All it took was a “Salon” contributor to come up with a false piece of parallel history full of “Neo-Confederates” to have idiots on the left declare “The Star Spangled Banner” a “Racist Anthem.” I know, because vandals spray-painted the accusation on the Francis Scott Key Memorial in Baltimore yesterday.
Tucker Carlson had the author of the scurrilous opinion piece on his show last night for a thorough “Tuckering”- Watch
I’m not going to link to the original Salon slander, but instead offer up a well-done refutation of the piece of garbage, from the Lid – Here
WE NEVER LEARN!! JUST LIKE OPENING UP THE FLOODGATES OF ALL LEVELS OF PERVERSITY UNDER THE GUISE OF GAY MARRIAGE, IT WAS NEVER AS SIMPLE AS CONFEDERATE FLAGS!! THEY AFTER THE DESTRUCTION OF EVERYTHING AMERICA!!!
Did anyone really believe that it would end with just removing statues of Confederates?
The cowards who did this have not identified themselves so they can claim their reward. A 10 year all expense paid vacation in a federal facility.
When will we learn…appeasement never works.
And when is Trump going to do something about Soros who is funding all of this?
Somebody said social media is dumbing down whole world.
I’m getting so sick and tired of this shit that if these scum sucking little maggots were shot on sight for doing this, it wouldn’t hurt my feeling one bit!
I’m ready for some RETRIBUTION!
No one is forcing these idiots to stay here. If they hate America, go somewhere they will like better.
I still can’t understand how anyone would claim “neo-Confederates” would want to make a song about the flag that defeated their side the national anthem.
When will mayonnaise be removed from store shelves? POCs consider it food for white people, white people are inherently racist, whites who are relatives to slave owners like it, and previous slave owners liked it. It’s placed in a clear containers so there is no mistaking the whiteness that causes serious anxiety, like pouring salt on an open wound every walk down the store isle. Salt too, it’s too white and clearly a minority killer with high content in junk food.
They laugh now, but wait until Francis Scott keys their cars!

I’m with Doc 1000%!
Like everybody, I know the first stanza by heart. Just now, I read the rest of the lyrics over and over and I just don’t see any racist or “neo-confederate” there at all. Can somebody please point out those parts for me?
Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote a fifth stanza in 1861, and it appeared in contemporary songbooks. I don’t see a problem with this, either.
First they came for the statues and I did nothing…..
Wake up people
I’m packing Mr. president, I told ya I wouldn’t let ya down.

It didn’t take a Salon article or any other article.
AntiFa WAS MISTAKENLY A LITTLE TOO HONEST when they chanted:
“No Trump. No wall. No USA at all.”
IT’S THAT SIMPLE.
WE wipe THEM out, or THEY wipe US out.
Call me silly (not Shirley), but I prefer the former.
We’re all for freedom of the press. Salon is irresponsible, similar to ESPN, IN ALLOWING either the article or they voice to puke hate
How come watermelon doesn’t have black seeds any more?
