Ted Rall for January 15, 2000
Transcript:
You thought it was settled at appomattox, but the confederacy is back! It all started when republican presidential candidates came out in favor of flying the stars-and-bars atop the South Carolina State House. (George Q Bush: It's up to them!) (Steve Forbes: Yee ha!) (John McCain: My ancestors fought for the south and she will rise again!) Then even the democrats refused to condemn the flag as an evil symbol of racism and slavery! (Man: I support the right of the people of South Carolina to remove the confederate flag.) Your politicians: so desperate to win that they'll suck up to defeated, bigoted traitors. (Man 2: It's part of the south's heritage, not a racial thing.) (Man 3: I'm staying home this November) Coming: Clinton apologizes for Sherman's March.
