Flying the Confederate and Nazi Flags at War Memorial Sites

Poll question: Flying the Confederate and Nazi Flags at War Memorial Sites

Both are symbols for nationalism and race supremacy. Governor Blunt of Missouri granted permission to fly the confederate flag at a civil war memorial site.

"Officials with the Confederate Memorial State Historic Site in Higginsville said the turnout there - four times larger than expected - could be attributed to the return of the Confederate flag. Republican Gov. Matt Blunt ordered a one-day flying of the flag at the historic site to coincide with the memorial service, saying he was acting on the request of a state lawmaker who represents the Higginsville area."

Is the flying of the confederate flag at a civil war memorial site equivalent to flying a nazi flag at a WW2 memorial site?
