Why was it such a controversy when a photographer snapped a picture of a small confederate flag hanging inside a garage on the hunt club property?

Cheney got more then one gun and once again the safeties come undone, take cover or you'll be the next one.

Because the Liberal Media loves to criticize Republicans, conservatives, and Southerners, and they won't pass on any excuse they can make up to do so.
Ever notice they always damn the person or persons who own, display, or are seen in the vicinity of the Confederate flag,
But never seem to attack the people who make or sell them?
That's because if they were illegal to make or sell,
They'd not be able to criticize Southerners for having them!
I see the one I have here was made in NEW YORK CITY...
Why, in the NORTH?
In a LIBERAL HAVEN?
Presumably by NORTHERN LIBERAL DEMOCRATS?!?!
Hmmmmmmmm..........
What's THAT tell ya?
The Confederate flag is a symbol of Southern Heritage.
It is NOT a symbol of slavery. It's a symbol of pride.
It is a symbol of pride in living in a part of the country the North hasn't quit criticizing for over a century.
In case you haven't noticed,
We've held no slaves for well over a hundred years.
The former slavemasters?
Dead.
Deceased.
Every last one of 'em.
They've been dead for decades.
So what IS the damn problem?
I Have A Theory.....
.....Liberals are afraid if they quit bitchin' for more than a few seconds, their mouths will grow shut.
That's as good an answer as any.

I have no Confederate roots, I grew up in the South and I'm not what most racist people think of as a "white person" being very mixed race, so I think I have some first hand experience to speak here.
95% of white Southerners who are proud of their forefathers and the rebel flag are not KKK members or rednecks or haters. They are proud to be from the South and are defiant that the rest of the country has such a bad image of them that is for the most part wrong.
There are a few racist for sure and let me tell you, when they see my brown skin they let you know who they are.
I have no problem with a rebel flag unless it's being used by the haters. You can find these people in every part of the country, the south has no monolopy on racist.
The media likes to make things simple minded....confederate flag MUST mean KKK in their heads. This is stupid and if you buy in to this you are stupid too. The rebel flag is not a Nazi flag by any means.
In the South, they didn't celebrate Memorial Day because it was a holiday to celebrate the Union victory in the "War for Southern Independence", where some states decided to exit from the voluntary union and were invaded, defeated and made to be ashamed of this defeat 150 years later.
As an outsider that grew up there, that how people there see it and their opinion is just as valid as those that make the clearly deranged madman Lincoln who started the bloody war into a hero.

What else did you expect from the liberal media? They don't even know what the flag stands for and can't be bothered to find out. All they believe is that it stands for slavery and all of its evil. What they don't know is that many men died honorably and heroically for that flag. It stood for far more than the slavery issue but the way the media treats it, it is a case of "the baby being thrown out with the bath water."
Even so, there was no indication that Cheney had anything to do with the flag being there. It would be like you having your picture taken and then seeing that someone had flown a Nazi flag somewhere behind you and then having the press insinuate that you were responsible for that hated flag being there. No, they are not fair in their reporting nor do I see them ever being so.

The controversy is stupid..... people argue the confederate flag is racist.... no it isnt. The flag was created to represent the Confederate States of America.... when the Civil war began..... not to represent anything else.... so the war ended and history is history...... slavery is over and racist groups still exist..... in the south and north..... people need to stop crying about history and get a life.... the Confederate flag represented the south thats all..... now it's over and it is just a piece of history.

I would much rather go hunting with Dick Cheney than ride in a car with Ted Kennedy.

At least it was more forthright & honest an occasion than the fake 'photo-op' hunts that "Slick Willy" Clinton & "Swiftboat" Kerry used to stage (with, I might add, posing with guns that weren't even THEIR OWN, but BORROWED)! ! !

He should take Hillery on a hunt, and have an "accident".
