Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday the Confederate battle flag should not be displayed “anywhere,” weighing in as South Carolina lawmakers seek to remove it from the grounds of their statehouse.

The Democratic presidential candidate called the deadly shootings of nine black church members in Charleston, South Carolina, “an act of racist terrorism perpetrated in a house of God.”

Clinton called the Confederate flag a “symbol of our nation’s racist past that has no place in our present or our future. It shouldn’t fly there. It shouldn’t fly anywhere.” …

The problem is that Democrats shed the Confederate flag and Republicans picked it up and are now left with the toxic mess. The party of Lincoln should never have had anything to do with it or people that waved it. Maybe now it can be removed from political discourse (and if that means some people cling to it and go as well, better for the party and country). In today's America, whether conservative or liberal, anyone wrapping themselves in or defending the Confederate flag will marginalize themselves. It is pure poison nationally.

Please, lets get the screaming and insults over with and move on the issues that Republicans and conservatives can win on.

Is there any bandwagon this bitch will not jump on? How about we ban the freakin’ Democrap party which has produced and supported a hell of lot more racism than any piece of cloth?

It’s not the actual flag that liberals hate.

It’s that fact that it represents free thinking and freedom from the tyranny of a central government.

It’s dangerous to have people in The Land Of The Free actually thinking they are free.

Yep.. tried to replace a license once and got to DMV and closed for Confererdate Holiday in South Carolina.. Doubt they get rid of that as it is a holiday for state workers.

Well the way his buddy Ayers treated the American flag maybe it shouldn’t have no place in the US either, especially when it’s refused by schools and universities to be flown or imaged during Cinco De Mayonnaise.
