Confederate flag rally organizer: Bring rifles, 'extra magazines just in case' to San Antonio event

SAN ANTONIO — A local organizer is encouraging supporters of open carry and the Confederate flag to bring rifles and "extra magazines just in case" to a rally in downtown San Antonio Friday.

Do they expect Sarah Palin to show up?

The Civil War was a terrible tragedy. These people make a mockery of it.
