Every Democrat candidate does this every four years; it plays well amongst Democratic primary voters in South Carolina. That's it.

Maybe it's not a flag but a hillary which needs to be removed from the grounds.

Doesn't Hannity have a Hillary clip, where she prattles on some nonsense about dissent and patriotism?

Conservative citizen Cincinnati65 said Monday that Hillary Clinton should remove herself from the Senate in part because OUR NATION SHOULD UNITE DURING A TIME OF WAR!!!!!

Hillary Loses in South Carolina Alert

She probably figures she can't win down there anyway, so she'll just insult them for the next two years.

She claims the nation should unite under one banner while at war, but then during war she has stabs the men and women in the back who fight that war.

Makes you wonder what she finds wrong with the Confederate flag since she obviously has no problem serving in a Congress she claims is run "like a plantation."

Hillary obviously had no problem with the state flag. The Arkansas flag has four stars inside a diamond. The top of the four stars in the center represents that Arkansas was a member of the Confederate States during the Civil War. The other three stars represent Spain, France and the United States, countries that had earlier ruled the land that includes Arkansas. Of course they'd honor France and Spain.

People should show up at her events waving those flags in her honor.

"Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you," Sen. Clinton said. "We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

The Democrats know what needs to be done. Again, we're working to try to push this agenda forward. The other day the oil companies reported the highest profits in the history of the world. (Laughter.) I want to take those profits and I want to put them into a strategic energy fund that will begin to find alternative smart energy, alternatives and technologies that will begin to actually move us toward the direction of independence! (Cheers, applause.)

South Carolinians should tell Mrs. Clinton they'll remove the flag when she removes the stain from Monicas' dress.

I'm really never sure why Presidential candidates have to do this same dog and pony show every time an election comes up. South Carolina is not the nation and can do what it damn well pleases. Why on God's green earth do candidates have to travel down to South Carolina every 4 years and proclaim that the flag should come down? Is it required in some sort of federal law?

Any politician, democrat or republican, that has to have a say in this will NOT get my vote at any time. They need to keep their noses out of South Carolina's business....plain and simple.

Breaking News:

Of course, Hillary would like to interfere with South Carolina's in state politics.

Hillary's political views lean towards socialism..Socialists do not believe in States Rights.

socialism-noun-any of various social systems based on shared or government ownership and administratrion of the means of production and distribution of goods.

Illustrations: Universal health care and shifting profits from oil companies..only to name a few things Hillary would like to accomplish.

The Confederate flag will be next to the Confederate monument on the SC State House grounds when Clinton is no longer in office or thought about.
