At a tea party rally in Washington Sunday billed as the “Million Vet March,” one idiot decided to bring Confederate flag, which was enough for liberals to paint the entire Republican Party as racist.

The liberals don’t like the Gadsden flag either. So does that mean that anyone bringing a Gadsden flag to the march was also an idiot. I for one will NOT let the liberals choose my symbols for me.
Its simply a symbol of righteous defiance in my eyes and defiance is needed now more than ever. Its probably nearly as common to see here in the north as it is in the south (outside of the northeast)
I’ve got a Michigan native neighbor with a Confederate battle flag mural on the side of his barn that’s probably 15 feet tall. It shows a somewhat tattered but still standing flag waving in the breeze.
If you want to stick up for the Democratic Slaver Party, join them! You don’t belong at Free Republic.
I trolled lib sites, and that picture of the Battle flag is all over those sites. They are working overtime to project guilt by association.
There, it is as if the man with the battle flag represented and was the core of all the protests.
I see nothing wrong here but when you have a country full of “REAL history-challenged” people, race pimps (and we all know who I’m talking about) and electorate with an IQ well below room temperature of course the Confederate Flag will be used to cry racism. The dumbing down of America has almost come full circle.
They’ve done it before. IIRC in TX. Trying to remember specifics of that case to do a search for it.
It derailed the message of the rally, which is exactly my point. And its presence served absolutely no point whatsoever.
Another part of the problem:(media black-out)
The racism in America today is as much a product as Coca-Cola; pushed by Jackson, Sharpton, Farrakhan, and other glib Snake Oil salesmen...to keep their uneducated, misinformed, victims on their plantations where hate is manufactured 24/7, packaged and sold to schools, colleges and universities, churches, politicians, even to kindergartens.
America has been Balkanized by the hyphen. The American Negro are slitting their collective throats with it even those who just want to be Americans.........Don't let the race baiter's win.
Nope, it shows racists holding the antithasist of what they represent.
If you want to kowtow to political correctness then you don’t belong at Free Republic.
Matter of definition, I guess. Cults always are about power for the leader.
Only in your pea brain. Quit projecting you inner mental weaknesses on normal people.
Unfortunately, the “Rebel” flag of the Confederates cannot be seen without its history (unless one is ignorant of this fact) - that it was the flag of the Democrat Slavers. Now if we had a different “Rebel” flag that had no association; I would go for that!
Very well said.
The commies in the media coined the term "McCarthyism" in the 1950s as a pejorative. Considering that Senator Joseph McCarty was proved absolutely right about the threat posed to America by those treasonous fifth columnists, I'm proud to be branded as a McCarthyite. Similarly, I display the Confederate flag as a protest against the communists led by Hussein and Holder who have usurped power, installing a corrupt regime in Washington.
Good question.
“Similarly, a person bringing a Soviet Union flag to a pro-Obamacare rally would be idiotic, allowing us to point at the flag and call them all old school communists longing for the return of a brutal communist state.”
Or wear a Che tee shirt. They would seem to be all the rage now.
Republicans and tea-partiers have really been taking advantage of that.....
Time to take an ax to the base of the liberal ivory tower of PC.
I stand corrected.
