The Confederate flag is a symbol of heritage & there are hundreds of thousands of us that are descended (including thousands of blacks) from Confederate soldiers (yes, blacks served in the Confederacy). Flying the Confederate flag is in NO WAY even remotely close to the anti-American, anti-white, hateful words of Jeremiah Wright. U.S. history may not be all roses & sunshine, but it is, nonetheless, OUR history. I'm tired of people trying to forbid or erase parts of our heritage & history. Our ancestors were imperfect, sinful people just like WE are, but our ancestors are still human beings who worked, struggled, lived, & died and they are ALL worthy to be remembered. Confederate "Junk" = Heritage & Pride! The Confederate flag does not represent hate.

Apparently it is now the norm to attack your opponent from a distance to avoid getting any of the mud on your person no matter who's slinging it.

Its a pathetic pandering to the black vote. But no doubt they'll go for it.

It's a part of history. So we should ban all books on Robert E. Lee or Thomas Jefferson etc...? You are talking about apples and oranges here. Jeremiah Wright is a completely different story. No comparison. Another diversion tactic by the democrats to try and throw the stink off them onto someone else. Anyone else, especially a Republican.
