Interesting "pride ride" in Florida... (parade, racism, speech)

[MUTGR]

4500 people showing pride...

Thousands of Confederate flag supporters rise up at Ocala, Florida rally | Daily Mail Online

I guess the protesters against these people are the violent ones....

"Protesters against the parade fired at least six gunshots towards the convoy but no one was injured, reported wftv."

No problem. They're individuals expressing themselves using freedom of speech.

The party of segregation, racism, and Jim Crowe laws are now being spiritually absorbed by today's GOP.

Abraham Lincoln is rolling in his grave at the racist loony teebaggers who have taken over the Republican party.

I find the Confederate flag to be an odd symbol of very selectively chosen heritage and pride. But hey, either you believe in freedom of expression or you don't. They can do whatever they want. Anyone can criticize it.

Just a symptom of the medias strange ongoing obsession with a piece of cloth.

Of course the first response to this is to get violent.
