David Beasley (R) didn’t actually remove the flag, he merely came out in favor of it’s removal. I believe the rat legislature tuned down his request.

The rat who beat him in 1998, Jim Hodges, avoiding mentioning the flag and played both sides.

In any case, the current Governor is Nikki Haley (R), and a "Tea Party" candidate.

Jim Hodges (D) didn't remove the flag, although the legislature moved it from the top of the capitol building to the confederate memorial during his tenure.

So if Haley proceeds with removal of the confederate flag from the capitol grounds, South Carolina will join Georgia as an example where a RAT Governor (Fritz Hollings) put the flag up, and a GOP Governor (Nikki Haley) took the flag down.

Not that the mainstream media will notice or care.

Thanks for the historical update. It was George Pataki, speaking on the Fox News program Outnumbered, who said that a Republican governor took it down and a Rat put it back up.
