Edwards shot back that "the Confederate flag is an offensive symbol to people all across the country."

Does anyone remember seeing the pictures of black protestors standing next to huge Confederate flags when they were supporting Reno's raid on Elian's house in Miami, Florida?

I wonder if any Freeper can find some of those pictures and post them here.

The Confederate flag is selectively offensive.

I've never seen that picture, but I do remember the huge battle flag in the picture at the Berlin Wall. I also remember a picture of Sudanese (black) freedom fighters standing in front of a battle flag.

When I was in Ireland many years ago I saw the starry St. Andrews Cross on many things and asked a local what it was about. They said it was the symbol of hospitality.

Only in America do the liberal bedwetters view this symbol as a symbol of oppression and hate. Elsewhere in the world it is the symbol of freedom and self-determination.
