Yet again these idiots use a tragedy to promote their political agenda and as for Romney, STFU.
The flag had nothing to do with any of this and Romney should know that the Confederate flag never flew on Govt buildings back then, it did not fly on any slave ship that was the stars and stripes. It did not fly out west to kill, rape, rob, the Indians either as that was the stars and stripes so STFU Romney you idiot.
My dog was right.
You are right from a historical point of view. Oddly, what I have noticed over and over in the area where I live (and for many years) are people, who are big time racists, like to fly the confederate flag. Just saying.
