LOL. Classic Imagery.
Would make for a great drama series on HBO.

Which one of you white guys is 'John' Huckabee?

Does the confederate flag offend some people? My answer to them is....”suck it up, you little baby”. I’m offended when I go to the movies and blacks from the inner city disturb my enjoyment by being loud and rude, I’m offended when I go to the store and see a black dude with his pants down to his knees, I’m offended when I’m sitting in a restaurant and blacks start swearing around kids.....

Ah, the flag nonsense again. If the people of SC want to fly a Confederate flag, that is up to them. The Constitution does not say anything about flags, so therefore it is the domain of the several states. When I think SC, I think a little palm silhouette on a field of red, but that’s just me.

If we got rid of every flag that offended someone or that had evil done under it, there would be no more flags to fly. Maybe a white one, but isn’t that the one many have been flying all along?

I’m offended by people on the left with too much time on their hands, that they can worry about and be an activist for things best left alone.

”suck it up, you little baby”.

An attitude needed by 100% of the American public. Instead, there are maybe 30% with the attitude that we are busy enough that we only have time for our own business, not getting into everyone else’s. How much simpler things would be, and the time saved would be bigger than Everest.

Unfortunately, it would literally put lawyers TV News, and newpaper people out of business.

One of the silver linings of Barach Obama is these people will be severly marginalized if he win’s. The statement that America is a racist nation can no longer be stated with a straight face.

Let us pray that he dose not destroy the nation for that silver lining.

“Mr. Huckabee’s position is a direct slap at Dr. King and all that he fought for."

Of course I am not sure, but I doubt that MLK ever commented on the Confederate flag.

It might not be a racial issue for white South Carolinians, but I assure you bkack citizens see it that way. Not because of anything having to do with the Civil War; directly; the objections to the uae of the flag are rooted in the 1950s, not the 1860s.

Glad to hear it. Here in Georgia, we took the CBF off the state flag a few years back; most of us don't want to revisit the issue. There is a small hard core of folks whose most important issue is bringing back the 1956 state flag -- those are the people Neal Boortz calls "flaggots."

True dat, I have an opinion, but not a vote. And it is colossally irrelevant to a presidential election. You might as well ask a president what he thinks about the proposed new traffic light at the corner of state and main; it's a local issue he has nothing to do with.

He had much bigger fish to fry. If he'd lived into the 1970s and beyond, he might have had a word or two to say. It's one thing to complain about some dipwad waving a flag -- when said dipwad is kicking your ass, what flag he's flying is not the most urgent concern.

You're correct. This helps the huckster. And this may be Sharpie's intention.

Oh, how the libs want Huckleberry to win......so they can rip him to shreds (theocracy, amnesty, etc.)

I agree. I think he’d be pretty easy to take down after winning the nomination. If the right person faces him or Hillary, they’re toast IMO.
