'Mississippi history at its best!' — GOP Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith wore Confederate cap in Facebook post

When you are in a run-off election down in Mississippi against a black guy, its best to go full Confederate. Personally, I don't care if a republican candidate wants to wrap herself in the confederate flag and opine about how great the Confederacy was -- I just wish someone would tell them that its the Democrats who are the party of the confederacy, duh!

From the article: Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith smilingly posed for a photo in 2014 while wearing a Confederate cap and holding a rifle, then put the image on her Facebook page with the words "Mississippi history at its best!" <<-- Was the confederacy really the time when Mississippi was at its finest? I would assume a significant portion of the population would disagree with that.

"That image, taken at a Mississippi museum, resurfaced Tuesday as AT&T, Leidos and Walmart joined two other companies, Union Pacific and Boston Scientific, in asking Hyde-Smith, a Republican, to return campaign contributions because of controversy over her recent jest about being willing to attend a public "hanging."

Now like I said, its not big deal to me if a republican wants to go full confederate, I would have expected to see the Democrats do it first tho, since they are still the party that most supports the Confederate cause -- however, I fully expect for Hyde-Smith to win her run-off against the former Democrat klan leader, Mike Espy.

Am I right about this? Is a Democrat in a run off in Mississippi?

Wow.

Amazing it is even close

OK Mississippi.....who do you pick?
The racist or the negro?

You just repeated yourself.

Cool. Good for her to not be afraid of her roots and heritage.

 

[rightwinger]

Hyde Smith is one creepy broad

The type who would enjoy herself at a public lynching

[rightwinger]

Hyde Smith seems to have done the impossible

Make it possible for a black democrat to win in Mississippi

 

[User901]

The Confederacy has long since morphed from a partisan political issue to a general regional pride.

As you should well know.

I remember plenty of episodes of the Dukes Of Hazzard where they opined about how blacks don't know their place since that tyrant Lincoln signed that dag-nabit Emancipation thingy

The more you idiots keep trying to pretend your party is the party where most white supremacists feel at home, the more pathetic your deflections will become

You do? Must have been the drugs!

There were no such episodes. YOu are lying.


The few white supremacists have no home in the American political scene. There has been national unity on equal rights for blacks since the late 60s, when the dems finally gave up on Jim Crow.


The Confederate Flag has long been seen as a harmless symbol of regional pride.

My god you people are clueless -- the dukes of hazard was a hollywood show about a fictional place in the south -- it had ZERO to do with reality --- because during the same time period of that show -- people were still being lynched by the KKK -- right down there in Dukes Of Hazzard country....

And as much you keep trying to say "the few white supremacists" it is shit you tell yourself to make you feel better -- there are enough white supremacists for the republican party to keep pandering to them

and there was not national unity on equal rights in the 60's you idiot.....

Oh, shut the fudge up, you lying sack of shit!

 

[Political Junky]

I saw nothing objectionable about the picture. Lots of nice historical relics.

But demokrauts are neo-1930’s germans who espouse censorship and book-burning.

Coming from a Neo-Nazi, that's hilarious.

Except to black pandering Democrats who insist it go away, But what do they do about their own state flag ? >>

And the name of their University of Mississippi >

It didn’t come from a neonazi so it must not be funny.
Demokrauts are the nazi censors and book-burners. Applying today’s standards to history in order to justify censorship.

1. The Dukes of Hazzard was a fictional tv show. ONe which became a NATIONWIDE hit, despite the fact that the main characters were proud southern boys, with a Confederate Flag painted on the top of their car, which they named the General Lee.


The fact that this show was popular OUTSIDE of the South, proves my point that historically the flag has been seen as a harmless symbol of regional pride.


2. The Dukes of Hazzard was not a period piece. It was set in the 80s. "lynching" was a vanishing rarity by that time.

3. No sane person would claim that the GOP panders to white supremacists.

I recall at least one black character, very favorably presented.


My point stands. THe show was a nation wide hit, the Duke Boys were popular TV stars, "ust a couple of good ole boys never meaning no harm"


not seen as Evul Racists Traitors, out to bring down the government or re enslave their neighbors.


The Confederate Flag, long ago morphed into a harmless symbol of regional pride.

No, it was resurrected as a symbol to battle school desegregation and civil rights.
