Looks like the state legislators in upstate SC like Greenville-Spartanburg are not marching in lockstep with the GOPe at this point.
And to those posters trying to link the flag to Democrats, note the supporters of its flying today have R's next to their name.
Those 9 folks that were killed by that nutter were not killed by a flag.
Clearly if the confederate flag did not exist all those people in the church would not have been killed. What idiots.
By taking down the flag they ensure no mass killings will ever happen again. Double idiots.
If we had only banned Beatle songs after the Manson murders, If we had only banned dogs after the Son of Sam murders...
Every time someone asks the question, the legislatures should respond "Thank you for asking about my efforts to improve education in our state", or whatever it is they are working on.
The topic should not be acknowledged, and neither should the rabble rousers.
This is another one of those "Have you stopped beating your wife? " Sort of question. It is only intended to damage, not to actually solve anything, and as the WOPR computer said: "The only winning move is not to play."

My house member has said yes to bringing down the flag. I won't forget it, when election day comes. My senator has not replied so far... he obviously needs a phone call and be reminded of Gov. Beasley's fate when he messed with our flag.
It’s the Democrats problem, they are the ones with the flag.
“But the fact is, hate groups have misappropriated this flag and made it a sign of their hatred. It may not be right, but that’s a fact.”
So, Mr. Davis, I guess that means you’re a typical republican coward who runs and hides from hate groups instead of confronting them head on.
This is a microcosm of where our society is today. We don’t solve problems, instead we grope around for idiotic symbolic gestures to allay people’s feelings.
