Cheney flagged down

[Ron]

Although a heavy police presence kept the media and curious local residents at a distance, Cheney's visit did stir up a bit of controversy when a New York Daily News photographer snapped a picture of a small Confederate flag hanging inside a garage on the hunt club property.

The photo was shown to New York City civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton (http://topics.cnn.com/topics/al_sharpton), who issued a statement demanding that the vice president "leave immediately, denounce the club and apologize for going to a club that represents lynching, hate and murder to black people."

"Ok Al, you apologize to the Duke Lacrosse players and I'll take the flag down.. Now run along"

Good point.

Political correctness gone overboard.

It feels very odd to say this. I agree with you.

Okay, I'm off to have a drink now. :)

The thing is that flag represents something totally different to southerners but the good revdoesn't give a whit about THEIR feelings and how they would be offended to make them give it up.
