Hillary Clinton calls for Confederate Flag to be removed from Statehouse grounds

[MJMANDALAY]

ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday that South Carolina should remove the Confederate flag from its Statehouse grounds, in part because the nation should unite under one banner while at war.

"I think about how many South Carolinians have served in our military and who are serving today under our flag and I believe that we should have one flag that we all pay honor to, as I know that most people in South Carolina do every single day,'' Clinton told The Associated Press in an interview.

"I personally would like to see it removed from the Statehouse grounds,'' the New York senator said during her first trip to the early voting state since announcing her White House bid.

Other Democratic hopefuls, including Sens. Joe Biden and Chris Dodd, have said the flag should come down. The banner, which once flew over the Statehouse dome and now flies nearby, is the subject of an ongoing NAACP boycott.

Clinton is one of several Democrats to draw huge crowds during campaign stops in the state, but she said during the interview that her party will have a tough time winning in GOP-heavy South Carolina.

"I think it's going to be hard for any Democrat to carry the state,'' she said. "The Republican Party is very strong here.''

Earlier in the day, Clinton spoke to more than 1,500 people gathered at Allen University, a historically black college in Columbia.

The senator picked up key endorsements last week from two black state senators who helped deliver black voters to former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards in 2004. One of those politicians, state Sen. Darrell Jackson, whose media company also picked up a $10,000 consulting contract from Clinton's campaign, introduced her to the Allen University crowd.

During the AP interview, Clinton said her campaign struck no deal with Jackson. "Senator Jackson has worked in Clinton campaigns going back to 1992,'' she said.

[Sct Ptersns Twn]

[Spoondini]

[Razor Roman]

President Guiliani anyone?

[Begbie]

She'll play them up by showing up at some Nascar event with a Dale Earnhardt Jr. hat...as she had done at the Yankees game during the senate elections.

[THE FEZ MAN]

shut up cunt

[Cromwell]

I call for this cunt to be removed from the American public eye

[abudabit]

President Guiliani anyone?

Sounds good to me. He's the least likely to push his personal views on everyone. He's a technocrat asshole nerd and I love him for it.

[DanaReevesLungs]

Take on some real issues you whore! I hope her daughter is ra ped by a mongrel of numerous ethnic backgrounds.

[Sinn Fein]

Now come on guys, it's not like she's blatantly doing this to try and curry favor with the coloreds.

[thrawn42]

Yes, this is the way to win states. Directly insult their local culture and traditions. Make their history seem illegitimate.

I hope this dumb, carpetbagging cunt continues to run her campaign in this manner.

[DanaReevesLungs]

Her uphill battle just got a bit more inclined.

[Myhairygrundle]

I call for all cunts with fat ankles to be banned....the people demand it!

Clinton had a Confederate flag-like issue of his own. Arkansas Code Annotated, Section 1-5-107, provides as follows:

(a) The Saturday immediately preceding Easter Sunday of each year is designated as 'Confederate Flag Day' in this state.

(b) No person, firm, or corporation shall display an Confederate flag or replica thereof in connection with any advertisement of any commercial enterprise, or in any manner for any purpose except to honor the Confederate States of America. [Emphasis added.]

(c) Any person, firm, or corporation violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined not less than one hundred dollars ($100) nor more than one thousand dollars ($1,000).

Clinton took no steps during his twelve years as governor to repeal this law. And we know why, don't we? He didn't want to offend certain of his constituents.

They all want your guns. People need to stop fooling themselves that one party or the other have different agendas. They just go about it differently. They all suck.

Displaying the confederate flag means that you are a traitor to America and should be put in prison. The south lost, enjoy the eternal occupation.
