What's next?
Confederate memorials in front of court houses.
Seems like everything and everyone is to blame but the one who actually does the crime. I am not defending the flag but what will they blame next time.
Neither did a swastika. Should we keep flying that too?The flag never killed anyone. Just because some whack job has a confederate flag does not mean the flag is some symbol of hate. What if he had a Clemson sticker on his car? Would that mean we should get rid of all Clemson stickers?

I join Gov. Haley and other South Carolina leaders in calling for the removal of the Confederate battle flag from the State House grounds.

I agree with Gov Haley and Clemson President Jim Clements @ClemsonPrez that it is time to take down the Confederate Flag. #TakeDownTheFlag
Nobody is blaming the flag for the murder of those 9 people.
She can't run again. Constitution, you know.This is ridiculous. She is wanting to be re elected plain and simple. The flag splits race no more than the NAACP. If people want to break race barriers they need to work on both sides.

Props to Haley. Should have come down a long time ago. Put it in a museum.
I disagree that it doesn't spew hate. The fact that most white supremacist and racist groups use it to identify with is enough for me. I understand the history of it, and I respect that.
Honestly I have forgotten about it.
Take the flag away.

Same here. Born in Augusta, GA. Southerner all the way - but, seeing momentum gathering to have it removed doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Yes they are. They have blamed the flag, guns and foxnews so far.
Confederate memorials period
Ok guy. But enslaving a whole race of people was just a walk in the park. Thanks for educating meComparing the Confederate Flag to one of a regime that brutally murdered millions of people is ignorant.
You make good points. But this is a long time coming. Doesn't belong where it is.Still not sure where I stand on this issue, because I feel drawn to both sides of the debate. But I wholeheartedly disagree that these decisions should be made during such an emotional time. It is similar to when everyone wanted gun bans in the days after Sandy Hook.
Seriously, for those of you that believe the flag is purely a symbol of our Southern Heritage - would you go out today and fly a confederate flag in front of your business? Of course not, because you know exactly what that flag says and represents. As far as the flag at the State House, I would support it if it were put up anywhere near the end of the Civil War. But it was not. It was put up there during the Civil Rights Movement and it is a clear sign of division, racism and hatred. That is what makes it different from other Confederate Memorials or streets like Wade Hampton Blvd.
Seriously man? Grow up.What's next, people are going to be able to marry their dogs???
