Or flags with his mug on it, like the one displayed in an Obama campaign HQ.
The man was also a murder.

I agree! Any national flag, other than on government buildings, other than the US Flag is offensive to me.
Based on my feelings, they should not be sold, of displayed in any form. That is big business, Walmart said so, so they have removed the CSA Flag. Now for all the others. You are either an American or not. You cannot straddle the fence.

This is comparing the controversy of flag to another, how is that apples-and-oranges? Because the Mexican flag is not being flown over any state capitol or federal building that I know of. The Confederate flag is. And people are talking about taking the Confederate flag down from government buildings, not banning the ownership of it entirely. And honestly even if it were flying over government buildings, I'd consider a drive to remove the Mexican flag as stupid and as pointless as the drive to remove the Confederate flag is.

" Say to Mr. Poinsett that it is very true that I threw up my cap for liberty with great ardor, and perfect sincerity, but very soon found the folly of it. A hundred years to come my people will not be fit for liberty. They do not know what it is, unenlightened as they are, and under the influence of a Catholic clergy, a despotism is the proper government for them, but there is no reason why it should not be a wise and virtuous one" General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (ca 1836)
The Mexican worker class can never assimilate here nor can they participate in an enlightened Republic such as ours. Their government facilitates their expulsion to the US because their government despises their dark skin and predisposition to poverty. They are not allowed to participate in affairs of the state.
On the other side, our politicians are willing to throw over white and black Americans all for the sake of cheap labor for republicans and cheap votes for democrats

Lets ban Che Guevera T-shirts. Have you read what he said about blacks??? Who cares what he said about 'blacks'? He was a communist and a murderer. Anyone wearing a "Che" Guevara shirt is proclaiming solidarity with communism and mass-murder. Perhaps they themselves are communists and mass-murderers ...

They aren’t just talking about flags flown over state capitols - they are talking about wanting to having it removed wherever they can.
Why do some people get to decide what symbolizes ‘hate, racism, and bigotry’ And decide what others may do with their freedom?

Need to ban the Massachusetts State flag first.
It depicts a native indian with an arrow in his weak hand (left) pointing down (surrender) and has an oppressive white arm holding a sword above it.....
A liberal loon sued the state a few years ago about the symbol, wanted a billion dollars in reparations, etc.. It might be time to revitalize this ....;)

They arent just talking about flags flown over state capitols - they are talking about wanting to having it removed wherever they can. They can talk all they want. They can protest and pickett and boycott all they want. They can't force you to remove the flag if you don't want to. Any more that we can tell Mexicans to get rid of theirs.
To: StaffiT
We should apply the same rules should we not? Seems to me ... folks who make a living trying to impose their sensitivities on the rest of the world, who are perpetually and professionally offended generally end up coming across as hypocrites.

Didn’t you read the fine print on the 1st amendment?
The micro-printing says that no one is to offended any more and when your sensitives are impacted you can remove their rights... /s
Maybe that’s the part written with invisible ink.

Have you been monitoring what has taken place the past few years?
Offend the ‘Gaystapo’ and you’ll see how well you can exercise you rights.
Or, can I claim that your denying this is about freedom of speech offends me and thus you have to stop talking about it?
