FIGURES. Barack Obama Had His Own 2012 Confederate Flag Pin
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 6/23/15

Posted on 06/23/2015 8:48:12 PM PDT by Nachum

Many of the nation’s largest retailers abruptly decided this week to stop selling merchandise tied to the Confederate battle flag. Walmart, Sears, Kmart, eBay, Amazon and Etsy removed Confederate flag items from their online stores.

This comes after racist killer Dylann Storm Roof murdered 9 Christians in the Emanuel AME Church last week.

But Democrats have been using Confederate flags in their campaigns for decades.
Hillary Clinton had Confederate flag campaign pins in 2008.

You know that most campaign buttons are not made by the candidate/campaign themselves, right?

No presser to stop them from doing it either. What’s your point?

Sure they have been using them, that flag never bothered them and it does not now, but people could not wait to bow and give them what they wanted. Wake up America if its not to late. How many from here were at their watering troths saying yes maser whatever you want. They are laughing their rears off.

"But Democrats have been using Confederate flags in their campaigns for decades."

Especially during their campaigns from 1861 through 1865.

I have a Confederate officers’ sword which I inherited from my great grandfather. Might be a good time to sell.

Irrelevant. Clearly, Obama’s opinion on the confederate flag has evolved. /s

I don’t see the union bug on the pins, so I doubt they come from the campaign themselves.

I’ve seen tons of unauthorized pins that were created by people from outside of the various campaigns.
