“People saw it as service and sacrifice and heritage” seems about as sincere as the founding fathers when they said, “all men are created equal”

It's not something I would have said.

But then, I'm not in the position of trying to explain how and why every Governor of South Carolina before me, dating all the way back to Strom Thurmond (including 9 Democrats and 4 Republicans), had that flag flying over the capitol, until I decided to remove it.

A lot of people are saying...

Well she couldn’t actually come out and say “I was the first governor in 13 administrations who had ambitions for national office and needed some cover to at least pretend not to always pander to the white supremacists who make up the bulk of my party’s base“ now, could she? This quote is actually the undoing whatever good she got out of removal of the flag!

Yeah, maybe five people who have no idea of historical reality see it as such.....“people” also see the earth being flat, Saddam Hussain having WMD, Ukraine interfering in our elections, Obama being born in Kenya and Trump having absolute immunity to do anything ! I’m sure an equal number of people see all sorts of racist symbols through their own whitewash prisms

Strom Thurmond and Fritz Hollings say hi.

Tim Scott too, about the white supremacy bit.

Also, Haley herself. Weird white-supremacists.

So true. Another way to put it is she's playing it perfectly from a strictly political POV

Got to love it that DC proclaims daily that he's an expert on "retail politics." He spends a good deal of time on these forums condescending to everyone else that we all lack his impressive sagacity about politics.

But, when necessary, DC pretends that he doesn't know that Haley's statement was scripted by others, focused grouped, and rehearsed and memorized so that DC and the rest of the Right Wing echo chamber could parse it endlessly. And pretend that it wasn't simply the latest example of Southern Dog Whistle politics at its finest.

I believe that another South Carolinian, Lee Atwater explained the latter.

I can only imagine many strategists realize that Nikki Haley’s voice may be just a little too shrill for many GOP voters...

ETA: and what about the fact “Nimrata Randhawa“ sounds like another onea them Kenyan mooslim names?

I know, right?

Amember which candidate started referring to him using his Mooslim middle name, trying to imply that he was a covert terrorist?

I do.

And Psych thinks she's fat and ugly.

of course you amember.

And to be fair, I don’t recall psych saying she was entirely fat. Just her ankles.

I mean...it's almost like he wants to lose.

It's not a matter of opinion. It's an objective fact.

Would Hillary have allowed Saudis to murder American naval officers on American soil and defended the murderous dictator of Saudi Arabia without demanding that the Saudis investigate?

I don't think so.

Wonder if DC found that birth certificate yet?
