... As country singer Hank Williams Jr. performed at the Grandstand, his souvenir stand was selling the flag.

... the spokesperson for the State Fair ... says the fair cannot ban the Confederate flag.

The Fair had asked two vendors who they knew sold Confederate flags in the past not to sell flags at the State Fair this year, and those two vendors agreed voluntarily.

1. Hank Williams Jr, is a racist alcoholic. So what else is new

2. The racists here in the back woods of East TN have all put up their Confederate swastikas

Most of the people flying the swastika are dirt poor. This one guy whose house is falling apart and who has a broken down car decorating his front lawn has his swastika flying from his broken down porch. It's really sad. It's as if he is saying I can't afford decent housing or a car that runs but I sure can afford to be a racist a**hole.

Funny though, people who use to fly it have stopped. It's a whole new group of pathetically poor who are flying it now. Strange.

3. Guess along with their guns, it's all they have to cling to. Sad really. nt

4. Heritage not... oops....

Guess all those New York Soldiers who died fighting for the Union in the Civil war don't count to these yahoos.
