Supporters of the Confederate flag were seen waving the flag outside of the school this afternoon where President Barack Obama is scheduled to give his remarks on health care later in the day.
The demonstrators were gathered across the street from Taylor Stratton Elementary School in Madison.
They said they hope the president will come outside and speak to them so he will understand what theyre all about.
We just want him to understand that this is heritage, that there is not any bit of hate coming from these flags. We cant be held accountable for one man making that mistake and shooting up that church, said one of the demonstrators.
The Confederate flag has been a big issue in recent weeks in the aftermath of the church shooting that killed nine people in Charleston, S.C. Since then, several states have taken down the flag from government property and many companies have vowed to stop selling products featuring the flag.
LOL!
Obama deserves it.
Look how well it works on the American people!
Obama is just a narcissist fa**ot that doesn’t care less about anyone else, much less any issues, heritage, or the like. (there, I feel better)
So what is their point? We all (well many of us) disagree with the Obama agenda in general. But why invoke the Confederate flag? What is their point other than to come across as racist a**holes?
Is it possible to be a conservative without being a racist a**hole?
I would prefer they meet him with pitch forks, torches, tar & feathers and re educate his stupidity. Regardless of the Confederate Battle Flag, which I had no idea was even an issue of any kind. I am not sure I ever saw it fly from a flag pole. Possibly when my brother first moved to Columbus and he rented a row house across from the Confederate grave yard that is located on the site of Camp Chase the Confederate Civil War Prison camp.
This is all nonsense. The flag flies over Confederate Civil War monuments. If they took down the flags are they next to erase the Civil War from the History Books. I know the Party of Slavery the Democrats would like to do that
Dupes and dunces - the cream of the facebook crowd (idiots all)... who then browbeat corporations (and smaller businesses) into exactly what the Left wanted..
It is not possible to be a Democrat without being a racist. That is for certain.
So, you’re equating them flying the Confederate flag with racism? Because they fly that flag, that presupposes they’re racists?
he has not got the balls to meet with the people who don’t support him or don’t agree with him.
Well done to these people for flying it
HUH so flying the battle flag is racist in your view? Just want to understand where you coming form before I jump to conclusions.
That sure looks like a ‘diverse’ group there. Photo quality is not great, but the guy closest to the road sure looks like a “brotha”.
Their point is that the CONFEDERATE FLAG IS NOT RACIST!
Good grief Chatlee.
No matter where Obastard was born he is not an American. He does not think like an American, and he has no understanding of American history. That is why he neither understands or cares about heritage and American values.
He really doesn’t care. Now the rainbow flag, that’ll get Barry’s attention.
Who says they’re being ‘racist’?

Midnight knock on the door for you, Bubba.
GOD BLESS THEM! I just read the KKK is (again) going to use OUR flag as a hate symbol. I hate the KKK. The Stars and Bars is MY PRIDE and the KKK need to EFF OFF.
