Is secession an option?

[babble-on]

Good for her. The only sane thing to do. When a symbol exists as a rallying point for terrorists, then regardless of its other meanings, that one meaning has to take precedence.

[Sir Napsalot]

So, the cross next has to go, too?

Since it also offend so many libs.

[Parmy]

Why do they keep capitulating to the ignorant minorities?

I think some education would help. Oh! Excuse me, the protestors are not educable.

[ilgipper]

Push, push, push. The radical activists are always gaining ground, but never have to cede any. This shooting had absolutely nothing to do with this, but they bring up an unrelated debate and push, push, push. I think this was caused by the rising cost of healthcare under Obama...we need to repeal Obamacare to honor those affected. Equally related issue,

[bigbob]

At least she is accountable to the people of SC, as should be the case in issues like this, not some judge with a lifetime appointment.

[mcjordansc]

Good. There is no need to fly it on state house grounds. It should be relegated to museums. If individuals are so attached to the flag, let them fly it in their front yard.

[ifinnegan]

I don’t really care about the flag too much one way or the other.

But if she does this, she is ending her career.

This flag represents sexual harassment.

Let's get rid of it!

[RayChuang88]

Given the known history of that flag, I’m surprised that they didn’t encourage its removal from public display—let alone being part a state flag!—back in the 1960’s when the Civil Rights movement was strong enough to get it done.

[lodi90]

Sad. The Surrender Party never misses a chance to surrender.

[Vendome]

Don’t do it Mickie Mouse.

You will never hold office again....

[greene66]

Of course. Cower. Surrender. Cede the argument to the PC Nazis that their lunatic notions have merit. Kick off Andrew Jackson off the dollar bill, too. Force the Washington Redskins to change their name. Wave the flag of surrender to every tinpot lib fascist. Yep, keep empowering them. Just like they insist banning anyone from bringing Crosses and Bibles from anyplace on school grounds. Erase all our founding fathers from our history books. Cower, surrender, and grovel before your fascist masters.

Americans have become spineless wimps. A total disgrace to all our ancestors who built this nation. It’s become impossible to have anything but disgust and contempt for this entire generation of Americans.

[Yosemitest]

She's going to make the dependents of DEMOCRAT Ernest Frederick "Fritz" Hollings, 76th Governor of the State of South Carolina, 1959 to 1963, very angry.

" In 1962, during his term as Governor, the Confederate battle flag was flown above the SC Statehouse underneath the U.S. and state flags where it would remain for thirty-eight years. In 2000, the state legislature voted to move the flag from above the Statehouse to a Confederate soldiers' monument in front of the building. "

[cld51860]

Yeah, that will keep lunatics from gunning down innocent people. That’s the ticket. Feelgoodism is destroying this nation.

[paratrooper82]

After the confederate flag, then the American flag will be removed as offensive to the millions of foreign Nationals in this country illegally.

Wait for it . . . . . . .

[lavaroise]

And to replace it with what? The Mexican illegals’ flag? iSIS? Wow, really people?

[ScottinVA]

This removal would only be from the Statehouse and official buildings, but not a ban on private use.

[atc23]

It’s just amazing how the church massacre talking points came out so fast. The dead weren’t even in the ground yet and the “national conversation” is about the confederate flag. Stunning really how quickly the left gets on message
