Its not fucking racist you fucking twat....did you even read the article?

"It's just my simple opinion that the flag should only be lowered to half-staff for Americans who sacrificed for their country," Clark told CNN affiliate WHNS.

It should be lowered at the U.S. Embassy in South Africa, he said, but not at home.


You people think that anybody that does not bow down to Obama is a fucking racist.

Upon the death of the governor of a state, territory or possession, the flag should be
flown at half-staff on all federal facilities in that governor’s state, territory or possession
from the day of death until interment.

The president may order the flag to be flown at half-staff to mark the death of other
officials, former officials, or foreign dignitaries. In addition to these occasions, the
president may order half-staff display of the flag after other tragic events.

Shocker, conservative from South Carolina wont lower the flag for African who is responsible for ending unconscionable discrimination, even when directed to do so by the first President of the United States who has African blood.

Is anyone surprised by this?
 
Why? In the statement he posted on Facebook, Clark said Mandela was not an American. He adds the appropriate place for the flag to be lowered is at our embassy in South Africa.


CLARK: "This struck me, in my opinion, that having the flag at half-staff is for Americans who sacrifice for their country and who serve for their country. That's just a simple opinion, and that's what I thought." (Via WSPA)


While a president ordering flags be lowered for non-U.S. citizens is rare, it has been done in the past. (Via NPR)
George W. Bush ordered flags be lowered for Pope John Paul II in 2005. The same was done for former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and former Egyptian President Anwar Sadat in the 80s and 90s following their assassinations.


Clark told The Greenville News that the practice of lowering the flag to half-staff would lose its value if it was done for Mandela, but a local NAACP member said she hopes the sheriff lowers it in honor of Mandela as a sign of respect.


MSNBC points out the flags actually were lowered to half-staff at the sheriff's office — but for a different reason. Clark said it was lowered Friday to remember a deputy who died in the line of duty and Saturday in remembrance of Pearl Harbor Day.


Even though President Obama ordered flags be lowered, Clark likely won't face any consequences for his decision, as there's no penalty for those who don't follow the order.
The Congressional Research Service says the Flag Code, "functions simply as a guide to be voluntarily followed by civilians and civilian groups." (Via Congressional Research Service)
Nelson Mandela died in South Africa on Thursday at the age of 95. He is expected to be laid to rest Dec. 15.

Leave it to liberals to try and paint this as the act of a racist. To them there is no other possible explanation. everything is about skin pigmentation.

I am not surprised at all. Had a Conservative world hero who ended unconscionable oppression (I cant think of any) died, that flag would be half mast.

Obviously you are simply speculating and doing so based on your desire to make this about race. YOU do not KNOW that it would have been.

Given that his department just lost an officer in the line of duty, I think his response is not that unreasonable. But do go on trying to pretend you KNOW what would have happened and that you KNOW the actual motivation of this man.

Just like a dumbass... I never said NOTHING is about race you dishonest hack. I said it should not be your default knee jerk reaction. Given what the officer actually said, do you still think it is about race Garud?

Actually he wasn't directed to do so by POTUS. POTUS only has authority over Federal Institution. He cannot make such an order to a State or local facility. This is much ado about nothing. Some redneck wants to show his ass. Fine! Let him.

So yet another judgemental liberal proclaiming he knows why the sheriff acted as he did. Did you bother to read the explanation given Mutt or are you just going to stick with the narrative you WANT to believe? Which is it you sheep fucker?

Meh..he has that right. The Presidents orders don't apply to him. But your larger point is still appropro. Is anyone surprised that a white redneck from Klan country isn't going to show respect to a black man? Particularly a Foreign black man?
