Republicans, you can wave one Confederate flag or 1000. When you wake up tomorrow, Barack Obama will still be President of the United States

Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) October 13, 2013Yes Republicans, waving a Confederate flag outside the Black President's home is a great way to convince America that you're not racist.
—
Nerdy Wonka (@NerdyWonka) October 13, 2013Yes, the GOP/Tea Party brought Confederate flags to White House today. And we're the ones playing the 'race card'? http://t.co/jk9vbYFv47

Beryl (@RainforestMoon) October 13, 2013@McConnellPress @SpeakerBoehner Are you two disavowing teapartiers who hoisted a confederate flag outside of our President's home today?

TheObamaDiary.com (@TheObamaDiary) October 13, 2013A thought: two thousand black men show up, rip down government barricades, and wave separatist flags. What's the response?

Jesse Taylor (@jesseltaylor) October 13, 2013Thanks to Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin, the Tea Party was given the chance today to show the world who, and what they are. #KlanRally

This Is The Republican Party
If Obamacare was really slavery those people hanging the Confederate flag outside the White House would be for it.

Mat Johnson (@mat_johnson) October 13, 2013In many parts of America, waving a Confederate flag outside the home of a black family would be considered a very hostile act.

Jeffrey Goldberg (@JeffreyGoldberg) October 13, 2013Raising the Confederate flag outside the White House seems like a compromise-oriented move. https://t.co/pvU8QqRvZV

Jeffrey Goldberg (@JeffreyGoldberg) October 13, 2013Racism comes out of closet (as if it were ever in) as protesters hoist Confederate flag outside WH today.

TheObamaDiary.com (@TheObamaDiary) October 13, 2013Bringing Sarah Palin & a Confederate flag to DC will certainly reassure Americans who were afraid the GOP might be a little self-destructive
—
(@LOLGOP) October 13, 2013Waving a Confederate flag at the home of a black family isn't okay anywhere. It's a threat of violence.

Lee Fang (@lhfang) October 13, 2013Confederate flags flying outside the White House and protesters yelling "Go home!" Proud moment for you, GOP.
