Using this tragedy to promote their agenda. They are sick bastards.

The flag is a battle flag, I suggest these idiots look at our own flag which flew on slave ships, and went out west proudly while we killed, raped, robbed and removed the Native Americans.

Sick of these people claiming to be holier than thou and still wage war on the south and Southerners.

Cognitive dissonance. A flag didn’t kill those people, a drug-addled nutjob did.

Exactly. The flag had nothing to do with it.

Anyone calling it “the Confederate Flag” deserves to be ignored. That flag was never the “Confederate Flag.” It was but one of the battle flags of the C.S.A. The most common rectangular flag with the St Andrews Cross is actually a Navy flag. Regardless, the Battle Flag and Naval Flag always flew inferior to the actual national flag of the Confederacy.

My guess is that these types of idiots are completely clueless as to the large number of southern States that actually have parts of Confederate flags (not the Battle Flag) in their State flags. They would be shocked and no doubt greatly offended. Instead, they take offense toward something that is now what they think it is.

Personally, I prefer the 2nd National Flag of the Confederacy - but my ancestors fought and died under the Battle Flag. If it “represents hate” it is the hate that Yankee carpet-baggers have for anything southern.

Excellent point. The gun did not kill those those victim by itself either. The drug-addled nutjob did

When everyone gets over the Gadsden Flag, or the Stars and Stripes (both which I love). I will not participate in suppressing historical truth for a bunch of PC whiners.

Another “Southerner” who has become enlightened and wiser. Tell me, now that you have taken the shades off your eyes, how often do you recoil and tremble when you see an American flag after yet another mass slaughter outside the South?

Thhe drug-addled nutjob

That's where the focus should be. All of these homicidal maniacs have a soulless look in their eyes. It seems that everyone of them had been prescribed mind-altering legal pharmaceuticals.

The media has trivialized the real anger and hurt we all feel for those victims in this horrific shooting. It's not about a flag, it's about people who were slaughtered in a church.

This is the man who brought the confederate flag back to South Carolina in the 60's. HE WAS A DEMOCRAT:

Ernest Frederick "Fritz" Hollings served as a Democratic United States Senator from South Carolina from 1966 to 2005, as well as the 106th Governor of South Carolina and the 77th Lieutenant Governor. Wikipedia

I guess it’s time to take CBF/SS licence plate off the front of my truck. I’m endangering my family from some wacho.

A sad day in America.

Yeah, I suspect every newspaper in the country will ‘miss’ that fact... Hey Washington Post - the Confederate Flag was brought back by DEMOCRAT FRITZ HOLLINGS...

Never mentioned in any way except for Limbaugh and may be a few others on AM.
