6. lol.....

Guess the attempts to exclude and divide us racially is not accepted by most Americans....sorry Kerry and Edwards.....you have done nothing more than practice the opposite of the Southern Strategy....and it is dispicable....

9. Does the Confederate flag exclude and divide America racially?

I don't take Dean's remark (when seen in context) too seriously, but bringing it the Confederate flag up AT ALL is inviting criticism. If you like Dean because he's an "outsider" and "risk-taker, at least be prepared to take some heat from other candidates. Kerry and Edwards have every right to criticize Dean on this. Hellooo... it's called POLITICS AND CAMPAIGNING.
