Angry clashes have erupted between members of the Ku Klux Klan and the New Black Panther Party as both groups rally at the South Carolina statehouse.

Confederate flags were stolen and ripped up to cheers and applause from the New Black Panther demonstrators - while KKK members stood on the steps of the capitol performing Nazi salutes.

The white supremacists came out in force on Saturday afternoon to condemn the governor's decision to remove the Confederate Flag due to its associations with racial hatred.

Countering their demonstration, around 400 people with links to the New Black Panther Party marched in the name of racial equality - calling on politicians to do more than simply bring down a flag.

Although leaders insisted they would steer clear of one another, disputes were soon breaking out between off-shoots.

One police officer was seen holding a white man in a Confederate flag to the ground screaming for assistance. Other officers were seen in tactical gear in case the protests boiled over.

According to the Charleston Post-Courier, there were three fights that police were forced to break up.

It is the latest clash in Columbia, SC, following the racist shooting of nine black churchgoers at the hands of 21-year-old pro-Confederacy Dylann Roof last month.

I believe it does have a place at monuments and museums. It is a part of our cultural heritage. And private property, public events for specific celebrations it should certainly fly high. Blacks fought under that flag, too.

The speed with which the phony outrage came together all at once from all directions and all with the same talking points indicates someone had the flag flap planned in advance.

Yep, that's the all too predictable pattern when every new human caused tragedy comes along.

They run with any aspect of it that fits their agenda putting on a show with their usual cast of characters, boring plot and predictable results.

Just our luck.

Some cars get Overhauled and some people get Punk'd.

But our country drew the short straw got Community Organized, which then jumped the shark pretty early in the first season and has been stuck in syndicated reruns ever since.

Can't wait until this program gets cancelled!

Look back at the 2010 attempted car bombing in NYC.

The left came up with the premise the TEA Party were a bunch of ultra violent, racist right wing extremist, Tim McVeigh wannabes and low and behold there is an attempted bombing in NYC which just had to be the TEA Party because it was a fertilizer bomb just like Tim McVeigh used.

The left starts a calling for rounding up the TEA Party for being terrorist.

The TEA Party has no official membership so nobody knows who is and who isn’t TEA Party. There is no one to be labeled as terrorist.

Lucky for the left demanding the TEA Party be rounded up and labeled as terrorist, the IRS working with the DoJ has started demanding the names of everyone associated with TEA Party groups so there is very conveniently a way for the DoJ to get the names of anyone associated with the TEA Party and label them as terrorist.

We are supposed to believe it’s all just by coincidence.

The dems talking points before the attempted bombing in NYC in 2010 are almost an exact repeat of the dems talking points before the OKC bombing in 1995.

Only people that live in “Realville” with Rush can’t see a connection and still believe it’s just a coincidence.

If these groups wiped each other out, the country would be better for it.

+1.

However, it's amusing that this is said: while KKK members stood on the steps of the capitol performing Nazi salutes without providing the context that the Klukkers were probably throwing the salutes in mockery of the NBPP's Fascism.

Wrong. The Confederate flag should be on Government property, which is where many confederate memorials are.
