...why is it Will Ferrell from Anchorman

This thread is magical, represents everything wrong with the Obama administration.

I mean that kind of fits the character I guess? But why would you want to admit that your argument may be legitimately supported by Will Ferrell from Anchorman?
WHY ARE YOU RALLYING IN SUPPORT OF THE CONFEDERACY?! You're literally calling yourselves REBEL riders. And I feel really bad for those children.
I don't think the person who made this saw Anchorman.

Yeah, i mentioned this in PoliGAF how supposedly only liberals and atheists loot and riot while conservatives have peaceful protests that they clean up completely.

I bet if a cop shot and killed one of them for no reason it would turn violent, too.
not wishing violence on anyone. just making a point.
Just saw this bad boy.
This whisper is also a special kind of stupid.
I try not to tell anyone who is all gungho about the confederate flag and flying it about the Nazi flag because I never want to invoke Godwin's law...

Nah, the Obama voters are lazy teens who feel entitled to corner-office jobs right out of high school, and when they don't get it, demand $15 an hour for flipping burgers.
Saw this in a comment feed.

I'll remember this to contrast it against the next rally black people have a rally celebrating a symbol of racial hatred that signifies they enslaved an entire other race and are still pretty proud of it.

Good christ. The stupidity in the first part is amazing. Yes, because a bunch of rednecks in the back woods of South Carolina built that fence around Daytona, not maybe a motorsports safety company in say, California?
Swastikas always shut them up in my experience.

Pretty much the epitome of a strawman essay.
This will be my only post in this thread but I'd figure I get it off my chest somewhere. My brother shared this on his FB wall about two weeks ago after the Supreme Court ruling on marriage.
Only other 4 people plus his wife liked it and there no comments. I shook my head in disgust when I saw it.
That unintentional blacked out word is viciously in case it isn't clear.

If he ever lurks/reads this thread because he knows I post on GAF, I still love you man and will always be there for the girls. However, as you know, political views is where we will always disagree on because you've changed significantly in the past couple of years.

No. But this argument also wouldn't make any sense at all because the nazi flag was only used for a few years. It didn't exist before Hitler. Its really only representative of the 12 years of nazi germany. While some nazis are denying the holocaust(which requires tremendous stupidity if you actually live in germany, have ancestors who witnessed or even commited it and can visit the concentration camps where it happened) they aren't denying the inherent racism of nazism.
But you see some right wingers using the old german flag, the one of the German Reich.
This one: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5d/Reichsdienstflagge_1933-1935.svg
As far as I know the NPD(todays nazi party) uses it sometimes, too.
Other than the confederate flag the german reich flag itself is not represenative of any particularly bad things, but if you use it today you'll still be labelled a nazi because its mostly used by nazis today. But they don't use it because it stands for something they particularly like, but because they can't use the nazi germany flag and they don't want to use the actual german flag because they don't recognize the Federal Republic of Germany. (There are multiple right wing conspiracy theories about how germany isn't a souvereign country and still under ally control and the german government is not really in charge. )
At least there is no big group in particular that has media attention, that uses the Nazi flag.
Outside of school books and cultural stuff like movies the Nazi flag is not allowed to shown in public.
But the argument of cultural heritage is sometimes used to justify some right wing believes or in Neo-Nazi groups.
It is "Totally Evil", in uppercase, like if it were the name of a super-gangster from a cartoon

Wonder what the average bmi in that group is.
I rarely go to Facebook and I saw my best childhood friend from Arkansas have a confederate flag in his profile and said this:
His dad and dad were good friends and his dad had lived in Arab countries. You would think his son be more understanding.
Ironically he shows another video about protesters burning an American flag. Strange how racist support a flag that warred against the US but then get upset when someone burns an American flag. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to show all the pics he posted.

Ironic since its protected speech.

I'm pretty convinced that these people don't know anything about the First Amendment.
They don't understand the right for private citizens to do shit like that (as abhorrent as it may be), and a public entity prominently displaying a flag belonging to traitors and a symbol for racism.
I'm pretty sure the only amendment they know is the "muh guns!" amendment

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Only amendment? More like the only part of the Constitution.
Lately the very idea of separation of powers has been under assault because SCOTUS made some decisions some people don't like.

The real irony - I don't know if this applies to your friend - is that these are the types that get upset about things like gay marriage.
Respect my right to be a bigot, damn it! I'm being oppressed!

My super right-winged father follows a page on Facebook called "Barack Obama's Dead Fly". It kinda got to the point where I had to unfollow him. Considering that's not the only type of post he reblogs >_> But yeah, if I had a dollar for every political page I've blocked because of shit I didn't feel like seeing everyday on my feed, well... I'd be pretty damn rich right about now.

uh huh.
But in my experience,
they think they know everything about the first amendment, and even worse, that they are actually fighting to protect it.
All from the same person:
When, and why, would the White House want to remove that picture?
Why do they think so?
Because Obama is shooting a gun that he personally confiscated from a disabled Vietnam veteran while he was attending church.
Also the sunglasses were made in Kenya.

I HIGHLY doubt car washes drug test their employees... but ok guy who shared this pic
hahaha holy shit
It ain't just the south, man. It's rural vs city. I see all of this shit from family and others up here in Wisconsin. People outside Madison or Milwaukee are pretty much spot on a lot of southern stereotypes, just without the accent.

Man, these anti-food stamps people, acting like they're paying hundreds of dollars of their money towards it annually, when in reality it's more like $30 and that's when you're already earning a relatively healthy income. It's such a pathetic mentality to have.
Also drug testing wastes more money than it saves.
Also would you rather the streets be littered with addicts needing help? So you can feel better about working your garbage job? Such a shit attitude.
