In the early '70s, when everybody was smoking dope, protesting the Vietnam War and waging lovefests, slapping a Confederate flag sticker on your Mustang and wearing a Confederate lapel pin was most likely the act of a rebel, not a racist.

Ain't that the truth about the Confederate flag. I knew so many "Northern Yankees" who wore the Southern Cross during the 70s. It was indeed a sign of rebellion and had nothing whatsoever to do with race.

Absolutely. And, what has caused the confederate battle flag to become a "symbol of hate" in the intervening 30+ years? The answer is plain and simple: vicious liberal propaganda.
