95% Confederate guy was an OWS plant.
Or just a guy just signaling his “rebelliousness” which that has been a symbol of for many years. Probably no racial implications whatsoever.
Who'll pay for Detroit then?

For reasons unbeknownst to me, I turnedo n the late showing of the ‘Kelly File’, and as expected, not only is she Sharpton pimping for affirmative action, but she’s also bringing up this non-story as an example of racism among conservatives.
THAT is never gracing my screen again. In some ways, worse than Queen Shep.
The Orlando Weekly is a left wing rag written and run by the decadent gay community. Sorry for the redundancy.
95% Confederate guy was an OWS plant.
98% in my opinion...
These lefty guys are spooked.
I kind of figured that out by their ads. Seems like every city above 20,000 population has one of those now. Dallas and Fort Worth have more than one each.
The length of a Marxist rant is proportional to the number of lies contained therein...and also proportional to the level of fear experienced by the miscreant writer.
Let’s assume the Confederate flag guy was not a plant; ok, so he was less than 1% of the crowd. But how many OWS or anti-Bush protestors, were self-proclaimed anarchists or communists or socialists ? Much more than 1%. But that was simply ignored.
About what we expected from her though, right? I had her on auto record, but no more. I tried to watch a couple of her shows to get a feel for it, but even with fast forward she was a little to much for me to take. Her absolute worship of Judge Judy that tough as nails Obama lover was a little over the top as well.
Henry Blodget
In 2002, then New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer published Merrill Lynch e-mails in which Blodget gave assessments about stocks which allegedly conflicted with what was publicly published.
In 2003, he was charged with civil securities fraud by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. He agreed to a permanent ban from the securities industry and paid a $2 million fine plus a $2 million disgorgement.

Hello Steve...noted your post and you are right. They will always frame their opeds on whatever sliver they can find.
Just like they zeroed in on Cruz, Lee and Palin showing up and using the vets for Political clout......when they should have been saying.. ‘where were all the OTHER members of congress’ who should have been there supporting the vets!!!
The changes Fox is making I would not be surprised at all to see them bring Oprah on board soon.
A recent article in the Philadelphia City Paper by Jeffrey Billman depicting an untruthful and bias representation of a Constitution class has upset many locals who attended the event as well as others who saw the article as giving a false depiction of the event.
First off, Billman did not successfully pull off the “journalist spy” tactic as seen in this article about infiltrating a Tea Party meeting. Michael Badnarik, class presenter and Libertarian Party presidential candidate of 2004, even said in the beginning of the class that “he keeps the doors open because he wants everyone to be welcome and to hear what he is saying.” Billman was seen coming into the class for about five minutes and then left. He expected to find a bunch of “domestic terrorists” shacked up making, as he would say, “Obama to Hitler references.” He mentioned that Badnarik “had a chalk board like Glenn Beck” — the class was in a college classroom and he used the chalk board once to post important historical dates. Personally, I despise Glenn Beck and so would any other well informed, principled person. I would love to know how Billman made such inferences from sitting in an 8 hour long class for five minutes — he must be a fortune teller to know of the overall class experience. And complaining about the $100 fee? For an 8 hour class, a book and free lunch? Billman also argues that all the information from the class is readily available on the internet for free, but it can be argued that the context of the classroom is different. The Constitution, for example, is not taught in substance in public schools to the effect that the rule of law and individual liberty have been decimated.

>>who knows how many were actual veterans<<
What would it take to convince this DNC parrot? Does he want them marching in formation, with weapons? I’m willing to bet that the Veterans March increased the number of real Americans in Versailles on the Potomac by 1,000,000%
The Battle Flag wasn’t about being “racist” then & it isn’t about being racist now.
Believe it or not, there are Southerners who happen to be Black who hold the flag near their hearts, too. They, too, have Southern ancestors.
I can’t speak for everyone, but I believe this is the majority point of view.
It’s about our heritage & definitely about our resistance to federal overreach & oppression, though.
Heh. The left is having a hissy fit & trying to say that the flags being in front of the WH had some “threatening” implication. I strongly doubt that. If our president was White & had been pulling the crap 0bama has pulled, the flags would have been there just the same.
We’re sick of Washington DC. And the South isn’t unique for that right now.
