Number one, they didn’t criticize the Confederate flag, they praised the American flag. The question was a CNN ploy to get a headline.

Number two, if someone does or doesn’t vote for President based on what that person said or didn’t say about the Confederate Flag...well that’s impossible for me to fathom.

Number three, the guy who asked the question was one of Paul’s supporters (somebody looked him up on youtube, the link is on the debate thread.)

And finally, people that are making a big deal of this should probably “save their Confederate dollars cause the South’s gonna rise again.”

It was a cheap shot from CNN. The Conferderate battle flag has it’s place in history. That is where it should be.

Actually the Suit did criticize it and said something to the effect it shouldn't be shown anywhere. I suppose he wouldn't be welcome at my house as the only flag in front of my house is the Stars and Bars. Number two, I won't vote for a candidate if they come out against the flag of my ancestors (even though the gentleman did not have the Stars and Bars on his wall as Anderson stated). Indifferent is one thing. Negativity to a symbol of which I am proud another. Three, it matters who he supports? There is a deeper underlying meaning to that flag and that is a recognition of the First Republic (although I realize many Republicans don't much care for a nation of separate and sovereign states as evidenced by the socon desire to legislate morality at the national level)
