Actually the GOP is distancing itself from the GA state flag issue.

That sounds sensible. It has been the tradition in Georgia has been to change the state flag every few decades. I think that the current flag is the seventh state flag since the Civil War.

I see nothing wrong with that. Here is a site with a description of Georgia's colorful flag history.

I notice the Confederate battle flag wasn't added until 1956. What was the reason?

The new flag is the ugliest of the 50 states, if not the world. It violates standard rules of banner design. Remember King Roy, called a secret session with only 15 minutes notice to change the state flag.

Funny thing is....the CBF is still there! Another failure for the NAACP (and King Roy)!
