The sad thing is that of the three candidates mentioned. Sharpton gave the most direct and reasonable answer (even though I disagree). And Clark's answer . . . WOW!!! What a moron.

"And Clark's answer . . . WOW!!! What a moron."
Not only did he refuse to acknowledge the fact that every state has its own flag, and that Mississippi's happens to include the Confederate battle flag in its canton, but he doesn't see the irony of saying that the Confederate flag "stands for slavery" but the U.S. flag doesn't, when it was the Stars and Stripes that was flown on every slave ship coming to America for over a century, and the Stars and Stripes was our national flag during the many decades in which a majority or a near majority of states permitted slavery.

And Clark's answer . . . WOW!!! What a moron. What did you expect? He is the Clintons' favorite Army officer. That fact alone ought to damn him to hell, with the eloquence of angels.
Clark is the kind of officer my old man could never stand or get along with (he was career Air Force): a weaseling trimmer.
The Civil War produced, or rather pantsed, several officers like Clark: Halleck and Butler for two good examples, and (so some people say) Braxton Bragg, for another. Remember any famous battles won by any of these guys? Me neither, didn't think so.
