2007 Comments on the Confederate Flag

Sen. Dodd : ""I don't think it [Confederate Battle Flag] belongs on the Capitol grounds," Dodd said in an interview before speaking at Springfield Baptist Church. "It belongs in a museum.""

2004 Candidates on the Confederate Flag

CLARK: "The Confederate flag undermines the values that Americans care deeply about - equality, diversity and inclusion," Matt Bennett, the retired general's campaign spokesman, said Sunday. "The general strongly believes that every Democratic candidate needs to condemn the divisiveness represented by the Confederate flag."

CLARK: "Well, he shouldn't have said those things. I think all Americans - and this is a joke! - all Americans, even if they're from the South and 'stupid,' should be represented."
(Clark's reaction to former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean's pandering comment that that he, Dean, wants the votes of Southerners, i.e. "guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks", NY Daily News, by Lloyd Grove, 12-Nov-2003)

CLARK: "Later, Clark held an American flag and said: "I'm proud of what our country stands for. We stand for patriotism. We stand for that American flag - not the Confederate flag. This flag.""
(Clark's reaction when asked if he supports the Confederate flag."President 'didn't do job,' Clark tells 'Grits' circuit", 30 Dec 2003, EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS, Sun Herald)

CLARK: Clark, a retired Army general who sat out Monday’s Iowa caucuses to focus on later primaries, said the Confederate flag is “hate-filled” and should be put in a museum.

"That flag belongs in a museum. It is a flag of the past," Clark said pointing straight ahead to the Confederate flag flying on a giant brass poll.
("Sharpton, Clark call for removal of Confederate flag", 20 January 2004, Jennifer Holland, AP)

DEAN: "I still want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks," Dean said Friday in a telephone interview from New Hampshire. "We can't beat George Bush unless we appeal to a broad cross-section of Democrats."
( Des Moines Register, Nov. 1, 2003, by Thomas Beaumont, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1013261/posts?page=1)

DEAN: ``"I intend to talk about race during this election in the South because the Republicans have been talking about it since 1968 in order to divide us. And I'm going to bring us together. Because you know what? You know what? White folks in the South who drive pickup trucks with Confederate flag decals in the back ought to be voting with us and not them, because their kids don't have health insurance either and their kids need better schools too."
(Dean's Speech at the Winter meeting of the Democratic National Committee, FDCH Political Transcripts)

DEAN: "I don't like it, and it ought to come down, but it's not a presidential issue."
(The Hotline, Jan. 15, 2003)

DEAN: "It's a racist symbol but I also think the Democratic Party has to be a big tent," Dean said Tuesday night, refusing to recant his statement that the party must court Southerners who display the symbol of the Confederacy in their pickup trucks. Poor white people need to vote their economic interest," he said.
("Dean Gives No Ground on Confederate Flag Remark at Democratic Debate", by David Espo, 5-Nov-2003)

DEAN: "But I think there are lot of poor people who fly that flag because the Republicans have been dividing us by race since 1968 with their Southern race strategy. .... I want to go down to the South and talk to people who don't make any more than anybody else up North but keep voting Republican against their own economic interests."
("Dean Gives No Ground on Confederate Flag Remark at Democratic Debate", by David Espo, 5-Nov-2003)

DEAN: "I understand the Confederate flag is a symbol of heritage for some folks ... But there are also a very significant number of folks in this state to whom it is a symbol of oppression and slavery. I don't think you can have symbols like that be flown on the Statehouse ... If someone wants to fly that from their house, that's their private business. But I just don't see how that fits into state government." 
(The Hotline, Jan. 28, 2003, "Dean Switches Position on SC Flag Issue")

DEAN: "There's no reason why white guys who have a Confederate flag in the back of their pickup truck shouldn't be walking side-by-side with blacks, because they don't have health insurance, either."
(Knight Ridder/Tribune News Service, by Steven Thomma, Feb. 2, 2003)

DEAN: "I understand the Confederate flag is a loathsome symbol," said Dean. "But if we don't reach out to every single American, we can't win...I make no apologies for reaching out to poor white people."
("Dean not sorry for courting 'poor white people", Boston Herald, Andrew Miga, Nov 5, 2003)

DEAN: "I regret the pain that I have caused, but I will tell you there is no easy way to do this and there will be pain as we discuss it and we must face this together hand in hand as Dr. (Martin Luther) King and Abraham Lincoln asked us to do," Dean said.
("Dean Regrets Pain of Confederate Flag Remark", The Washington Post ^ | Wednesday, November 5, 2003; 1:16 PM | By Ron Fournier)

DEAN: "Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean told a Tallahassee audience today that southerners have to quit basing their votes on "race, guns, God and gays."
("Howard Dean campaigns in Tallahassee", Tallahassee Democrat, Nov. 04, 2003)

DEAN: ``That was an apology,'' Dean told The Associated Press. ``You heard it from me. It was a remark that inflicted a lot of pain on people for whom the flag of the Confederacy is a painful symbol of racism and slavery.''
("Dean Sorry for Confederate Flag Comment", The Guardian UK, Ron Fournier, Thursday November 6, 2003)

DEAN: ``My remarks were misunderstood, of course, with the help of my colleagues'' in the race, he told the AP.
("Dean Sorry for Confederate Flag Comment", The Guardian UK, Ron Fournier, Thursday November 6, 2003)

DEAN: "People who fly the Confederate flag I think are wrong, because I think the Confederate flag is a racist symbol," said Dean in heated remarks about the banner on Tuesday evening.
("Locals React To Latest Confederate Flag Controversy Created By Democratic Presidential Hopefuls", KAIT8, November 5, 2003, Jonesboro, AR)

DEAN: "Most knew what I meant . . . that black and white Democrats need to come together," he said. "But I did it clumsily, and I apologized."
("Dean stresses jobs, benefits, not flag, in S.C.", AJC, Andrea Jones, 10, Dec, 2003

EDWARDS: ""The Confederate flag is not just a symbol of hatred, a divisive symbol, to African Americans. It's exactly the same thing -- it should be the same thing -- to all Americans."
("The 2004 Election", The Palm Beach Post, 12 Ja. 2004, Scott Shepard)

EDWARDS: "Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards on Monday endorsed the NAACP's call for economic sanctions against South Carolina to protest the display of the Confederate flag on State House grounds."
(The State, Section A, page 5, by Lee Bandy, Jan. 21, 2003)

EDWARDS: "I am certain you were just as angry as I was when Senator Trent Lott implied the country would be better off if Strom Thurmond's racist presidential race had prevailed," the North Carolina senator wrote in a fund-raising letter to potential Southern donors late last month. "It is no wonder the rest of America has such a stereotypical view of Southerners."
(Sharon Theimer, Atlanta Journal Constitution, May 6, 2003)

GEPHARDT: "The Confederate flag is a hurtful, divisive symbol and in my view, has no place flying anywhere in any state in this country."
(AP, , January 11, 2003)

GEPHARDT: "I want to be crystal clear to the people of South Carolina where I stand on this issue," Gephardt said, "I think South Carolina should remove the Confederate flag from any official display anywhere in the state."
(The Columbia State, 2003)

GEPHARDT: "I understand the strong feelings South Carolinians on both sides of the issue have and acknowledge the sincere efforts leaders of both political parties have made to reach a compromise," Gephardt's statement said. "But, my own personal feeling is that the Confederate flag no longer has a place flying anytime, anywhere in our great nation."
(The Columbia State, 2003)

KERRY:``I'd rather be the candidate of the NAACP than the NRA.''

KERRY: "I credit the people of South Carolina who reasoned together and took the flag down from the dome. I hope it will be removed from the Capitol grounds as well."
(Associated Press Worldstream, Jan. 17, 2003)

KERRY: "Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry says he respects a compromise by the state legislature that took the Confederate flag from the Statehouse dome to the capitol's grounds, but he said he would rather see the flag in a museum."
(Associated Press State & Local Wire, Feb. 2, 2003)

KERRY: "I fought under the flag of the United States of America. We all live under the flag of the United States of America," the Vietnam Veteran said. "That's the flag that belongs in the public places of display. The Confederate flag 'belongs in a museum and belongs in private homes or elsewhere," Kerry said.
(Associated Press State & Local Wire, Feb. 2, 2003)

LIEBERMAN: "'I believe this flag should come off of the statehouse grounds because, unfortunately, it has become a symbol of division instead of the kind of unity that the country and state ought to aspire to,' he said during telephone conference call with South Carolina Reporters."
(Courier and Post, page 1B, 1/14/03, Charleston, SC)

LIEBERMAN: "The [sic: Confederate] flag is a memory of a time of division," Lieberman said in remarks at the 11 a.m. service of Morris Brown African Methodist Episcopal Church in downtown Charleston. "It is offensive."
(May 5, 2003, Charleston Post and Courier, Ron Menchaca)

LIEBERMAN: "Howard Dean offended both blacks and whites in the South by using the Confederate flag as a political symbol and should admit he was wrong, a leader has to be strong enough to admit a mistake."
("Dean Regrets Pain of Confederate Flag Remark", The Washington Post ^ | Wednesday, November 5, 2003; 1:16 PM | By Ron Fournier)

MCCAIN: "One such time came during the 2000 campaign for president, when I failed to say that the Confederate flag that flew over the state capitol of South Carolina should be taken down. I rationalized, in a moment of cowardice, that that decision should be left to the people of South Carolina.
" After the campaign, I returned to South Carolina and apologized, which didn't mean much since the apology came after the fact. The lesson that I took from that experience was this: In the long run, you're far better off taking the courageous path. I don't know if I would have won South Carolina, but taking the position I did, I lost. Maybe I would have lost by more if I had spoken out -- so what? At least my conscience wouldn't have bothered me long after the disappointment of a lost election had worn off."
("In Search of Courage", John McCain, Fast Company, September 2004)

MILLER: "Sen. Zell Miller, the Georgia Democrat who is retiring, to say, "Dean knows as much about the South as a hog knows about Sunday."
( "Flagging down Dean", George Will, Washington Post Writers Group, November 6, 2003)

MFUMU: "In essence, you now have become persona non grata," NAACP President Kweisi Mfume said of the Democrats who passed on the event. "Your political capital is the equivalent of confederate dollars."
("NAACP Candidates' Forum Blasts Bush, No-Show Dems", Joy-Ann Reid, July 14, 2003)

KERRY: "Kerry also blasted Bush's record as a "compassionate conservative," saying it was time for a Democrat to replace a president "who would do a 15-minute drive-by stop at Goree Island (in Senegal) but (who) is willing to go to South Carolina and play Jefferson Davis on the Conferederate Flag."
("NAACP Candidates' Forum Blasts Bush, No-Show Dems", Joy-Ann Reid, July 14, 2003)

SHARPTON: Sharpton, who has protested the flag several times in South Carolina, called it a treasonous symbol for rebels who wanted to separate from the nation. “We stand against foreign terrorism,” Sharpton said. “We should not reminisce fondly about domestic terrorism.”
("Clark, Sharpton speak out against rebel flag", 20-Jan-2004, Jennifer Talhem, staff writer, The SC State)

SHARPTON: "This is not a day that you wave a flag of Confederacy and wave a flag of racism," Sharpton said.
("Sharpton, Clark call for removal of Confederate flag", 20 January 2004, Jennifer Holland, AP)

SHARPTON: "Confederate flag should only be seen in a museum."
(May 2, 2003 http://www.issues2000.org/Al_Sharpton.htm)

SHARPTON: "I think those people that wave the Confederate flag must be confronted by people who want to be president, not embraced by them."
(http://www.ajc.com/news/content/news/1103/02dean.html)

SHARPTON: "You can't bring a Confederate flag to the table of brotherhood."
("Dean Gives No Ground on Confederate Flag Remark at Democratic Debate", by David Espo, 5-Nov-2003)

SHARPTON: "He clearly has some potential to get a significant number of delegates, especially in the Southern states," said David Bositis, senior policy analyst with the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, a research group that deals with African American issues. Mr. Sharpton is putting the others on the spot by raising issues they have avoided: calling for all Confederate flags to be taken down in South Carolina and Mississippi, for example."
(New York Times, Section A, Page 16, 1/13/03)

SHARPTON: "Sharpton, a New York clergyman and civil rights activist, preached at three Greenville, S.C. churches over the weekend, and led a Monday morning prayer service in Columbia prior to an NAACP march and rally protesting the flying of the Confederate flag on the state capitol."
(Charlotte Observer, Page 2B, by Henry Eichel, 1/21/03)

SHARPTON: "You have a sitting supreme court judge, the chief justice that just went to a fourth circuit retreat humming Dixie. You have people that are waving the Confederate Flag. They didn't wave it in Baghdad, they wave it in Columbia. And you would talk about I'm a racial polarizer because I say that we should treat people with equal protection under the law. I think the Republicans try to float that. We can defeat that when all of us come together and have one standard. That's why we're celebrating that 40 years later in Birmingham this weekend."
(Democrat Debate in South Carolina, Washington Post Transcript, FDCH E-Media, May 5, 2003)

SHARPTON: "That sounds more like Stonewall Jackson than Reverend (Jesse) Jackson," he retorted. "You ought to apologize to people."

OTHERS

FOWLER: "That whole issue was the biggest bunch of malarkey I've ever heard in my life, and I think Dean made a serious mistake by apologizing. All he did is draw attention to it," said Don Fowler, former chairman of the national Democratic Party and longtime South Carolina resident.
( "Candidates jockey for Super Seven", Albuquerque Tribune, Ron Fournier, 3 Dec, 2003)

BLACK: "Confederate flag wavers are 'not a group that votes very much of the time. Or if they did, they wouldn't think that a New England Democrat would represent them,' said Earl Black, a professor of political science at Rice University."
("Democrats Rethink Southern Strategy", LA Times, 16 Nov, 2003, John Johnson)

POWELL: "forget the conservative ideas with respect to what you shouldn't tell young people about."
(MTV Interview on Sex, 2002, Colin Powell, Source)

MCKINNEY: "Howard Dean is right," McKinney said. "I live with the confederate flag and the controversy. The Democratic party has to find a winning message in the South. And how do you find a democratic message .... when people are still being lynched?"
("McKinney: 'It's Time for Us to Change', New Cornell Professor in first Ithaca appearance", Cornell Sun, 18 Nov, 2003, Marc Zawel on Cynthia McKinney's appointment at Cornell)

ALLEN: "I don't think he plays that well in North Carolina," she told me. "I don't think he will play well in the South, period. ... His remark about going after voters in pickups with Confederate flags rubbed people the wrong way here. I found it offensive."
(North Carolina Democratic Chairman, Barbara Allen, "Dean's rep goes South", Washington Times, Donald Lambro, November 24, 2003)

CARTER: "As I told him [Dean] afterward, if you had just said you want the support of Southern whites that drive pickup trucks, the same message would have got across. But when he threw in the Confederate flag, it showed a little bit of an incompatibility with national opinion."
(former Pres. Jimmy Carter, "10 Questions For Jimmy Carter", Wednesday, Dec. 03, 2003, Time Magazine)

MARR: "Dean effectively lost the entire South with his "rednecks and Confederate flags" comment."
(Rom Marr, "AL GORE AND HOWARD DEAN: A LOVE STORY", MichNews.com, Dec. 10, 2003.

BRITT: "For many African Americans, just seeing the battle flag — on a T-shirt or coffee mug — is a stab to the heart."
