FDR knowingly put a Klansman on SCOTUS, when do we take down everything FDR?
The statues desecrated by ISIS, whatever they were, weren't put up by ISIS; the democratically elected authority decided the statue's fate; the statue was put in storage. Three differences at least that I can see.How does this differ from ISIS desecrating statues that they don't like?

They could move that statue to my house. Apparently it's copper.
You know what? There's a damn big difference between a statue of Roger Taney in Maryland and Robert E. Lee in Virginia.
Robert E. Lee gave his all for Virginia, taking a statue of him down is a damn shame.

YOu mean he led a war that caused Virginia to be devastated for no good reason.
You see, if Lee really loved his state, he would have said, "Look y'all, the North dun-der has more factories, and railroads, and manpower and ships than we all have, and we be dun-der fighting for a truly repugnant cause that most of the world will have contempt for us for...and we are gonna dun-der get our asses taken out to the back of the outhouse and spanked."
But the dumb fuck didn't do that. Instead he went out and fought for slavery and Jesus and got his ass kicked.

As always, seriously, without exception, you are wrong.
Yes, Lee led the Virginia army against Northern invaders. Virginia was invaded before Lee joined the war effort, and his loyalty was to Virginia first and foremost. If the Union army had taken a different path south, Lee would never have been involved in the Civil War.

Virginia was in illegal rebellion. His duty as an army officer was to serve the union, not his state.
Lee was a traitor. You don't give traitors a statue because they felt they were justified.
Why not a statue to the Rosenbergs? They felt that the US couldn't be trusted with a monopoly on nukes because we'd probably abuse it.
Why not a statue to Snowden? Or Chelsea Manning? They thought they were right?
Shit, why not put up statues to Benedict Arnold? He won the battle at Saratoga!
Interesting take on it. Does your narrative fit this history?Yes, Lee led the Virginia army against Northern invaders. Virginia was invaded before Lee joined the war effort, and his loyalty was to Virginia first and foremost. If the Union army had taken a different path south, Lee would never have been involved in the Civil War.
But celebrating and glorifying in statue those who led the fight to preserve and extend slavery defines the South.Slavery does not define what America is.
You are truly a ridiculous moron, have I told you that lately?

Your concession is duly noted. So when are we putting up that statue to Chelsea Manning?
