Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Monday afternoon added his voice to a swiftly growing list of Republicans calling for the removal of the Confederate flag from the grounds of South Carolina’s state house.
“Now is the time to do what is right, and I support the call by Governor [Nikki] Haley and South Carolina leaders to remove the Confederate battle flag from state house grounds,” Priebus said in the statement.

As far as I’m concerned the GOP can go pound sand.....
Here comes the band wagon everybody jump on it’s good for votes.
The ba$tard socialists want to destroy our heritage by denigrating the Confederate Battle Flag so they can replace it with their version of history rewritten to support their ultimate goal. The useful idiots in office can’t even see they are being used.
A proud southern boy…….
Now that flags suddenly have meaning, can we pass a law banning the burning of the US flag?
Good grief - they are playing right into the hands of the narrative.
The Confederates were DEMOCRATS. Abraham Lincoln was a REPUBLICAN. The Ku Klux Klan was full of DEMOCRATS.
The narrative has now been completely twisted to have Republicans having to call for the removal of a classic symbol of Democrat rule and having to apologize for it. Good grief.
In Pander Points I think the RNC has accumulated
.0000000132% of a point with this.
But he burned the American flag, idiots.
How about call a special election and see what the residents of the state want to do about the flag... it’s their capitol, after all.
Progressives/Libs are flanking the Pubbies again by making an issue.
Pubbies fall for it!!!! Again!!!!!
GOPee votes to join Bernie Sanders.
the GOP (authors of ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE)
accept ANY narrative of the DNC and Obama the Moslem.
The flag was put there by DNC segregationists.
Why does the GOP not point that out?
Answer: The are too busy attacking the TEA Party
using the IRS with McCain.
Those people would be alive today if that flag wasn’t up there! If not now, when?
With an idiot like this as chairman, no wonder things are so backwards.
Wimpety wimp wimp wimp—and have you seen our balls lately??
..............so—what’s new?
Why should the RNP or the GOP get involved...it has nothing to do with them, they didn’t put it up, it doesn’t have a meaning for them....this is all about demonRATS, it was a demonRAT that put it up, and all this hoop-la in Arkansas is no different...Governor Bill Clinton enacted the State of Arkansas have a holiday for the flag that is in Arkansas...so all this crap from “The Old Hag” about taking down the one in South Carolina is just that CRAP....take the one down from Arkansas MRS “Old Hag” and then talk about someone else’s State....
Apparently, WE ARE ALL FEMALES NOW.
In terms of political warfare, this move by Haley and the RNC is sheer BRILLIANCE. As someone pointed out earlier, the fact is, the rebel flag was installed by a DEMOCRAT, and is being removed by REPUBLICANS. Sheer political BRILLIANCE!
BUT, as I mentioned before, it is, as Rush would say, "Symbolism over Substance". The flag did not cause the events in Charleston SC. Evil did, and removing the rebel flag DOES NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE to stop stuff like this.
It’s not about the flag! It’S ABOUT CONTROL! Will the Gadsden flag be mext? I have had one ripped from my Durango and one from my front porch by the union/rat thugs infesting Pittsburgh.
Meanwhile pictures of Che, Fidel, Mao, Stalin and others are on tee shirts, helmets and elsewhere and CELEBRATED!
Listen to the voices you SHOULD be listening to ...
Will they demand that it be removed from history books, too?
