Reply #9: Did you read the whole thread?

It'll give you a snapshot of the racists/ignoramuses we have here at DU, some of whom have been here a long time. Those longtime freeps have lasted because they are very clever to hide their racism and hatred toward liberals in general. They take neutral positions in a clever way to discredit well-meaning folks that may not be as verbose or lack certain rhetorical skills.

The confederate battle flag is a symbol of pure hate that is tied directly to the American Holocaust. I'm never going to let DUers forget this. EVER. Anytime I see a thread about it, I will challenge the so-called "Southern Heritage" supporters. One of those trolls started a thread showing the Klan with U.S. flags, thinking he was so smart. He and his thread was laid to rest very quickly. ;)
