It turns the table on us, goody two shoes liberals whose hearts are bleeding for minorities, women and gays. Them wingnuts (who are cool and fun) advance the irreverent "PI" - which entitles them to get away with racism comments and thugish behavior all around. I must say, it was a brilliant move! DU-ers are now using their memes and don't even know they are poshing their agenda.
As for me, there is no candidate great enough to make me embrace the confederate flag to defend him. While ABB still applies, I would never turn my most dear principles inside out just cuz I committed to someone's campaign.
Most posters on this thread remind me of Phil Ochs' "Love me, I am a liberal".The moment it conflicts with your immediate agenda, all the beliefs in equality and respect evaporate. Very sad!
And just to make it clear: I don't consider Dean a racist and I got his point. But for him to use the confederate flag in a quest for unity is as dumb as for bush to say "I admire Lincoln because he united us"
How attached can he be to his figure of speech to not take it back? I think monstruous insensitivity is a fair assesment. Of course, it comes from a PC liberal, so feel free to discount it.
