Title: Lindsey Graham: Confederate Flag Is a 'Road Block'

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said on "Meet the Press" he viewed the Confederate flag as a "road block" for his state, joining others who called for removing it from the grounds of the South Carolina capitol in the wake of this month's shootings in Charleston.

"Put it in a museum," Graham said. "You can look at it any way you would like. But after this shooting, and after the call for it to be taken down by the families of the victims, I see it as a road block to the future of my state."

Days after the shooting, Graham told CNN the flag is "part of who we are" in South Carolina. But last week he stood with Gov. Nikki Haley, R-S.C., and a group of lawmakers as she said it was time to move the flag from Capitol grounds. Graham was part of a compromise in 2000 that placed the flag in its current position. On Meet the Press, he said the recent shooting changed his thinking.

"My state will never be able to move forward after this shooting if we don't take the flag down," Graham said. "The people at the A.M.E. church, the families of the victims changed everything by their grace, by their love, by their forgiveness, making it impossible for a guy like me to say, 'Keep the flag up.'"

When asked by Chuck Todd later in the interview, Graham refused to endorsed removing the names of Confederate figures like Robert E. Lee from schools and roads, citing Lee's accomplishments after the Civil War. "[W]hen you look at what he did as a whole, I think he's earned the right to be called one of the great figures in American history," Graham said. " If it wasn't for his leadership after the war ... only God knows what would've happened after 1865."

On Friday, Graham attended the funeral of Rev. Clementa Pickney, one of the nine people killed in the Charleston shootings.

Graham said of President Obama's speech at the service, "I don't think he's a very good Commander-In-Chief, but he did a very good job."


As always, this guy has his head up his ass.

A Republican party member should not be supporting the use of a Confederate flag as a state symbol.

What would be the proper way to honor those who died in armed service other than to fly the military battle flag?

Doesn't the flag already fly at a museum. The confederate memorial. So they have to take it from one museum and put it in another.

noun. 1. a building or place where works of art, scientific specimens, or other objects of permanent value are kept and displayed

And at Confederate graves. Honoring fallen soldiers is not normally reserved for private viewing. It has flown over the Confederate cemetery at Elmira, NY. There are American flags at Normandy.

There is a British graveyard on the Outer Banks of NC. British sailors are buried there that were washed ashore after their ship was torpedoed by a Nazi sub during WW-2. I read an article in a paper once that said every time a British Naval ship docks are Charleston or Norfolk that they send a honor guard there to lay wreaths on the graves,and that a British flag flies over them.

I used to know the name of the ship they were on,but that was a long time ago. I do think it's location is known now and divers have dived on it in recent years.

I also THINK the sub was later sank,and it's location is also known and divers have dived on it,also. IIRC,it was sank within days of sinking the British ship.

I never heard of that before. I served alongside the Brits and it sounds like what they would do.
