    It’s been amusing, if depressing, to watch the GOP’s proposed “leaders” fumbling and grasping and floundering on this one. The right side of history is clear to anyone with a working moral sense, but that’s not good enough: we’re talking about the Republican base here. Now that Nikki Haley (good on her!) has lead the way, they’re all jumping on board. Now they’ll have to choose her as veep just to pretend that they supported taking down the flag when it was a hard thing to do.

    This country has become too PC! Way too PC! The Confederate Flag is a part of history. To dishonor it seems to me, dishonors those who fought and died in that war, which was NOT ALL ABOUT SLAVERY! In part, yes, but not all. Taking down that flag dishonors the families/ancestors of those who fought in that war.

    And to say that whack job did all those hateful disgusting actions in that church was because of the Confederate Flag is total BS!

    There can’t just be mean, hateful, evil people out there just because they are just that. Now it is all about PC. Look at all the evil done over the centuries, when there was NO INTERNET, NO PC, NO MEDIA of any sort. Some people are just inherently SICK, EVIL OR WHATEVER! They DON’T NEED A REASON, THEY JUST ARE!

    I bring this up since Roof referred to South Africa in his ‘manifesto’. Apartheid is pronounced, in Afrikaans, to an English ear: "Er-pahrrt-Hate “

    I have no idea why the British & Americans latched onto ”Aparthide"; they should have emphasised the “-hate” part.
