    What don't I know? That's NOT McConnell?? Was he actually a woman back in the 90's?

    I know all the history you know and then some...

    Let me get this straight. The Left wants perfectly sinless individuals to run government but they better not be religious. Well isn't that special.

    That's a hoot. The two images aren't equivalent. That's the power of propaganda though. Progressives are conditioned to make a bunch of assumptions about the confederate flag, and anyone who can be linked to it, regardless of context.

    The timing of this outrage isn't coincidental, obviously.

    The Confederate flag is the flag of treason which caused the murder of over 600,000 Americans in the 1860s. Anyone who honors it is a traitor. In the past the hanging tree was used against traitors. No reason why it should be used today.

    By that idiocy anyone who stands in front off the British flag should be removed from office.

    Seriously, did you even think or was it just pure emotion to make such a laughable blunder?

    Let me guess, you want to pull a Taliban and start blowing up history as well.

    and he is accepting an award from a group that honors treason and secession - but, as usual, that's ok for America haters on the far right

    Do you have a problem with the Sons Of Confederate Veterans historical organization?

    And you said 600,000 "Americans" murdered in the 1860's.

    Almost half of that number were southern soldiers.

    you right wingers all claim to be ''pro life'' - on that basis you should be the first ones to condemn a group that honors treason which results in the needless deaths of Americans

    McConnell is a traitor as is those who defend his treason

    correction - I addressed what appears on that photo - you did not

    he was given an award by a group that honors TREASON

    what is your answer to that truth?

    the OP never mentioned treason nor did the link so way to prove you have no idea what the argument was. So typical. :)

    Its clear you didn't read the OP which claimed posing in front of the flag is an endorsement of racism despite history showing the US offered the south an amendment to keep slavery in their states and they still broke away.

    Your inability to read the OP or understand history and replace it with emotional outbursts is just sad.

    You you are OK with him allowing himself to be honored by a group that honors treason.

    As a right winger, your support of treason comes as no surprise. Thanks for validating my point.

    There is no honest comparison. The Confederate states broke with the Union for the primary purpose of preserving slavery. It was their cornerstone. I don't think most modern people who fly the Confederate battle flag do so out of racism, but that's indeed what the Confederacy originally stood for.
