'They Don't Hate the Country!' Whoopi Goldberg Adamantly Defends Flag Burning, Patriotic Americans
newsbusters.org ^ | 11/29/16 | Kristine Marsh

Tuesday on ABC’s The View, the panel opened by discussing Donald Trump’s recent tweets that threatened to jail or revoke citizenship to people who burned the American flag. While the whole panel agreed that this punishment would be a violation of the First Amendment, co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg went out of her way to defend the action of flag burning in the first place. When co-host Paula Faris stated that people who did this “hated” our country, Whoopi leaped in to make this brainless defense: “[T]hey don’t hate the country. Stop saying that!” she argued with Faris.

WHOOPI: The flag does not always represent all of its people. All of its people were not taken care of under our flag, so folks know that --

FARIS: I get it.

WHOOPI: People are angry. They sometimes get angry and they burn the flag. Sometimes they burn the neighborhood, you know.

You’re wrong, whoopi.

When I was mad, I took down my flag. Because I thought we had lost our country to 0vomit and people like you who are anti-American. I did not burn it.

BTW, it is now once again flying proudly.

“[T]hey don’t hate the country.”

“WHOOPI: The flag does not always represent all of its people. All of its people were not taken care of under our flag, so folks know that — “

Just go live in Saudia Arabia or some other Muslim country

I am so sick of these people

Tucker Carlson had a round with a flag-burning supporter tonight.

The guy claims it IS patriotic to burn the flag.

So that's it. You just need to be angry, according to this tool, and that justifies everything.

According to that way of thinking you can commit murder as long as you are angry. And, that, in defiance of law, justifies the action.

It’s not “hate hate,” just as it wasn’t “rape rape.” This dyslexic fool is a fool that keeps on giving.

Took my entire 25 ft flagpole out of the ground when Obama was elected.

Now it’s time for me to make good on my promise to erect a bigger and better one once we have a President that doesn’t hate this country.

I am a burning flag supporter in that I agree with Justice Scalia on the topic.

I don’t have a high opinion of you if you do it..but I think you have the right to do it.

If we burn an effigy of whoopi does that mean we don’t hate her? Is it an expression of love?

If people burn the flag,it means they hate something and that makes it hate crime. So let us turn the hate crime BS back on the liberals. :) I love Trump’s tweet this morning!

Didn’t Scalia also say that if it were up to him, he’d jail ‘em?

There would be no grounds to deport a legal non citizen for burning a flag.
