How is the world is a statue of GW offensive to anyone?

He was a slave owner and we're living in a country of historical revisionism, reparations for the descendants of slaves, an affirmative action president and a population of blacks that think the freakin universe revolves around them, so, shut your cracker ass up and get back to work because .gov needs all the tax dollars they can steal to waste on more inner city schools and pay 'entitlements' to the oppressed great-great-great-great grandchildren of slaves and those seeking a better way of life crossing the Mexican/American border illegally.

I'm thinking they all had Lincoln's. And being products of public screwls, they're totally unaware of how Lincoln felt about blacks.

Claudette Lee, 56, rode to the rally on one of two buses from Detroit, organized by Michigan talk show host Mildred Gaddis. This was Lee’s second year coming to the rally. Those who came with her chanted, “The D is in the house.” Lee said she hopes to build support for the rally in her home state to remove the flag here.

Wish these yankees would stay at home.

Read the article, they had to bus them in from Detroit. They couldn’t draw that big of a crowd with our own SC people.

Besides them being bussed in from Detroit, here is a picture of them boxing George in and I don't think there were anywhere near the so called 1200 people.

Disgusting. (Boxing the father of our country.)

If they hate this country so much, go live somewhere else. I can guarantee you, you won’t get all of the ‘free speech’ you get here in the US of A.
