George Washington was a slave owner. We had better rip down his obelisk, and rename DC and the state of Washinton.

 

Also, the White House was built with slave labor. We should raze it to the ground.

Add "Gone with the Wind" to the list of things the left want to see banned.

Not seriously (as this is your typical "interview man in the street, then show the dumbest" setup), but it has already been suggested:

Also includes the gem "Change the American Flag because it represents genocide, and Germany doesn't use the Nazi flag."

I can get behind that, albeit for other reasons.

But of course, liberals don't stereotype.

Liberals have always been something of a special breed...no doubt.

just my truthful observation. the cars i've seen with flags in tow meet this description very well. not a lexus or infiniti among them.

Just some ordinary Joe's celebrating southern pride.

Your smarmy "driver and passengers in urgent need of dental work" jab is very telling about your need to categorize people by stereotypes. I notice you don't even mention that line in your laughable defense of your "truthful observation".

 

A little self-reflection time might do you some good.

You missed the point. The poor dental condition of these people is due to their politics and their inability to get to their dentist due to their lack of a Lexus or Infinity. My teeth are just so/so, but then again, I only drive an Acura. Now my wife's teeth are worthy of that German car represented by an upside down peace sign.

I think the value and quality of cars generally is inversely related to the likelihood of seeing stickers and flags of any kind on them.

no demographics on groups such as neo confederates and other racist hate groups come to hand but i think anecdote might lead towards the right conclusions in this case. came across this while looking however.

 

it was an epiphany for me explaining why so many libertarians here seem to agree with neo confederates re the civil war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Confederate

 

Historian Daniel Feller asserts that libertarian authors Thomas DiLorenzo, Charles Adams, and Jeffrey Rogers Hummel have produced a "marriage of neo-Confederates and libertarianism." Despite an apparent disconnect ("How can a lover of liberty defend slavery?"), Feller writes:

What unites the two, aside from their hostility to the liberal academic establishment, is their mutual loathing of big government. Adams, DiLorenzo, and Hummel view the Civil War through the prism of market economics. In their view its main consequence, and even its purpose, was to create a leviathan state that used its powers to suppress the most basic personal freedom, the right to choose. The Civil War thus marks a historic retreat for liberty, not an advance. Adams and DiLorenzo dismiss the slavery issue as a mere pretext for aggrandizing central power. All three authors see federal tyranny as the war's greatest legacy. And they all hate Abraham Lincoln
