In what I can only guess passes on the leftosphere as a cutting edge idea these days, the Pacific Northwest’s own Jesus’ General is promoting September 12th as “Burn the Confederate Flag Day”
Burn the Confederate Flag Day is a protest against the right’s exploitation of racial prejudice for political gain. Â We urge you to burn the Confederate flag, a long-time symbol of racial hatred, on Sept 12, the date when the racially-divisive Tea Party holds its annual hate fest.
I guess that burning an American flag is now passe’.
Or maybe, now that Obama is President, its “racist”.
If they were planning on burning up the actual quasi-official flag of the Tea Party, The Gadsen, then I might get a tad worked up. But this idea is just covered in teh stoopid.
This idea is completely designed to elicit an over-reaction from the occasional redneck, that’s all. Around these parts, there are few to rise to that bait, but I’d like to see this fudge-packer try to get away with this in, say, Bogalusa, LA…If he’s a Wonderful Satirist, then my name must be Mark Twain.
Ah well, he doesn’t even have the ‘nads to actually stand up and make the suggestion in front of folks who might react, he’s just blogging it.
If I caught somebody burning the 3rd National, I might kick his ass.
