Thiessen Says White Liberals Have Made The Confederate Flag Racist
Marc Thiessen, a former speech writer for Bush 43, weighed in on the cancellation of The Dukes of Hazzard on TV Land. It's not at all surprising that he was as outraged as every other racist on the Right about the call to take down that flag. What distinguished this particular tirade from the others you may have heard, is to whom he allocated the blame for this whole Confederate flag fiasco.
White liberals from big cities like N.Y.C. and California were the ones labeling this flag, that absolutely stands for 'States' Rights' to own slaves, as something offensive.
