A few protesters waving large Confederate battle flags greeted President Obama as he arrived at his hotel in Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Local media reported that Confederate flag supporters also staged an event at an earlier Obama stop in Durant, Okla.

Obama has criticized the flag as a symbol of hate and applauded South Carolina's decision to remove it from the State House grounds after nine African Americans were killed at a church in Charleston.

it is absurd to claim that the millions of people with confederate flags on their bumpers and coffee cups are haters.

then they should issue a regulation banning that.

And while they are at it, change the names of all the facilities named for Confederate Generals.

Welfare conservatives in the middle of the day decide to show up and prove they are as ignorant as we assumed they were. Then it gets applauded here.

Is this news to anyone?

Works for me. The Confederate Flag should be treated like a Swastika flag.

Yes, it should. We need to replace every confederate memorial with a monument to the victims of slavery.
