For sure I will be shopping, buying gas, & staying overnite in SC on my next trip east. (Buy the way SC has some of the cheapest gas prices in the nation), they don't tax people to death.

The initiative is part of a plan the group unveiled Saturday to turn up the heat on state leaders in 2002 to completely remove the Confederate flag from the State House grounds The RATS (Fritz Hollings) put it up, let the RATS take it down.
Sounds like a good poster for a FReeper to be carrying.

If there were a serious problem afflicting blacks I might be convinced to join in under the proper circumstances. But this opens the door to the reverse if there is not a serious problem. If the NAACP is going to pull this kind of garbage when there isn't a problem, then I guess the public is free to boycott any suspected members of the NAACP in retaliation.
Wanna play games? Okay, lets play games. If the American public is as fed up with whining as I am, the NAACP is about to get the lesson of their life.

The boycotts didn't work. Some say they had the opposite effect. So now the NAACP will start using physical intimidation to keep people away.
Overheard from a South Carolinian, "If we take down the flag, can we still keep the boycott?"

Time would be better spent in the Charleston projects encouraging black children to stay in school, fathers to stick around, and cleaning out the drug pushers. I guess that would not give them any media coverage. Come on Archie! If they did that, it might create the false appearance that some how blacks are responsible for the horrid state of affairs in black America. Us enlightened types realize that the brother can never possibly succeed while distracted by a Confederate flag being flow somewhere!
Note to self: Stop in South Carolina to buy one of their state flags.

They want publicity, and a few fights would give it to them.

Taking responsibility for their own actions as a people removes power from the NAACP. As long as it is someone elses fault they have a cause and are assured never to solve the problem and thus always retain power. They follow the example of democratic government as practised in the US.

Damn...if I only had the money, I'd go and spend it on South Carolina right now!
To: shuckmaster
Too late - I already stayed in South Carolina when I drove down to Florida. I was happy to give them my money at the hotel and restaurant and will do it again. As a New Yorker if I saw these selfish and idiotic people trying to block my way I would drive right thru them. Nothing makes me more angry than someone trying to dictate what I should do with my time and money.

You know something.....this could be the best thing that ever happened to the tourist industry of South Carolina!

S.C. Attorney General Charlie Condon said the civil rights group's plan breaks the law.
"It's an illegal secondary boycott and so on behalf of the state of South Carolina I'm going to be looking into the possibility of bringing a lawsuit against them for monetary damages," Condon said.
This seems strange. I'm against the boycott, but how is it illegal? I'd say I'm just as opposed to the idea that a boycott could be illegal.

I'll be vacationing at Hilton Head this summer as usual...and giving the finger to these folks on the border. South Carolina already removed the Confederate battle flag from the top of their state capital building...now the NAALCP wants to eradicate all remembrances of the Confederacy...they'll never be happy...screw 'em.
To: rabidralph
I live 20 miles from the Highway 25 and I-26 border crossings. Can anybody write a brochure to hand out to people at the facts. We need to get the truth out.
Some of the facts:
The flag is now on the Conferderate Soldier Memorial, were else should a battle flag be?
Democrat Senator Fritz Hollings raised the Flag 1961(?).
Please ad facts and correct mine as needed.
