Don’t these politicians understand that this will come back to bite them in the ass?
Southerners like their links to their past.
I am stunned that all of this is happening because of a mass shooting. Events have gotten the ball rolling on this.
Hysteria is full force. Will southern accents be the next thing to be banned?
After that, that hegemonic Stars and Stripes thing.
Do these dooshes still think we’ll keep voting Republican? They’re killing themselves.
Anything to avoid the fact that the economy still hasn’t recovered.
Up next, the Cleveland Indians are racist as well and need to change their name!
Wrong. It's your skin color and bank account that are the points of offense, and they'll get to those sooner rather than later thanks to your help.
I wish some people would get this passionate about our Official Flag.
The way this crap is going we will have to scrap the Star Spangled Banner next just to keep the peace.
Didn’t the people of Mississippi vote to keep it in a ballot referendum just a few years back?
52 years old, zip for military service. No surprise. Mississippi have a talent for producing half assed leaders.
I’m here to tell you, all Republicans are screwed at the polls in 2016. NOT ONE of the base will come out to vote for them.
I sure won’t.
“It’s the first time a Mississippi Republican elected official has publicly called for the removal of the emblem that served as the battle flag flown by the Confederate army during the Civil War.”
That’s not true, former Governor Ronnie Musgrove called for a change. A referendum was held, the bumper stickers most evident in the campaign said “Change the Governor, Keep the Flag”. A large majority voted to keep the Flag, it also carried in the black community but not by as wide a margin as the white community. One of the few areas that of the State where they voted to change the flag was Starkville and the rest of Oktibbeha County, Home of Mississippi State University and that vote was likely an anti-Ole Miss vote. Governor Musgrove was a one term Governor losing to Haley Baqrbour. Change the Governor, Keep the Flag bumper stickers were widespread during this campaign.
Must be getting money from Karl Rove.
Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn : get used to private life pal ...
These liberals won’t stop until they get to the US flag. THAT is their ultimate goal. Has been.
Liberals won’t stand for it, Obama won’t salute it, pro ball players won’t stand for it.
We’ve got a contingent of freepers here that support Nikki’s disrespect for Southern heritage and the flag, right MinuteGal? You support Nikki, MinuteGal. I suppose you must then support, by the reasons Nikki gave, the removal of the US flag since it represented slavery at some point.
The flag had nothing to do with the murders and this is a free speech issue but of course they will kowtow to the racialist demagogues trying to prove that they're not racist.
BTW What makes these murders worse than others?
Is it numbers or motive? Are some victims worth more than others?
Is it worse than the 5 yr old White girl shotgunned in her bed by the black home invader, the Christian / Newsome torture- rape murders or the Wichita Massacre?
The murders of the family by black home invaders a few weeks ago or the Aussie baseball player or the 18 month old baby shot in the head?
How about the black women and kids murdered in their home by black robbers last year or the 5 yr old black child murdered by a black gang member while she was sitting on her grandpa's lap.
A White father and son were shotgunned in NOLA a few weeks ago by an aspiring rapper. No one questioned how he got the gun (stolen) and no calls to ban hate filled, racist rap.
BTW I pray for all of these victims.
