In these days of insane leftist political rhetoric filling the airways and Internet with their vile propaganda, I view Mike Rowe as a breath of fresh air.
Not a fool he tip toes enough around the issue to get his point across while still keeping his current job at CNN (CNN Mike? Best you could do?) and making the statement read between the lines...

“I think we need to be very careful about congratulating ourselves too enthusiastically for removing a piece of cloth from the public square...... ........I also think we need to stop calling people racist, just because they see the flag as something other than a symbol of hate. This is what happens when we put a premium on our feelings. We assume everyone who disagrees with us is not merely wrong, but dangerous. I know many good Southerners who abhor racism, but view this flag as an important connection to their ancestors — the vast majority of whom never owned slaves.

Hey Mike...it is flying at a CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL and was placed there with the APPROVAL of Rep Pickney (killed in Charleston), he voted FOR this placement of the flag at the MEMORIAL...rather than having it fly at the capital dome. This makes sense for everybody and even Pickney recognized that. Taking the flag down from a CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL is a whole different argument.
