You associate the Confederate Flag with Democrats, whereas they are campaigning against it now .... you're talking about 50, 80, 150 years ago. I'm talking about right now. I'm talking about the NAACP and their "bloody shirt" campaign against everyone and everything "white", i.e. Caucasian. Remember how Bill Clinton was said to be the "first black President" -- it was claimed as an honor, a "first black" pushing back the hated tide of European-Americans and everything they stand for.

Don't you get it yet? This is just black racism, pure and undiluted.

As it was then so it is now, the Ku Klux Klan is a branch of the DemonRAT party. And those 'RATs have always embraced the Confederate battle flag.

Sorry Lent, but on this issue I side with Governor Haley. I will concede that the apparent motivation for the flag's removal was ill-timed. As a Republican, she should have had it taken down on her very first day in office. That would have been a principled stance against what the despicable 'RAT Fritz Hollings put there in the first place. In my opinion, Rush Limbaugh got it right today when he made it clear that the Confederate battle flag is 'RAT through and through...always has been, always will be.
