Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday that South Carolina should remove the Confederate flag from its Statehouse grounds, in part because the nation should unite under one banner while at war. "I think about how many South Carolinians have served in our military and who are serving today under our flag and I believe that we should have one flag that we all pay honor to, as I know that most people in South Carolina do every single day," Clinton told The Associated Press in an interview.
"I personally would like to see it removed from the Statehouse grounds," the New York senator said during her first trip to the early voting state since announcing her White House bid.
Other Democratic hopefuls, including Sens. Joe Biden and Chris Dodd, have said the flag should come down. The banner, which once flew over the Statehouse dome and now flies nearby, is the subject of an ongoing NAACP boycott.
Clinton is one of several Democrats to draw huge crowds during campaign stops in the state, but she said during the interview that her party will have a tough time winning in GOP-heavy South Carolina
"I think it's going to be hard for any Democrat to carry the state," she said. "The Republican Party is very strong here."
Earlier in the day, Clinton spoke to more than 1,500 people gathered at Allen University, a historically black college in Columbia.
The senator picked up key endorsements last week from two black state senators who helped deliver black voters to former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards in 2004. One of those politicians, state Sen. Darrell Jackson, whose media company also picked up a $10,000 consulting contract from Clinton's campaign, introduced her to the Allen University crowd.
During the AP interview, Clinton said her campaign struck no deal with Jackson. "Senator Jackson has worked in Clinton campaigns going back to 1992," she said.
Shortly after Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton landed in South Carolina........
It was a DimocRAT that put the one over the state house....
And we all object to Hillery and her sleaze-bag husband....so what?
I really don't want to know how that puddle got there.
This coming from the former First Lady of Arkansas who came from Illinois who moved to New York to become the junior senator of that state who hopes to return to the White House in the District of Columia as prez. Definitely a carpetbegger!
"I think it's going to be hard for any Democrat to carry the state," she said. "The Republican Party is very strong here."
Columbia would be the exception.
I am sorry, but this chick doen't look like Hillary. Blurred vision?
Hillary....shut up.
In fact, Hillary has suggested a new flag for the United States:
Like Stalin whiting out Trotsky from photos, Hillary seeks to erase history. Last week, she wanted to expropriate oil companies. Now she wants to white out photos to change history. She is nothing more than Joe Stalin with a bouffant.
How unique, I finally found something I agree with Hillary on- somewhat- She wants to remove a flag from a statehouse, I would love to remove her from the national statehouse!
"Well I object to Hillary. So there!"
sHillary should be removed from the planet.
I know I wouldn't mind removing all of them in this case.
No, she pandering to the uneducated Black vote.
That's who I was referring to, since those are the only ones who identify the Confederate Flag as hate.
LOL. xcamel, are you a mod-in-training? It's hard to miss that every time presidio posts an article, there you are with a list of all other threads on that story, which in this case, ALL have different titles, so a title search would be pretty damned useless, now wouldn't it?
I noted on a previous day, you raised the bandwidth issue as a reason for bringing this to presidio's attention. How much bandwidth have you wasted posting these silly and petty messages? Are you stalking presidio?
The titles are ALWAYS different, because I ALWAYS do a title search. xcamel is just stoopid, that's all.
