[Alberta's Child]

This wasn’t an appearance before a university review board to defend a doctoral dissertation. It was a stupid town hall forum where the questions and answers are supposed to be POLITICAL.

1. Her answer was nonsensical from a historical/factual standpoint.

2. Any Republican presidential candidate who didn’t see this as a glorious opportunity to state that (A) the Republican Party was founded as an anti-slavery political party, and (B) they saw it as their mission to stop Democrats from keeping slaves … is too ‘effing stupid to be out in public alone.

3. This is the same dingbat who made a point of removing the Confederate flag from the South Carolina Capitol. She botched an answer like this after THAT pathetic episode of political pandering?

"This is the same dingbat who made a point of removing the Confederate flag from the South Carolina Capitol."

It was Democrat Governor Fritz Hollings that put up the flag on the State House in 1962 for the Civil War Centennial. I believe Haley had it removed from the building, to a spot down in front of the State House, then had it totally removed from State grounds after the church shooting in S.C.
