And we're up in arms about a guy with a confederate flag? How disingenuous of the left. My God, someone carrys a sign saying "**** the Troops" and conservatives go crazy. The left's response? Why, he's just exercising his free speech. He doesn't represent all of us. But the guy with the confederate flag? Why of course, HE represents ALL conservatives.
You have got to STOP being so blatantly hypocritical. If a guy with a confederate battle flag represents ALL conservatives, then a guy with a "**** THE TROOPS" sign at an OWS rally, represents ALL of the left.
Occassionally, you show signs of honest integrity in your posts and during those times I feel that we could honestly debate the issues and actually learn from one another. This is not one of them. This is something that rdean or black flag comes up with.
By the way, when I was very young and my grandmother was still alive (early 60's), there was a rule in her house (she lived in Emporia, Kansas). You don't talk about, you don't bring up, and you never consort with Missouri bushwhackers. Doing so was an offense of the worst sort. Her grand father had a farm in eastern Kansas. When her father and his brothers and sisters were very young, a group of bush whackers came by and almost beat their father to death, simply because he was a Kansas Jayhawker. He lost the sight in one eye and his leg never healed right. They had to take over the chores on the farm. Having said this, you never know what history someone has or why someone does what they do.
Regardless of why, the man with the flag has the RIGHT to free speech. YOU do not have the ability to silence that speech. And if anything, you should follow the lefts stance that Barry's time with the wonderful Reverend Jeremiah Wright does not taint Barry because we are NOT defined by who we keep company with. Or does Bill Ayers now matter?
