More demonization of whites, especially of white southern men. We got the left for that, why should the GOP patronize that?
Pols from every direction rushing to the first available microphone to score a few quick and easy, cheap points.
Nothing should be done with that flag unless and until it is put as a vote to the citizens of South Carolina
F-—ING REPUBLICANS! I HATE YOU!
People that burn books are evil. This is book burning, plain and simple.
Funny that none of these people were calling for the flag to be removed a month ago. This flag “issue” has nothing to do with some crazy person shooting down people. Cowards - all of them.
I really don’t think I can envision an organization that is so repulsively stupid as the GOP (always surrendering to the opposition’s narrative, giving false leftist memes legitimacy, and in the process coming across like the most contemptable and most groveling cowards one can humanly imagine).
The GOP truly makes me want to vomit.
They truly know not what they do. They’ll live to regret going down this road.
An emotional but necessary action. Clearly most Southerners view their ancestors who fought for the South as valiant and heroic soldiers who defended their homes and their land. Most were poor non slave owning people who essentially shared the same racial attitudes of their Northern opponents. It would be difficult to document that they were fighting primarily to defend slavery and oppress blacks. Yet essentially they were doing exactly that. Black people must shudder when they see the Confederate battle flag on public property and have a distinct impression of the attitudes of people who fly it privately.It will be a very wise person who somehow comes up with a long term approach to the display of this emblem that strikes such a different emotional cord in people.

150 years ago. The south thought they were as right as the north. It’s their heritage in the south. I’d be furious if my great, great grandfather died as part of the southern army.

FU, SO-CALLED 'REPUBLICANS'.
Don't matter nothin'. Everbody knows if Ted Cruz had been livin' in 1850, his slaves wudda bin pickin' cotton. (/sarc)
When it comes to race issues, the Republicans are the descendants of Booker T. Washington, the Democrats the descendants of W.E.B. DuBois. As far as the LSM is concerned, there is only one side to the race issue, the DuBois side; everyone else is either racist or Uncle Tom. And I'll bet today's salary that 80% of the LSM couldn't tell you who either men was anyway.
What a bunch of pathetic losers the GOP has become. I am from New York and I the Confederate flag should just be left alone. What a ridiculous waste of time!
When will the Mexican flag and the Gay flag be banned?
I am offended by both.
The two wings of the Uniparty can debate the nuances of tyranny without my participation.
Pavlov’s dog lives..
GOP = Gutless Old Party
Dear Republican party,
I sure hope your new black voters make up for folks like me that are saying, Good Bye.
I am sure, I and others like me will not be missed.
