QUOTE UNION VALE, New York (AP) -- Vice President Dick Cheney spent about eight hours hunting Monday at a secluded Hudson Valley gun club where well-heeled enthusiasts shoot ducks and pheasants. It was Cheney's second visit to Clove Valley Rod & Gun Club in Dutchess County, about 70 miles north of New York City. The previous trip was in fall 2001. Although a heavy police presence kept the media and curious local residents at a distance, Cheney's visit did stir up a bit of controversy when a New York Daily News photographer snapped a picture of a small Confederate flag hanging inside a garage on the hunt club property. The photo was shown to New York City civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton, who issued a statement demanding that the vice president "leave immediately, denounce the club and apologize for going to a club that represents lynching, hate and murder to black people." Sharpton's statement was issued hours after Cheney departed the club at 3:45 p.m. for a flight out of the Stewart Air National Guard Base. In a statement issued Monday evening, Cheney spokeswoman Megan Mitchell said neither Cheney nor anyone on his staff saw such a flag at the hunt club. It's not clear whether the door of the garage that contained the flag was even open at the time the vice president was in the area. whoa whoa whoa...first of all it's just some flag in the garage. second, so now the confederate flag purely stands for lynching, hate, and murder to black people? i myself don't have a confederate flag...but c'mon now. that's ridiculous. of course, what else do you expect from al sharpton? --------------------  |

al sharpton is an idiot, but what the confederate flag stands for is pure stupidity too.
it's not like dick should've left just because someone had a flag though. like i said in the other thread it's still just fabric. -------------------- Don't sweat the petty, pet the sweaty.

The confederate flag represents the south which lost the civil war. The south was for slavery... so many think the flag just represents wanting slavery.
Its a symbol, and when symbols get a negative conotation they stay that way. The nazi flag used a symbol (well backwards) of something that was previously good. Now its obviously a symbol of hate. But yeah its sharpton.... if there is a more hypocritical racist out there, someone please show me. -------------------- |
