Protesters clash over Confederate flag outside Phoenix Walmart | Fox News
So it's finally happening. Now the confederate flag supporters are openly called racist. What's coming next? Jailing for waving American flags? Calm down a bit, liberals. The confederate flag is a part of our history. We need to start a 'Save the confederate flag' campaign to draw attention to the first amendment violation. People must have a right to wave whatever flag they want.

The Constitution, and its amendments mean NOTHING to liberal pukes anymore....All that matters now to them, is mob rule, and how ****ty they can be to those that disagree with them.
 
Why do conservative Confederate supporters keep bringing up the 1st Amendment? The 1st Amendment has not been violated in any of the latest conflicts over the flag.

And you're right, the Confederate flag is a part of our history which is why, as Obama said, it belongs in a museum.

They do though. Couple that with your pre-k understanding of the First Amendment and its safe to say you're just lost in the weeds here.

I guess it's you who don't understand the first amendment quite well. The first amendment implies the freedom of speech and self-expression and yet this right is being violated...

... How does calling a person racist violate their freedom of speech? That is what happened here, right? Two groups of people with different opinions said mean things to each other. That happens quite literally EVERY SINGLE DAY ON THIS FORUM. It's hardly a violation of anybody's speech.
 
Phoenix is too hot this time of year to be protesting anything.

Hey, will WalMart gets props from the left now for being sensitive to the Confederate flag cause?
 
Of course they're clashing outside a Wal-Mart These people aren't going to clash outside a Macy's
 
Because the Confederacy was so popular in 1865 Arizona.

They do have a right to wave that flag. And as an equal exercise of free speech, folks have the right to tell them that they're racists for doing so.

That is true and you have shown no government attempt to stop that "free expression" activity. People also have the right to call you (or anyone else) a racist, bigot or any manner of moron. The 1A prevents the government from limiting your speech - it does not demand that private citizens will not become upset, express opposing views or even call you names.

Is Obama right on everything, and anything that comes out of his mouth?

Again I ask: If a KKK member decided to bring an AK-47 to that clash and opened fire on anti-flag demonstrators would the Democrats chastise the anti-flag demonstrators for provoking the KKK?

Well, in a political atmosphere that seems geared to shutting down speech that some people find offensive it seems that you no longer have a right to call people racist, bigot or moron. Your only free speech right moving forward is the right to report offenders to the thought police.

That's just the point. These lumps in the lumpenproletariat are NOT liberals. They are the very opposite of liberal, and many of them despise this country and its Constitution.

Long live the American flag, and long live the Stars and Bars.

It is that same idiot who organized the mosque protest (which had more counter protesters). He then tried to do a gofundme right afterwards in a shameless attempt to cash in.

The confederate flag is part of the history of a failed attempt by an upstart nation to overthrow the United States of America.

It is a flag of losers.
 
Because the Confederacy was so popular in 1865 Arizona.

There actually was one civil war battle in AZ. The battle of Picacho Peak.

Calling someone racist isn't violating anyone's 1st amendment.

A private company deciding not to sell something that offends people isn't violating anyone's first amendment.

Taking down a flag from government property isn't violating anyone's first amendment.
 
Phew! Thank GAWD it's a protest over the Confederate flag at a Walmart no less. Why if this was a protest at a Walmart over better wages, the right to form a union, maternity leave and pay for women and health benefits for employees it wouldn't be news at all.

WTF...you understand that I can call you a ****tard for your comment and we're both practicing our first amendment rights?
