townhall.com ^ | 6/26/2015 | unknown

Dale Earnhardt Jr., NASCAR's most popular driver, says the Confederate flag is "offensive to an entire race" and should be removed from the grounds of the South Carolina Statehouse.

Earnhardt Jr.'s comments Friday followed an announcement NASCAR made this week backing South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's call to remove the flag from the Statehouse grounds. NASCAR also noted that it bars the flag symbol in any official NASCAR capacity. Earnhardt backed NASCAR's position when asked about the issue before practice at Sonoma Raceway.

How can so many people be this ignorant on something so important to American history?

And when I want you to speak for me on anything Mr. Earnhardt I’ll send you a text. Until then, button up.

...all ‘slob boy in the oval office’ wants to do is keep going until he gets us Americans so worked up to riot, then he can enact Martial Law and cancel the elections...if we just keep control and fight thru not purchasing at places we feel are supporting him like Wal-Mart and those type of places, we can get the elections over with and then try to take our Country back....

We cannot vote for ‘The Old Hag’ or anyone who does not have a back bone and stand up for what WE believe in....

and above all, don't let the ‘slob boy’ media try to feed you crap....if you have to turn off the news, quit reading newspapers, etc. then do it, but don't believe anything these maggots are telling you...

Knee jerk reaction based on heightened emotions. Tell me why I shouldn’t believe that most ‘men’ have become total p*ssies? The p*ssificaton of America continues.

That may be exactly what’s going on, rktman. South Charleston was supposed to :tv voice: “erupt into violence”. I imagine the WH was absolutely livid at the reaction.

This business with the flag makes me wonder if the republicans (the governors, no less. So much for that) are on board with instigating civil unrest- & therefore, martial law.

I’m not sure this is bad. The flag protests, for & against, are getting coverage. It
may be that average Joe will get a clue. (Occupy didn’t work out so well.)

Et Tu, Dale Jr.? You were my mother’s favorite driver after your dad passed away. Although Mom is in Heaven now, I’m sure she dropped you like a hot potato for caving in. Mom always told me to stand up for myself and to stand up to bullies where it got to the point where if I didn’t, sjhe’d beat me up. Dale Jr., I suggest you rethink your decision.

Well, the Gay Rainbow Flag is offensive to a whole bunch of People including Christians and Muslims, so why was the White House lit up displaying it for all the World to see?

You know why, to stick our Noses in it, that’s why.

The shame of it is, it isn’t what happened at all. This is all misdirection and pointless symbolism. The country is all about symbolism and hashtags.

One crazy kid assaulted a bunch of innocent people; had one of them been armed, the damage might have been minimized.

Of course, the liberals don’t want to hear that.

How about the poor ol Duke Boys!! The Confederate flag on top of the General Lee has been painted over with a rainbow LBGT flag.
