Why are we more concerned about somebody flying a Confederate flag than we are about others burning the US Flag? Have we just lost focus?

Are you speaking of the shooter Dylann Roof who walked into a church and killed nine innocent people because of the color of their skin, who were doing nothing more than studying the bible? Roof did both, flew the confederate flag and burned the US flag.

I believe we will find that Roof suffers from serious mental illness plus he may have also been self medicating. I wouldn't attempt to draw any conclusion other than mentally ill people need to be identified by family and friends and action taken.

What will you do when they (whom ever they my be) come after the American flag. Keep reciting the Allegiance to the American flag . My God help us all

Me thinks that many posters really do not understand the reason why this flag needs to be sent to sent into a museum.

Yes, during the Civil War this flag was the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia. But after the war these flags were put away. Even the Great Robert E Lee was against the flying of this flag.

These flags were not seen in public again until the day that the Gov of the State of Alabama George Wallace stood in the school house door to deny 2 black students entrance into the University of Alabama on June 11, 1963.

On that same day the confederate flag began to fly over the state capitol.

This flag is NOT about heritage but of hate….

No one is coming after the America flag it is ridiculous to think that…just a false comparison on some right wing website or news outlet.

How's this for a popular bumper sticker displayed south of the mason-dixon line.. "Forget, Hell!"
We have freedom of speech under the Constitution. It's OK to show your anger. If only life was like what it was in the fifties when everyone knew their place. Separate, but equal...almost.

BS! Farrakahn and Sharpton have already made overtures that there has been more suffering under the American flag than any other symbol.
You are entitled to your opinion but these slugs have now had a taste of success and they will come after the American flag.

I hope they do. Maybe that will be the trigger nedded to get the other 80% of us Americans who are ready to shut down and put the racists and special interest group in their place.....the minority.

Sick and tired of the new today BS being smoked by some.

I have more faith in the American system than you do so we shall see what we shall see. We'll talk again when the American flag is attacked by the left wing!

Obama has done more to divide the country than any other person. Why is he not saying anything about all the historical monuments being defaced with "Black lives matter".

My guess is, you have to care first. This President seems not so much to care about our country as he does about designated special interest groups. It's kind of like having a boss who doesn't care about the company as a whole and chooses instead to spend his time stroking the likes of his "pet" employees. So much for a REAL leader. We can only hope that the majority has realized from all of this that what we need is someone who can lead and who loves this country when we go to vote the next time.

Speaking of flags.......

Don't bother.....the monuments were CONFEDERATE!!!! Nice try.....

In SC, there was a pro-confederate flag rally. Amazing looking people attended as shown in USA Today online. Potbellyed, snaggle toothed, and dribbles of chewing tobacco.

No doubt all were advocates of the Tea Party or KKK beliefs.
