HK Edgerton, one of the few members of the NAACP with some sense.

Tell the bastards that you are giving them 30 days to shut up, or it’s war.

Any fool can see it is going to come down to that anyway, so let’s get it over with. This thing has been coming for 50 years.

I don’t flaunt anything, but if they really piss me off I might just change my mind.

The NAACP seems too have an unlimited supply of Stupidity at it's disposal.

Poll asking if right wing should be monitored more closely on this page, thought you might want to send out to the poll list!

Tell the NAACP & the rest of their clan to BITE ME!

My sister came over last night & saw the Confederate flag hanging on my LR wall, & that I had the book The South Was Right!, & she immediately asked me, "Chris, why do you hate black people"?

WTF??? Such ignorance is completely outrageous & people should be ashamed of themselves for jumping to such idiotic conclusions. I don't hate ANYONE....what's wrong w/ having Southern Pride & a love for the South & its culture?

I think the Florida chapter of the NAACP should ask their brothers in South Carolina how well their boycott is going…
