‘It’s Got to Go’: Shepard Smith Calls for Mississippi to Remove Confederate Emblem From State Flag
Mediaite ^ | 7:58 pm, May 5th, 2017 | Joe DePaolo

Earlier, we posted about a speech delivered by Shepard Smith at his alma mater, the University of Mississippi, in which he discussed his experience coming out.

During that same address, Smith also talked about the Confederate flag — and called upon the state of Mississippi to remove the Confederate flag pattern from its own state flag.

“It’s got to go,” Smith said. “Put it in the museum. Don’t get rid of it. Certainly put it in a museum, used it as a teaching device, have it as part of your curriculum… Get it out of the stadium. Get it out of my Grove. Get it out of my state. I’m embarrassed by this.”

If he succeeds in getting rid of the Confederate emblem in the Mississippi flag, he will next be demanding that the Star Spangled Banner be replaced with the Gay National Anthem.

New day journalism. Don’t just report the news but advocate for your favorite agenda.

The Confederate Battle Flag needs to stay and be hung up by anyone who appreciates the history and pride of the deep South and confederates. Those who don’t like it can pack sand right up to the buckle.

It doesn’t represent racism to everyone. For those it does; that’s on them and it’s their problem to work out. It’s a free speech issue and people don’t have the right to not be offended and every little thing in the world.

Word is the liberal/progressive leftists now hate the American flag. They are offended by it just like the Confederate Flag. I’m seeing a parallel between leftists and muslims. Neither can be made happy... ever. Yep; right up to the buckle.

I was just going to quip “Another fairy trying to get his way” and then I read about him coming out so I guess that type of comment would be holy wrong. My bad!

1984: Chapter 4 - Cliffs Notes:
In this chapter, Orwell gives a great deal of detail about Winston’s job and the place in which he works, the Records Department in the Ministry of Truth, where his job is to rewrite history according to Party need.

It looks like the Ctrl-Left is once again reading 1984 as a blueprint.

I can’t imagine why anyone would give a fart what Shep says or thinks.

The “game” of throwing the bean bag, or corn bag, that I saw was called corn holing by the ESPN announcers. I believe whomever came up with the idea to call it “corn hole” was pulling a fast one on some dummies.

I know the “cartoon” mascot has disappeared but the name “rebel” is still used.

Smith almost killed a woman with his vehicle in a moment of rage over a lousy parking spot back in 2000.

Fox's Shepard Smith goes unpunished - News anchor arrested for hitting woman with car, charges dropped

He is a sexual pervert, egotistical, emotionally unstable, and a criminal.

Why is he still on Fox News, getting paid a pile of money?

Hey Shep - Mississippi is more ashamed of you than you could ever be of her.

Without character assassinating “Shep”, he may be the most pretend journalist (if he is a journalist at all) of all time. He exudes amateurism and “golly gosh” emotional outpourings. He must have gotten his job by “satisfying” his male superiors...

Next he will go after the Catholic Church because of the tortures they committed during the Dark Ages and the witch hunts.

“It’s Shep Smith who has got to go”..........

I’ve been suggesting that for years. Never cared to hear or watch him on TV, when I used to watch FOX news, but NO LONGER!

The first time my husband heard the word corn hole for a game he was like WTH?! You are correct that someone pulled a fast one calling it consoling. It’s amazing because they have corn hole ttournaments & the winners can win a nice pot of money.

The bear is such a forgettable part of Ole Miss that I had even forgotten his name is Rebel Bear until I read your post. They can change it 50 more times, but it doesn’t matter because because Colonel Feb is everywhere.

I guess you’re right. That’s what happens when you’re in a hurry and just read the headline. :-)
