    Are you saying CNN wasn't trying to imply a non confederate flag was actually a confederate flag? CNN knows their audience are nothing more than low info, low IQ headline readers.

    That's an ignorant assessment of what I said.

    I asked, "Are YOU going to accept his apology and move on? Water under the bridge and all that?"

    Are YOU?

    They were certainly traitors. The fact that so many were willing to die to preserve and extend the institution of slavery is not something I can admire. Better people would have been ashamed to fight so hard for such a cause. I despise the CSA and everything it stood for.

    They were warned about the outcome in detail by one of their heroes and a slave owner.

    "Who are the men that are circulating these reports, and taking the lead in throwing the country into confusion? Are they the strong slave-holders of the country? No; examine the matter and it will be found that by far the large majority of them never owned a negro, and never will own one. I know some of them who are making the most fuss, who would not make good negroes if they were blacked. And these are the men who are carrying on practical abolitionism, by taking up planters’ negroes and hanging them. They are the gentlemen who belong to the duelling family that don’t fight with knives, but choose something that can be dodged. Some of them deserve a worse fate than Senator Wigfall would visit on me; and, sooner or later, when the people find out their schemes, they will get it."
    \Sam Houston's Anti-Secession Speech, 9/22/1860.

    Are saying that the representative is a white racist who wore the mask to express support for the CSA?

    The party of Lincoln clinging to the confederacy.

    How far this party has fallen.

    Ah yes. Typical platitude

    That is also called hypocrisy but you can call it trolling if you like.

    Good point.

    This Zorn (A TOP REPUBLICAN) seems to be quite enamored with this symbol of oppression.

    People should've expected more from Zorn.

    Zorn = The FACE of the GOP.

    What was he thinking?:smh:

    The USA ended it and the CSA fought to keep it.

    I accept his apology, but then again, I'm not a voter in the 17th Senate District of Michigan...

    Yet another November race to watch..

    If a State Senator in YOUR district did this dastardly deed and then apologizes for it, would that be a compelling factor in your vote decision, a thing to consider in your vote decision, or no factor at all in your vote decision?

    Simple question. (Multiple choice even.)

    Figures.

    That's 'cuz your a liberal.

    If a liberal did a similar dastardly deed and apologized, you and your ilk would expect him/her to be forgiven and the deed forgotten. Water under the bridge and all that.

    Conservatives NEVER get that same consideration from the likes of you and your ilk.

    Scientific fact---

    A dog extracts more information from smelling a pile of **** than a human does from watching CNN.

    Wrong... if a liberal did something that stupid, he'd probably resign from shame...

    But if he didn't, he or she would probably still get my vote if they opposed a Trump supporting conservative...

    Because there's a whole next level of stupid...

    Like Virginia gubernor Northam did?
    It wouldn't matter if Trump was in the picture or not.

    As long as someone running for any partisan election, all that matters is if they have a (D) next to their name for you and your ilk to vote for them.
    Something we agree on as what drives your vote is up there on a whole new level.

    That's what TDS does.

    It doesn't matter how filthy and scummy they are.

    As long as you get the "D" in, that's all that matters.

    Thanks for proving my point.
