This is a photo from Confederate Flag Day in Arkansas…

State Capital in Little Rock, Arkansas, April 15, 2006.

In 2007, Hillary Clinton argued that South Carolina should remove the Confederate Flag from its statehouse grounds:

“I think about how many South Carolinians have served in our military and who are serving today under our flag and I believe that we should have one flag that we all pay honor to, as I know that most people in South Carolina do every single day,” Clinton told The Associated Press in an interview.

“I personally would like to see it removed from the Statehouse grounds.”

But when she was First Lady of the State of Arkansas they celebrated Confederate Flag Day each year…
…at the Arkansas capital.

Confederate Flag Day is still going strong in Arkansas just like when the Clintons occupied the governor’s mansion.

In 1987, when her husband was governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton signed Act 116 that stated “The blue star above the word “ARKANSAS” is to commemorate the Confederate States of America.”

Today the Democrat-media complex is blaming the Charleston church shooting on the Confederate Flag.
Meanwhile, their leading presidential candidate supported the flag with its own special day as First Lady of Arkansas.

    hillary doesn’t have any convictions of her own, she bends whichever way the wind blows.

    “What difference does it make now” Frankly she can make that her response to anything, and frankly she does. What a disipicible hag she is.

    Typical liberal hypocrisy. Hillary shills to whoever is listening at that particular moment, then goes and does whatever she [email protected] well wants, as long as she can profit of it.

    She is running as a candidate for Gumby-of-the-US.

  • Sheikh Hasan bin Sobah

    They say Hillary has no accomplishments to her name.

    Well, mastering the raw art of hypocrisy ought to count for something.

    At least among Democrats.

    Every GOP Candidate Who Called for the Confederate Flag to Come Down Showed They Can’t Win the Election

    This isn’t even about the Confederate flag. This is about elementary
    tactics. It’s about a candidate smart enough not to get caught in the
    media’s game.

    The Obama/Media response to the Charleston church massacre was to politically exploit it. Their strategy was simple.

    1. Link the Roof shootings to the Confederate flag in South Carolina

    2. Link the flag to Republicans

    Every candidate who called for the flag to come down completed the second step of the linkage.

    The ‘flag’ is now a Republican issue. The calls for it to come down
    are piled together and made to look as if the Republican Party had
    something to do with the Confederacy and is now trying to break with the
    past.

    Here is a photo that should haunt her:

  • Wingman

    Hildabeast panders to whatever crowd she is in front of to fleece them and line her pockets. They used to call those kind snake oil salesmen.

  • MontanaMama

    I’m sure she’s evolved since then, after all, it’s been over 2 years, dude.

  • Hillary is a peice of garbage

  • Rob

    Perhaps it would hold more meaning if you used the real Confederate flag?

  • Rob

    What a bunch of rubes. The flag you clowns are all thinking of is a Confederate battle flag.
    It is not, nor ever was, the flag of the CSA.

    It wasn’t the “Democrat”-ic media that linked the shooter to the flag. It was the shooter himself and every person in America that harbors racial hatred towards blacks also has an affinity for the racist rebel flag!

  • Philndeb

    Hillary was seen as a carpetbagger by most of the citizens, especially rebel flag supporting citizens of Arkansas during her time there. It would have served absolutely NO purpose for her to have voiced opposition at that time. What was more troubling during that era was Ronald Reagan kicking off his presidential bid in the city where 3 civil rights workers were killed. The symbology was not lost on the racist community! It helped win him their undying support.
