Well Mr. PC Policeman did it ever occur to you that there are also many Americans who don't? When Mr. Cowing can walk the space walk instead of sitting on the sideline talking the space talk then he can decide what flag he'd like to carry on the space station.

Something funny about this whole story. Maybe it's the collection of names involved.

They'll never make me ashamed of Dixie. There aren't enough Yankees on the planet for that.

The Rebel flag uproar is so much hot air. Good God, doesn't anyone work for a living anymore... so much free time, so little common sense.

The Rebel flag uproar is so much hot air.Some Texans complain about people parading around with a Mexican Flag. Its as legitimate here, as the Rebel flag.

You'd think that someone on the U.S. side of the ISS program would have expressed some concern about flying a symbol on the ISS that many Americans associate with slavery, Cowing wrote. You'd think that someone wouldn't give a rat's ass about something so petty.

Anyone who is offended by a flag has a severe self-confidence issue, plain and simple.

Not all of us want to make you ashamed. In fact, I'm not sure your problem is as much with Yankees as it is liberals from all over.

Editor's 13 June 6:40 pm EDT update: I just spoke with Alex Panchenko, the person who posted this item on eBay. Panchenko called to tell me that he had spoken with Salizhan Sharipov today and that Sharipov knew absolutely nothing about these flags. Panchenko told me that his source for these flags was a third party and not Sharipov. As such he is now convinced that these flags are not what they were presented as being and that they are forgeries.

,,,,so much free time, so little common sense. The Confederate Air Force changed its name to the Commemorative Air Force a few years ago.
The Confederate Space Station has a nice ring to it.

Yeah! I bet some people would get all snippy if someone decided to take Nazi flags into space too! Damned fascists won't let anybody have any fun!

Well, we know flying the mexican flag won't get you deported in every city in america. Funny how we aren't so sure about the Confederate flag.

It is an insult to compare the Confederate flag with the flag of Nazi Germany.
