Here we go again

"Springboro, Ohio residents are up in arms after a member of the local tea party unfurled a Confederate flag at a meeting of the town’s school board Thursday. According to Huffington Post, Sonny Thomas, who bills himself as the president and founder of the Springboro Tea Party was protesting the removal of a set of religiously-themed and ideologically slanted classes from the district’s summer curriculum."

"In his speech, Thomas made racist remarks, invoked neo-Confederate group The League of the South and displayed the Confederate flag, saying that African-Americans in the U.S. “should consider themselves lucky since they are treated better in the United States than they would be if they were in ‘Black Countries’ with ‘genocide,’” according to Springboro resident Nimisha Patel."

Another day of fishing for random weird stories to post in hopes of inciting hatred toward certain people. I wonder, does it ever get old being a far-left shill...

Springtime for Hitler and Germany,
Autumn for Poland and France

Teabaggers are nothing if not entertaining. Perhaps he was also unaware that a lot of Ohio boys died fighting the Southern racists?

The propensity for right-wingers to continually double-down on their offensive behaviors never ceases to amaze.

Hey, if someone wants to fly some loser flag because that's what they identify with, they should be able to.
