Calling it a "contemporary symbol of divisiveness and racism," eBay said Tuesday that it will ban the sale of Confederate flags and similarly themed merchandise.

"This decision is consistent with our long-standing policy that prohibits items that promote or glorify hatred, violence and racial intolerance," said eBay spokeswoman Johnna Hoff.

The e-commerce company is the latest to prohibit the sale of Confederate merchandise following Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Sears Holdings Corp.

So when is all of this hatred of the Confederate flag going to bite the Clintons on the butt politically?

never because the media will defend and cover for them.
They have got away with lying about sex, scandals, deaths in Benghazi etc and most do not know. Yet most know about a battle flag which did not kill those 9 people.

I regret not buying a confederate flag tshirt when I was in Gettysburg a few weeks back.

Let me know if they are still selling. I will make a trip just for that.

Exactly.

At least with books (unlike mere symbols), you can learn the madness behind the writer. See what makes them tick.

My sister “got in trouble” for reading Mein Kampf in her high school back in the day. She was questioned why she had it. My mother has all this stuff from history - and likes us to know about it in full.

Would they ever question us for having “Communist Manifesto” and “Das Kapital”, which we also have? Not on your life!

Confederate flags are selling like crazy on eBay.

I guess eBay is waiting until the sales die down before they ban them.

Gotta rake in the bucks while they still can.

They already ditched the flag several years ago.

Now it’s just the Generally.

That could make a good movie.

Well this is interesting. Tried searching for "Confederate Flag" on Google and got results.

Click the "shopping" link and Google reports 0 Results.

Google censoring what you can shop for now.
