Well, at least he (Gephardt) is consistent.

Curt Senn, the site's administrator, added: ``I've never had someone come up and have a negative comment about it, and in fact, at commemorative events, there have been many positive comments.''

Generating a problem where none exists?

Consistent? Or just timed to place the race card against the Rep. party? I wonder why he never thought about bringing this issue up with the former President and Governor of Arkansas?

During his 12-year tenure, Governor Clinton never approved a state civil-rights law. However, he did issue birthday proclamations honoring Confederate leaders Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee. He also signed Act 116 in 1987. That statute reconfirmed that the star directly above the word "Arkansas" in the state flag "is to commemorate the Confederate States of America." Arkansas also observed Confederate Flag Day every year Clinton served.

I predict the Gephardt will not carry South Carolina in the General Elections .....Sarcasm off

He needs it pulled prior to 2004 so he can use it as the center jewel in his "Master of Class Warfare" Crown.

I got news for you. I live in KC and I have never heard of this site until Dick Gephardt, who might as well be from Ohio in this part of the state, brought it up for political purposes today.

It took Geppy longer than I expected to open his trap on the subject...

Gephardt Tied to White-Rights Group
Carl Limbacher
March 18, 1999

House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt spoke before a prominent St. Louis white-rights organization during his first run for Congress and attended two of the group's picnics after his election, says Gordon Baum, head of the Council of Conservative Citizens.
Interviewed Monday by NewsMax.com, Baum explained that Gephardt had come to a meeting of the Metro South Citizens Council to debate his primary-election opponent.

"The hall was adorned on one side of the speaker's platform with the Confederate flag, and on the other side was the American flag," said Baum. "And Dick Gephardt addressed the group and asked them openly for their endorsement."

I hope that someone has a photo of him standing at that cemetery and that they show it on the news! Too bad it is paid for with public money because the flag will probably be taken down. I think the flag should fly at the Confederate cemetery.

Why doesn't Dickie just go pee on the soldiers' graves while he's at it?

Democrats bash white guys, then blame it on "hate" when they don't get their votes.

>>Smith, the Gephardt spokesman, said the congressman had never spoken against the flag's display at Higginsville because he wasn't aware of it.<<


Gephardt isn't aware that there is a Missouri outside the St. Louis area. He's never held statewide office and probably never could win a statewide election.

``My own personal feeling is that the Confederate flag no longer has a place flying anytime, anywhere in our great nation,'' Gephardt said in a statement.

This would appear to condemn displays of the flag on private property as well; also, at Confederate monuments and cemeteries. How many Confederate Civil War monuments in National Military Parks bear a coat of arms of the Confederacy, or some other Confederate symbol?

It remains to be discussed, whether he refers to the Battleflag, or to all the other, various flags that were associated with the CSA, from the First National ("Stars and Bars") to the Cherokee Braves flag, the Missouri Battleflag, various Corps flags and devices (Hardee's, Polk's, Taylor's, etc.), and the Bonnie Blue.

And why stop at flags? Why not insist that the writings of Jefferson Davis, and books about Davis and John Calhoun, the speeches of Calhoun against Webster, and the Civil War monuments themselves be burned or demolished? Isn't it time the Stone Mountain monument got the dynamite treatment, like those nasty Buddhist statues the Taliban cleaned up in Afghanistan?

And why stop at Confederalia? Why stop at banning Stephen Foster songs, burning flags, and demolishing antebellum relics like Oak Alley and Jefferson Davis's home? How about Monticello? -- Thomas Jefferson was certainly a slave owner. Torch Monticello!

But beyond the monuments and flags, beyond all the symbols, is the Problem itself, the Final Solution of which these halfway measures only point toward. Will the Democrats have the courage to grasp the nettle and propose What Must Be Done to rid North America of white racism and moral nastiness forever? Will they have the courage and vision to produce their own Wansee Protocol? We'll see.

Me, I'll be waiting. I want to sell tickets and popcorn, for when they finally Go All the Way.

GephaRAT better watch his back side, should this branch of the Redneck Special Forces catch up with him. Pictured are the five Clinton brothers.

Pictured are Billie Bud Clinton, Fatman Clinton, Duh Clinton and Freddie the Finger Clinton. Missing but not missed is William Jefferson Clinton, convicted fellon, lier and X42. He won't be missed but just does not go away. That's not a good thing.

Thought struck me during Preview: These fellows sure don't look like F. Remington's Coming Through The Rye.
