Are you sure of those numbers? It was a few hundred from what I saw and not the bridge (was down Calhoun, ending down near Market). The bridge unity chain was last night, about 20,000 people and had nothing to do with the flag - just a show of unity and togetherness.
Just want to make sure everyone keeps the facts straight.
Thanks. I stand corrected. I was confusing the 'unity chain' with the flag demonstration.
You appear to think that's some sort of big gotcha. Not sure why.

Are you going to support the establishment Democrats and GOP(all leftists) who rule by force, or are you going to advocate for true liberty which is the underlying principle which the Republic was formed?
Hey, look - a false dilemma! Isn't that just adorable?

Yeah, local media covered the events extensively but national media has cherry picked it. Too bad they didn't cover the event last night on the bridge. It was really something else. Truly was telling on how we are in Charleston as a people. Love my city!
A stupid statement considering Nixon, as is evidenced by the Watergate tapes, used the N word frequently.
Are you forgetting that Lyndon Johnson used the "N-word", opposed the first Civil Rights Bill authored by Republicans*which eventually became the bi-partisan Civil Rights Bill of 1964) and famously said"I will have those ******s voting Democrat for the next 200 years."
Hint for brainwashed Dems who have been indoctrinated in supporting Lyndon Johnson, LBJ was a racist who used a word that started in "N" in the "asterisk" word". Wake up!
How did you decide that? Slave owners carried that flag.
Slave owners carried the stars and stripes US flag too. Funny how the "confederate flag" wasn't considered racist in the 80's when it was on TV every week.
How long until the democrats (the main people up in arms about the northern Virginia battle flag) want to ban the Mississippi state flag too?
I was born and raised in the South and live here in South Carolina and the only people I've ever heard call it the War of Northern Aggression are yankees trying to act southern. No one calls it that here. We call it the Civil War just like everyone else.
I was in Georgia, lived in Dalton for a while(actually between Dalton and Calhoun), that is where I heard it called the War of northern aggression. But it wasn't called that all the time, it was more in jest. I took a trip up to Tennessee with my sister, to this place where they had "Dinner theater". Where the host put on a play which allowed you to see the Civil War through the eyes of a Tennessee soldier and his family.
He had all the flags of the Confederacy on a wall and gave us their history.

Ah, the jest thing makes sense. I know in Hollywood's version of the South, we're all down here reenacting the Civil War and causing it the War of Northern Aggression - which don't even get me started on Hollywood's portrayal of the South! I'm originally from Georgia myself - very deep south Georgia.
LBJ proves my claim, why don't you say what you really think, or are you afraid?
