Maybe this is why the Repunks picked Tampa for their convention

Confederate flag draws tears, cheers in Tampa



TAMPA — They came from Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and all parts of Florida. They wore images of the Confederate flag on their shirts, purses, hats, bracelets and bikini tops.

On Saturday, Tampa was the epicenter of Dixie.

More than 1,000 people visited the site of one of the largest Confederate flags in the world, at the junction of Interstate 4 and Interstate 75, to celebrate its dedication and watch Confederate re-enactors raise a new 30- by 60-foot battle flag.

During the daylong event, they clapped along to country music and chanted back, "Yes, we will!" Obama-rally style, to the men on stage who fired them up with Southern pride.

"It's not enough to raise the Confederate flag," Georgia pastor John Weaver proclaimed into a microphone. "We must raise Confederates!"

(In defense of Tampa I must point out I live in Tampa and am happy to say, despite this embarrassment for the city, Tampa is a diverse city and I believe that these Confederate asses are a minority in this area and am proud to say the Obama/Biden ticket won hands down in the Tampa Bay area in 08.)

1. *Groan*

Lord, I should have known that my home state of Georgia would be well represented in all of this foolishness.

You would think that a century and some change after the Civil War these folks would have found something, ANYTHING to do with themselves by now.
