Here's the link. You may have noticed but this link is not just one of the far right wing web sites that just hates Obama and makes things up.

Some of the left wingers here have ignored it so far, but that doesn't surprise me.

If Nikki Haley had half a clue, She would done what she did today last week. I think the only reason she has sudden got so brave is that several businesses explained the facts of life to her. South Carolina has a lot of work to do if it wants to get rid of its racist image. Right now any company that a number of valuable Black employees is not going to move there.

Nice going Robert, protecting the left wing talking-points-default position.

As I have repeatedly reminded everyone on PA over the years, it is the Democrat Party that is the bastion of hatred and racism.

What the wonderful Nikki Haley did in calling for the Confederate Flag to be taken down was an act of courage, common sense and common decency. She also took away the phony talking points of the Democrats. And she did it out of respect and understanding for Black Americans in South Carolina and throughout the USA. She did not act by taking phone calls from businesses around the country.

This is unlike the POS you call President Obama who continues to prove to all Americans how hateful, stupid and class-less he is. To use the N-word is a disgrace to all Americans and the office of the Presidency of the USA.

One last reminder, below is a post I posted at another thread here. The last line that I highlighted deserves a comment. The leading contender for the Democrats in 2016, Hillary Rodham Clinton, said in both 2008 and throughout her tenure as Arkansas first lady, that she supports the Confederate Flag flying over the state house buildings. You go girl, Hillary!

Per the website, gateway pundit:

Bill Clinton had a Confederate flag-like issue of his own. Arkansas Code Annotated, Section 1-5-107, provides as follows:

“(a) The Saturday immediately preceding Easter Sunday of each year is designated as ‘Confederate Flag Day’ in this state.

"(b) No person, firm, or corporation shall display an Confederate flag or replica thereof in connection with any advertisement of any commercial enterprise, or in any manner for any purpose except to honor the Confederate States of America. [Emphasis added.]

"(c) Any person, firm, or corporation violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined not less than one hundred dollars ($100) nor more than one thousand dollars ($1,000)."

Bill Clinton took no steps during his twelve years as Governor to repeal this law.

If that's the case, smart guy, then why have they waited over a hundred years to take it down?
This isn't over. Mississippi's state flag has the Confederate flag embedded on it. I suppose a new flag is in order? I suppose had they been flying a flag with the "N" word written on it would be the same thing.

Now going back in Dukes of Hazzard reruns and blurring the car.

I don't believe it!

Robert,

This is where you are and all the rest of the liberals are wrong.

For the racist, there is no difference between displaying the Confederate flag and using the "N" word. That flag IS USED by the worst elements of society.

However, for some southerners (who obviously were not slave owners and whose families may not have even immigrated to the US at that time) it means something else.

It's currently about a sense of pride in being a conservative southerner as opposed to a northern liberal.

The way people in blue states feel a sense of pride in what they believe are more enlightened views on religion, abortion, evolution vs creationism, the size of government, states rights, health care, taxes, military, guns, etc.... people from red states feel a sense of pride in their opposing views on those same subjects.

This great divide between blue and red states on a lot of issues prompts some people from the south to use that flag to express southern pride.

I am a southerner.

I believe in God.

I believe God created man.

I am pro life.

I believe the US is the greatest country in the world and we need a strong military to defend it.

I believe in low taxes and small government.

I believe in states rights.

I believe you can never own too many guns.

I'm not sure how you bridge that because people have every right to be offended by a flag that represented a group of states that seceded primarily (but not exclusively) over slavery. Yet other people (who may not be racist) have a right to wave a flag that historically ties them together on a set of values that differentiates them from the north and liberals.

You sort of wish they would just abandon that flag and replace it in some way out of sensitivity. There has to be a better way to express it. This is one of the rare times I think just going along with "political correctness" would be a good idea.

In 2001, the state of Mississippi put it on the ballot whether or not to remove the Southern Cross from their state flag. It didn't pass, but apparently one of their Repub Senators is trying to get it removed again.

Georgia changed their flag only to accommodate the Summer Olympics back in '96.

But, if what Robert Fischer is posting is correct, for them to blur the image on the General Lee's roof is borderline ridiculous.

Interesting. Wal Mart will stop selling items related to the battle flag.


Wal Mart

These campaign buttons are going to be collectables

Damn racists, those two hooligans.
Right, Bobby?

But they will continue to sell guns. Talk about hypocrites!

there really is no good that has come out of this black eye in American history, but it has woke me up to the real meaning of how precious life really is by watching these fine people from the family and community of Charlestown, S.C. come together spiritually and helped one another. i have never seen anything like this in my life.

because of their spirituality these people have not let stress rule their lives. its a great way to live and stay healthy. if this had happened to me i know i would have been a complete wreck.

If I wanted to take a cheap shot, I might suggest a linkage between this outcome and the fact that Al Sharpton doesn't seem to have showed up down there.

But nah, that would be too easy.

You can hear a Black person say the "N" word from time to time, But I have never even heard of a Black person flying the Confederate flag. Not once in my 67 years on this earth. The "Southern Pride" that supposedly that flag represents is only a White person thing.

It is being widely reported that business groups such as the Chamber of Commerce had asked Haley to remove the Flag.
