SCANA modifies Confederate flag policy;Maurice Offers 'Free Lunch' to SCANA Employees
WLTX ^ | 8/21/02 | WLTX

Posted on 08/22/2002 12:18:01 PM PDT by PJeffQ

SCANA officials are clarifying their position on the Confederate flag, even as Maurice Bessinger fires another volley against the company's policies.

A press released issued by SCANA Wednesday says the company has never banned the Confederate flag, or issued a ruling telling employees not to eat at certain restaurants.

CEO Bill Timmerman says the company's Code of Conduct tries to prevent divisive symbols which may harass other employees. Timmerman says as long as it's meant as heritage it would be okay for an employee to display a Confederate emblem while at work.

He also says employees can eat at Maurice Bessinger restaurants--just not in a company vehicle. He says it's in response to Bessinger's pro-slavery views.

In response, Bessinger released a press release Wednesday saying all SCE&G employees, the energy company that's a subsidiary of SCANA, could eat for free at his stores if they showed up in a company vehicle. If they bring their company identification, they can eat at half price.

No, but I had heard the Klintons were involved in helping WalMart in exchange for use of WalMart's distribution system for government purposes which I cannot verify.

walt,N-S & rav are TRUE BELIEVERS in the correctness and morality of the great BLOODSPILLER/TYRANT/WAR CRIMINAL "Abe the first" of the USA. NOTHING will open their eyes to the TRUTH;NOTHING!

they are even foolish & blind enough to believe that our ancestors were fighting for something other than LIBERTY for the southland. can you imagine a literate person that cannot figure that out?

free dixie NOW,sw

the majority of slaves sent to the western hemisphere were prisoners of war OR war booty as a result of the tribal wars in 18th & 19th century Africa.

those who were NOT sold into slavery were KILLED;therefore, perhaps "slavery was good for the negro" who was NOT KILLED?

while slavery was a hideous evil, it certainly would beat stoning,crucifixion,beheading or being beaten to death with sticks.

NOBODY has trouble realizing what slavery was.

what damnyankees, damnfools & useful idiots can't figure out is that chattal slavery was NOT a major cause of the WBTS; rather, FREEDOM for dixie WAS/IS the goal of southrons.

the TRUE CAUSE is STILL about LIBERTY from the hatefilled, arrogant, hateful, racist,anti-semitic, socialist,statist,imperialist DAMNYANKEES! nothing more, nothing less.

free the south,sw

They're socialists. Ravingon even tried to tell me that Freddy Douglass was a "libertarian". Anybody who buys the BS that bunch has swallowed is a candidate for a rubber room.

I'm doing just fine without any help, and I'd shoot some Confederates anytime but I wouldn't want to bite them for fear of catching the insidious disease that so disables their minds that they equate slaveholding with freedom.

With what? Liberals are scared of guns. Don't go around expressing the desire to shoot people or you'll be among the banned.
