"Flying, say, Bismark's flag, the rising sun battle flag, or Saddam's Iraqi standard would be just as offensive, and, I would guess, not readily defended by many who defend flying the Confederate flag."

This statement isn't true and you know it. Nobody in America would give a rat's axx if someone flew the flag of the Franco-German War of 1870-71. Nobody even got offended when you misspelled Bismarck, Otto von.

All that's going on with the Confederate flag is that one favored influence group, with the backing of the media, is slandering and attacking an historic artifact. What was once the Civil Rights movement is now the civil-rights industry.
