The fact that he's waving a confederate flag in front of the White House is bad enough, but he's also waving it in front of a BLACK man and his family, and that black man happens to be President. It's disrespectful.
Next, he's also holding a Marine Corps flag. What is the message? I certainly hope this guy isn't an ex-marine because he's an idiot. Didn't the US Marine Corps fight against the confederacy?
Regardless of this guy, the worst were actual US senators like Ted Cruz, Michelle Bachman and dipstick Sarah Palin taking part in this protest. Don't any of these people realize what the confederate flag means?
In the 2008 election, John McCain started to realize that the racist and hateful banter from crods was starting to get out of control in this speech:
I don't like McCain much but this was exactly the right thing to do. Even if you disagreed with his politics at this point, he at least showed that he was a fair player that wouldn't troll for the lowest common denominators for applause. Palin, Cruz, Bachman and the others should really learn to follow McCain on this.
