Clinton says Confederate flag has no place in US

Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday the Confederate battle flag should not be displayed “anywhere,” weighing in as South Carolina lawmakers seek to remove it from the grounds of their statehouse.

The Democratic presidential candidate called the deadly shootings of nine black church members in Charleston, South Carolina, “an act of racist terrorism perpetrated in a house of God.”

Clinton called the Confederate flag a “symbol of our nation’s racist past that has no place in our present or our future. It shouldn’t fly there. It shouldn’t fly anywhere.” …

And dont forget in 1999 bill clinton pardoned 16 Puerto Rican FALN terrosits that had set off over 20 bombs that killed people in New York and Chicago.

Yeah, but don't forget that Murderer (see Behghazi) Hilliary Clinton needed their help to get her senate seat.

I heard that Gold's Gym is actually catching flack due to Fruitcake wearing their shirt - getting trashed on the internet, memberships being cancelled and so forth. What the heck - what if he'd been wearing a Starbucks's shirt, Aeropostale, Abercrombie & Fitch, some random college or professional sports team - the level of stupid these days is amazing.

George Washington, Founding Father, US President had slaves. I guess we should erase him from our history. Put a black drape over his portrait.

Bill obviously had no problem with having well known segregationist, J. William Fulbright, as his political mentor, and who was that eulogizing Senator Fulbright at his funeral in 1995? I remember when Trent Lott caught hell for praising Strom Thurmond, but good ol boy Billy can be close to a race divider like Fulbright and no harm done to him. All one has to do is look at the poverty and hopelessness many blacks feel in our Democrat controlled inner cities to know who the real racists are.

If you think the Confederate flag is no different that the Nazi flag then you are both an idiot and a despicable piece of human debris.

You deserve to be thought of as pure evil because that is what you are.

“I believe in American first and celebrating the Confederate flag is no different that celebrating the Nazi flag.”

That is the dumbest f***in’ sh!t I have ever seen anyone post anywhere.

You make me sick.

It's like this - the left has pivoted and turned it into another attack vector upon free speech and #2, another convenient opportunity to try and stamp out a cultural identity they see as an existential threat to their despotism - it's really not about a flag at all, it's just an opening to take a mile after getting an inch ceded to them by force.

Yup - I don't have any links to any articles, but saw a short bit on TV about it earlier today. I'm just shaking my head on that one.

I saw on the news this morning that Gold’s got into trouble and was trying to do damage control because of that photo. That is way beyond insanity.

You may want to tell that to the property owners who had their entire crops and homes burned and destroyed so they couldn’t make a living AFTER the war. I certainly don’t condone slavery in the least......but it was a ‘scorched earth policy’ by the feds.

Some of his older posts about Israel are very anti-Zionist, and we all know what anti-Zionist means.

“celebrating the Confederate flag is no different that celebrating the Nazi flag”

I would respond to that but it is so pathetically stupid I don’t know where to start.

But not a peep about that.

There were many fine men who were Confederate soldiers, they came from good families who loved them and remember their sacrifices for that flag and what they believed at that time. Frankly, they may have seen something then that we are just beginning to see now........

There is no appeasement, there will never be, black racists thrive on rage. We can remove flags, fill the cities, federal government with black leaders, dumb down the educational system, give EBT cards out like candy, pay cellphone bills, provide housing, free healthcare, condone murder of white cops, the list is endless, they will NEVER forget some of their ancestors were slaves.
