they want to decide the flag to fly, and if not, why don't they remove it themselves? It just seems odd they have Democrats in the state, yet fight over the flag issue every 4 years. Is Hillary going to send troops down to remove it? That would be some must see TV. Why is it always a Republican problem that we don't care what a state does on it's flagpoles, and if we did, we still don't have the power to do anything about it? I could just see the gubmint telling Texas their flag should be an illegal alien crossing the river on a blue background. It makes no sense to be arguing over these things with Muslims wanting to cut our throats and other more pressing problems.

This has actually never been a racial issue. The Confederate flag only became a cause celebre when Political Correctness (ie: Socialism) began becoming established in the U.S. The PC peeps (Socialists) hate the presence of any potent symbol of rebellion -- or even disagreement -- with the State.

Many years ago I was a big shot UAW goomba. If I ever made a mistake of mispronouncing a "brother's" name, I'd immediately get blasted with, "We all look alike to you white boys." That wasn't the reason for swinging back to the "right" side, but it sure helped me make the decision.
All us white boys must look alike to the convicted liar.

If Sharpton and Huckabee’s kids are in there, there won’t be room to fit anyone else in the frame.
