I'm surprised many Repubs aren't going with the "State's rights" or "It's about history" arguments and are just saying to pull the flag. Next on the list will be to have Mississippi's flag changed.
If you understood politics, you wouldn't be surprised. 9 blacks were targeted for execution by a racist psycho. Just so happens he was sporting the Confederate Flag, which has been a hot button issue for years, in several photos/on his car. The NAACP knew this was the time to strike so they did. No one in their right political mind will say "No, it's a piece of heritage."
The whole "pull the flag down" thing is dumb and not worth fighting. It had absolutely nothing to do with some insane murderer killing people.
