Fox And Friends: Confederate Flag Bans Are A Liberal Plot Against 'Expressions Of Patriotism' [View all]
Not The Onion!
http://crooksandliars.com/2015/08/fox-friends-confederate-flag-bans-are
The hosts of Fox & Friends asserted over the weekend that the Confederate flag was being banned in schools because liberals "hate expressions of patriotism."
Dickson County public schools in Tennessee last week announced that they had banned all flags because some students had been flying Confederate flags on their vehicles....
"This is not about a school district in Tennessee," Fox News host Tucker Carlson opined on Sunday. "This is a about a long-term trend where the people who run everything -- the elites in Washington, New York and L.A. -- despise rural America and its culture, suspect anybody that doesn't live in their cities of being a bigot, and they're trying to crush that culture by banning its symbols."
"Not just the Confederate flag, but the American flag," he continued. "They hate expressions of patriotism. It makes them uncomfortable. Let's be honest."
