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 one question no one is asking, “If both KKKlinton Campaigns knew of these buttons, then where are the copies of filed stop and desist orders to the makers of said buttons.” They are using the made up excuse that these were not union shops(pure Bravo Sierra)
Just like the 4 Democrats who blew up the 16th street Baptist church with 15 sticks of dynamite in 1963 killing 4 black girls.
These people are insane. Their thinking is that same as that of ISIS when they destroy the artifacts from past civilizations because they want to erase all memory of them.
They will call it something else. They ain’t about to give up those paid three day weekends.
Oh, but you know what, Madame Grandma, it does.
It’s part of our history.
But what about the illegal alien who killed Bob Barry while he was riding his bike? The one without a drivers license or any actual right to be here and in possession of cocaine?
Does Gustavo Castillo have a place in this country, granny?
Can we ban illegal aliens before they kill more innocent citizens while they are driving around with coke?
What do you think of that, Madame Ambassador Killer?
It’s conservative to abolish the nation’s history and traditions?
OK, I’ll bite.
No one is ‘wrapping themselves up in it’.
No one is ‘defending it’.
It is an inescapable symbol of past history and heritage that cannot be changed for better or worse. Go ahead and forget about history, and join the others on the ‘Shining Path’.
No one even talks about it.. I lived in SC for 7 years before I knew they celebrated it and only because I needed to replace a license and couldn’t because office was closed
Just looked. Several states have it. What is going to happen now to those flags on the graves?

This whole thing hacks me off. Like it or not, many men were DRAFTED into the Civil War. But let’s just pee on their graves and pretend they are bad people. It’s ludicrous.
Hillary Clinton should be tried and executed for murder, treason and more murder.
I consider murdering a lot of Americans and doing it willfully to be a much more serious thing that flying a popular flag in the South.
I did not grow up in the south, sorry. I believe in American first and celebrating the Confederate flag is no different that celebrating the Nazi flag. I know I should skip this topic here but people need to realize that there are a lot of conservatives and Republicans who are not from the south. Me, I grew up in Idaho and Alaska. Anyway, as a practical matter, when is the last time you saw any candidate campaign with the Conferate flag? About the time Democrats like the Clintons walked away from it, those Dixiecrats among others died off, it found its way into the Republican Party. Ever think there might be a reason for this?
I like what Ann Coulter said about that on Twitter:

Imagine you’re the CEO of Gold’s Gym and you wake up to that news. “Good morning, sir, are you sitting down?”
LOL!
< >
if they are bad and toxic, yes, of course. Conservatives are not a branch of the flat Earth society.
I know. I have roots in the CW.
And dont forget in 1999 bill clinton pardoned 16 Puerto Rican FALN terrosits that had set off over 20 bombs that killed people in New York and Chicago.
“...celebrating the Confederate flag
is no different than celebrating the Nazi flag...”

Playing the Nazi card always shows that the one doing it has lost the argument.
Did you notice the killer was waving an American flag?
Should we ban that too?
And he was wearing a Gold’s Gym shirt...Boycott Gold’s Gym!
The Founding Fathers had slaves. Going to ban the Constitution? Abolish the US?
those who erase history are doomed to repeat it
The left has now declared open war on words and symbols, and by “left” I mean pretty much the whole GOP too.
The Reign of Terror is coming sooner than later.
