REPUBLICANS CAVE LEFT AGAIN IN SOUTH CAROLINA WITH 'CONSERVATIVE MEDIA' SPINNING THE WITCH HUNT

"Take down the flag" sounds to me like a modern way of saying "Burn the witch" and this is the official Republican Establishment line being backed up by spin and the rewriting of history in "Conservative media".

[Arm_Bears]

The racist legacy of the DemocRAT Party has been successfully transferred onto the Republican Party simply because “leaders” in the Republican Party are too intimidated to stand up and set the record straight.

[Jacquerie]

It isn’t in their interest to do so. If it was, they would.

"The Confederate Flag Is The Legacy Of Democrats, Not Republicans" was the word put out by Rush Limbaugh

---

Rush was raised in a Yellow Dog Democrat area of Missouri known as Little Dixie. To consider the Confederate flag to be the legacy of Democrats would be natural to him, not spin.

It sounds and feels exactly like the national calls for the Washington Redskins to deny their history and change their name and worthy of fighting.

However, the biggest issue to fight back against these Leftist witch hunts, is that it should be the decision of each individual state (or team), not this national pressure from the nazis' of the Left.

Since South Carolina democRATs put the flag up in 1962 as a symbol of protest against the civil rights movement, it may be fine to take it down there but leave it in Mississippi, where a majority of citizens ... both black and white, voted to keep it on their state flag ... (the Confederate battle flag was put on their state flag shortly after the Civil War ...)

Their going to make the dependents of DEMOCRAT Ernest Frederick "Fritz" Hollings, 76th Governor of the State of South Carolina, 1959 to 1963, very angry.

" In 1962, during his term as Governor, the Confederate battle flag was flown above the SC Statehouse underneath the U.S. and state flags where it would remain for thirty-eight years. In 2000, the state legislature voted to move the flag from above the Statehouse to a Confederate soldiers' monument in front of the building. "

Flags are symbols—that is their essence.

I believe in free speech and the right to display whatever flag one chooses.

But I also believe in the right of others to exercise their free speech in condemning what they believe to be the symbolism of a flag.

And I support those who don’t believe the Confederate flag is an appropriate state symbol in 2015.

I don’t think this has much to do with Rush’ Mizzou upbringing...he was specifically talking about Fritz Hollings putting the flag up...a Demcorat - and David Beasely removing it from the dome and Nikki Haley removing it from the grounds altogether.

I picked up just this narrow political irony as Rush’ point.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Reasonable...and frankly, I don’t think it’s a hill worth dying on anyway. For either side.

[AppyPappy]

It means “We are going to continue to send government agents to kill and imprison your sons and daughters but don’t worry, we took care of that flag”.

Thanks for posting the background on this issue.

I am sure the Republican party establishment set down and had a long reasoned discussion before they decided, they no longer needed Southern Sympathizers like me.
I am sure that after this long reasoned discussion, they came to the conclusion that by alienating an unknown percentage of these hated southerners, they could convince at least another two or three percent of the sainted black voters to pull the lever for them. Hell, even one percent of that thirteen percent of the population should carry them right in to the presidency, and a huge majority in congress. Then Happy Daze will be here again.

Has Hillary condemned the use of the Confederate flag by her husband's campaign? (If not, we'll just assume she was in favor of it.)

[Daveinyork]

It’s a Democrat flag. Let the Dems burn their own flag.

[amnestynone]

The cof c wins again as always. How come unless we are on their side we never win? They don’t need us again sine we helped lower their taxes. Maybe it is time to raise them.

Too many whites kowtow to the race industry. Is there a line to be crossed or will they just keep backing up?

The Marxist will and are demonizing the founders and history of this nation. It is only the whites who concede that white history is evil and are the oppressors of the world that for the time being are left alone. It doesn’t take much imagination to see where it all leads. Once they are through with all things Confederate do the quislings honestly think they will stop there?

He grew up with family that were leaders in the Republican Party in SE Missouri and regardless of how I see the situation, El Rushbo had “GOP” stamped on his backside at birth, God Bless Him.

I just don’t agree with his blind support of the GOP anymore because Republicans can’t be supported in matters I mentioned in this post.

I’ve listened to him since 1990 and use his name in my screen name, but I don’t follow the ‘party line’ anymore when Republicans cave to the Left.
