Unhinged Nancy Pelosi Said To Promise, “We Will Hang Them By That (Confederate) Flag!”
DC Whispers ^ | 7/9/2015

Posted on 07/11/2015 6:22:41 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

Following an outburst by Republicans offended by Nancy Pelosi’s demand the Mississippi flag be removed from the 50-state flag display on the Capitol grounds, as well as all other flags and or symbols deemed racially insensitive be removed as well, the animated House Minority Leader reportedly issued a very confident threat against Republicans who continued to oppose her latest attempt to divide Americans against themselves.

Via a D.C. Whispers source:

“After she was dismissed from the House floor, Mrs. Pelosi made her way back to her office with staff in tow. She appeared both very excited and livid. Apparently at one point she jabbed a crooked, trembling right finger into the air several times for emphasis while declaring, ‘Just wait – we will hang them by that (Confederate) flag!’ “

Republicans were outraged at Mrs. Pelosi’s demand the state flag of Mississippi be removed from the Capitol grounds because a corner of that flag incorporates the Confederate flag:

Here is video footage of the outburst on the House floor that preceded the alleged comments by the House Minority Leader. The initial outburst begins at the 5:40 mark and is initially from Democrats realizing the Republicans intend to quickly end discussion by sending the resolution to committee. Congresswoman Pelosi then attempts to get a roll call vote on the proposed resolution as Democrats shout their approval while rightfully angry Republicans are openly disgusted by her highly divisive political stunt. Pelosi is seen smiling at the end of the video, clearly pleased by her own actions in attempting to further promote racial division throughout the country.

Hey! News Flash! A guy recently came on the scene who tells it exactly like it is; e.g., Obama is either a poser who doesn’t really care about America’s well being, or he’s galactically incompetent. Also, that Hillary was the worst Sec. State in the entire history of the United States.

And what is the result? The bigshot know-it-alls at FR don’t like the way he combs his hair! The first man in decades to actually stand up and UNFLINCHINGLY sound off like he has a pair. And all these people can come up with is backstabbing chicken $h!t.

So the aging Nanny Pelosi wants to hang people who support flying the historical flag — which includes not a small number of Southern blacks. Sounds racist to me ... certainly as racist as anything the KKK-icon of the Democrat Party — the dead Robert Byrd — likely ever said during his tenure as top recruiter for the KKK.

Democrats lost both the previous question vote, 238-185, and the motion to refer, 238-176. Rep. Curt Clawson of Florida was the only Republican to vote with Democrats, breaking GOP ranks on both votes.

How can you support Haley? She is the one that started this latest wave of cultural cleansing bullshit. She needs to be retired in the next election, and she is finished as a national political figure.

“The mexican worm and chicken flag needs to come down.”

Well, we always referred to it as the “worm and buzzard” flag. But both will do.

That’s a fact.

“That’s the problem, Yankees moving to SC.”

You got that right! And they are moving into NC, Fla., Texas, and other parts of the South. They say they love the climate, Southern culture, friendly people, etc., then go about changing it because, “We did it like this up north”. Well, bless their hearts, I-95 runs north too. They need to take it.

“The rainbow flag is insensitive to Christians, take it down!”

My thoughts exactly.

Let’s see..... the Confederate battle flag only started being displayed at the South Carolina statehouse in the early 60’s because Democrat segregationists were protesting in favor of states right. I am neither a Democrat, nor a segregationist. Are you?

Excellent post. Most don’t get it. They think the flag has flown over the Statehouse in South Carolina since 1865. It hasn’t. It was put up for one reason only. Democrats didn’t want black kids going to school with white kids. Period. And here we have all sorts of folks defending that. Makes the head spin.

A lot of flags get hijacked by a lot of political groups sometimes for nefarious reasons. It should not affect the flags true meaning to an educated person. 1961 was the centennial of the Civil War and it was a big deal. Most people did not even associate the CBF flag raising with the Dixiecrat intention.

The Confederate Flag, is only the beginning, the US flag is the ultimate target.

And I suspect in our children’s lifetime, all mentions of the Founding Fathers will be expunged because they were slave holders.

If its “Southern Heritage”, then how come it didn’t fly over the statehouse for 100 years after the Civil War ended? Confederate battle flags were pretty scarce and hard to come by before the mid 1950’s.
