Suggested follow-up question:
"If its a symbol of your Heritage, which I assume has nothing to do with racism, did you voice your concern when KKK members carried that flag in their rallies?"

yellow bellied meth mouthed knuckle dragging idiot.
Incomprehensible the total ignorance and utter stu-
pidity of these pieces of excrement. Lower than snail
snit. That fool probably doesn’t know what the stars
and bar rag represents.

I'm sorry Dip Wad but sometimes refusing to answer the question answers the question.

question was being asked to NRA convention goers.

Then when I saw the video it was essentially the same moron I had pictured in my mind.

Today's official republican position - Lincoln was our nation's greatest leader

From the 2004 GOP Platform - (I have not seen them change it.)

"One hundred and fifty years ago, Americans who had gathered to
protest the expansion of slavery gave birth to a political Party that
would save the Union - the Republican Party.

In 1860, Abraham Lincoln of Illinois carried the Republican banner
in the Presidential election and was elected the Party's first
President. He became our nation's greatest leader … and one of our
Party's greatest heroes. "

Many of today's republicans, especially Southern Heritage types, do not like the truth.

It’s a simple question with a simple answer.
I wish the interviewer would have asked him why he was afraid to answer the question, rather than just repeating it.

There are still people who are pro-slavery! Or, the paranoid Republican lunatic thought it was a trick question.

I merely dismissed these folks as being dumb, stupid, ignorant and left it at that. No malice on their part, just steeped in some worthless tradition. They were probably good parents, worked hard to put food on their family, and in the main were not worth spending time on. Live and let live, and as long as I didn't have to associate with them then no harm done.

Not any more. These are rancid, disgusting, and ultimately dangerous reich-wing white trash hillbillies who present an existential danger to our democracy. They have to be dealt with.
