This thread started with a bunch ignorance about
hunting and simply slid downhill.


Oddly enough, when the thread started we didn't even know that Cheney had
been hunting at a private NY club that seems to have been flying the
Confederate flag. Probably has nothing to do with the VP's opinion on
anything, but his not coming out with a statement saying that he finds the
choice to fly such a flag in NY, of all places, less than fortunate just
shows that he couldn't give two ****s about how the common man thinks of
him.

Um, "flying" it, Gracie? It was hung on a door inside a barn, and
there's no indication Cheney knew it was there. I'm not sure "the
picture" was taken when Cheney was there - I've heard yes and no. OTOH,
Al Sharpton didn't waste any time in issuing another goofball
statement...every time the man issues one, I recall Darrell Hammond (as
Chris Matthews) from SNL - "come on, Rev. Al, say something stupid..."
And FWIW, the descendant of a Confederate soldier, among others, would
be perfectly justified in displaying it, and doing so would say nothing
about their feelings about race. In fact, although it would be
extremely unlikely, the above-described displayer of such a battle flag
could be black.

IAC, why do you think anyone would (or should) "issue a statement" on
this?

Although it is extremely unlikely, you might someday find that you have
something of interest to say.

well, what the hell, as long as we're discussing parallel (more or less)
universes and stuff.
