Sorry bubba, but those pushing the social engineering project are about 20 percent of the population.

You're not winning right now and by turning into this aggressive wounded animal you won't be winning for awhile. It's the total opposite of outreach.

You remember how after the Travon Martin verdict there were multiple threads daily about instances of "reverse racism" where black thugs perpetrated crimes against white people, many times with the appearance of "just because they were white". Remember how the liberals on here got sick of the pounding of the "reverse racism' drum? Well, that only lasted about 3 weeks - how do you think people (people from the south in particular) feel to get this bullsh!t thrown at them every day - 365 days a year.

We're not talking crimes and beatings/stabbings/shootings here - we're talking 1 person waving a confederate flag. Somehow that is equivalent to all the crap that goes on the other way.

It gets old because mostly it's not warranted, but it's become the Left's mantra as a way to keep a certain constituency in the fold.

What the majority of conservatives want is to be left alone and stay out of my pocket..........and because they won't willingly give up even more of their money - the liberal jackasses vilify them with horsesh!t.

Do you not understand how polls work? If you really think only 28% of the country approves of the GOP then.......nevermind, you ARE a liberal.

Wait. What? First you think that a few people waving a Confederate Flag at the white house stirs up 25% of the population. Wrong. Then you try to prove your point by saying that 28% identify as Republican assuming all Republicans identify with the Confederacy. Fail. I'm not offended by that flag but I can see how some sensitive ethnic groups could be. The flag being waved at the white house means nothing to me or most Americans both right and left. You're actually starting to believe this crap you type. Too funny.

Positive Rep me and I'll vote for Obama in 2016

The problem with the state of race relations is that it has been used as a political cattle prod for so long that people are getting numb to real instances of racism, which can and do still happen.

I definitely think there is a problem waving the confederate flag in front of the White House with the first black president in there. Incredibly short sighted. In my opinion, terrible image.

I definitely think there is a problem with slimy liberals denigrating our national heroes. Planting people with rebel flags and using the media to attack our war vets is about as low as it gets. Karma is a muthafucker.

Fact is, I agree.

fact is that guy was a plant. The left has been doing this with right leaning groups since the media has been active in this country.

People want to secede because he's f*cked this country up so bad. Waving a Confederate Flag means nothing more than "Hey, we did it once, lets do it again!"

Had the yankees not been so butthurt over the South seceding then we never would have had to waste half a million lives and people could have lived in the region they best supported. It's all about state rights and I wholeheartedly support it.

Please. Wake up. How about a little verification on the tea party member who supposedly spit on that black congressman and called him the N word.

In fact, there is still a reward for anyone who can verify that.

There is a long and rich tradition of political plants at media covered events. Truth.

You mean you never heard about those libs who were paid off to sign up as tea partiers at the rallies and wave around racist poster board messages? A few of them felt so bad about it that they came out and admitted to what they did and who paid them...

Liberals were all over those Tea Party rallies holding up deliberately misspelled signs with racist epithets. It works so well because the majority of Americans are still under the impression that everything they see on TV is an accurate depiction of reality. This ties right into "should the media be regulated" thread. No. People need to wise the hell up. The left is winning at the moment because too many Rubes and nincompoops are oblivious to their underhanded tactics.

Are people that incredibly tone deaf not to see the image of the confederate flag being waved in front of the White House is not helpful? I know it's red meat stuff. It appeals to the 25% of the population that is your base, but to the rest of the country? It looks like the GOP wants to take us back to 1861. Is that forward looking? Is that a party or movement on the rise? Remember that Republican Autopsy we posted on a year back. What image do you think the GOP is projecting. Do you think any of this looks like outreach?

Mach, for many people the Confederate is just a symbol of the South and nothing more. For others, the flag represents racism because that's what they're being taught by the generation of people before them who somehow see racism. Just because one group objects to something doesn't mean there's racism involved.

What ever happened to not having a right to not be offended?

They cannot get their agenda passed on merit, so they spend 99 percent of their time tarnishing the image of their opposition while creating a problem that does not exist.

You can hear it working when people repeat the very false messages they generate.

Just like OWS was a group of useful idiots used to create the class divide. Income "fairness" and the "1 percent" is now a permanent discussion in the media. It's used to push tax increases designed to grow govt. People are slowing starting to buy their BS narrative. It takes time and diligence, but they are slowly transforming the country. All because people are too preoccupied and self centered, and too ignorant to recognize what is happening.
