Pro-Confederacy billboard in Kemp sparks debate about vulgarity, free speech
Fox 4 News ^ | 3/21/2019 | FOX4News.com Staff

A billboard with Confederate symbols is raising the question of basic decency in Kaufman County while taking aim at the city of Dallas.

The billboard is on Highway 175 in the town of Kemp, about 45 miles southeast of Dallas. The sign shows a cartoon character with a Confederate flag urinating on the Dallas skyline and says “I support Confederate heritage.”

Maybe in poor taste but so is destroying our history. That is all.

Either a leftist paid for this or an redneck idiot.

I cannot picture Robert E Lee or any other Southern officer approving of the vulgarity.

“I support Confederate heritage.”

So do I.

(I hope that the liberals reading this post are screaming right now!)

I doesn’t sound vulgar to me-there are plenty of Ford trucks out here with those decals on the back window showing a person urinating on a Chevy trademark-not a BFD...

If everybody agrees with your message, then it isn’t “free speech”...

Thanks for posting-I still don’t see it as being vulgar-I work with guys on jobsites-so I’m not a fainting, delicate little flower-I’m more offende4d by liberals in pussy hats carrying signs that call abortion a “choice”...
