Good one! A Belt Handout program should be instigated at Christmas, along with Toys for Tots. No more icky sightings of underwear and butt cracks!

This is the South people. If you dont like it then I suggest you leave and go back up north I dont think we would miss you.

Ban the confederate flag= Ban MLK Jr. day!
Ban the confederate flag= Ban Black History month
Ban the Confederate flag= Ban Civil Rights

You Liberal, Yankee, Ignorant fools, yall have pissed us off once, dont u dare wake this sleeping dog!!!!

Hey Darcel, got a lil history lesson for ya. The same "American Flag" that you pledge alegiance to theis very day, is the same one that supported and funded slavery for over 300 years!!! Get your facts straight and know your history before you open you biased ignoarant piehole! have a good and confused day =)

Sorry, the Battle flag will be flying,along with the US Flag, when all in these conversations are long gone. Stonewall

Darcel lover, the confedrate battle flag will forever wave over the proud southland. no amount of rhetoric or stuipid comments based on ignorant book learning and factual inaccuracies as far as what it had to to slavery as compared to the US flag will cause it to fall. i am ashamed of the southern legislatures who had to meet in the dark of night and not even in public where everyone could see as in GA who changed state flags to satisfy some asshole minority activists who complained. I am with the ones who say if you do not love the south leave it. do the south a favor, teach a yankee to drive and point him or her north. we will never forget the illegal invasion of the southland which had legally seceded from the US (look up your facts and get them right) and the 650,000 men women and children who were killed by the illegal occuipation force sent by crooked abe. deo vindice and long live Dixie.

You are a racist!

Looking in the mirror I see.

Folks did you know that Adolph Hitler stated once who the man he revered the most as a leader was. Abraham Lincoln. who illegally led the US in an invasion of the Southland. Also who was the first or at least the most prominent to advocate gun control as many liberals do today. Adolph Hitler. folks who advocate gun control have some strange bedfellows indeed. in any event the confederate battle flag is here to stay and i feel about it the way i do about my guns. they can tatke it from my cold dead fingers. that is the only way they will get it. mark my words. deo vindice.

by the way if you did not know, the only gun control i believe in is t wo hands on a 357 magnum pointed at some scumbag trying to harm me and my own. they would not have to worry about facing a jury or a costly court trial. i can damn sure guarantee that.

What kind of idiotic question is this?How do you BAN any flag,icon,symbol etc.?Who decides what is acceptable and what is not?The media?Oh hell no we damned sure don't let that crowd dictate what we will and will not display.The Confederate Battleflag is simply a military ensign carried by Southern Soldiers during the War Between the States.While it is often hijacked by some of the baser elements of our society it is the property of some of our finest patriots.

How ironic that a media outlet should pose such an idiotic question.You people defend the 1st amendment at all costs going so far as to use it to defend pornography,lies,and slanted reporting then suggest that a symbol,icon you don't like should be banned.This reflects on the management of your station.
