And any azzwipe who compares it to the swastika? You're a moron.
No mainstream group adopted or continued to use this symbol of nazi hatred after Hitler got bunker-bashed.
The same can't be said about the stripes on the General Lee.
Do you really think that a "mainstream" group adopting a symbol speaks the the symbol, or the groups themselves?
Just because the germans have the good taste not to start waving the swastika flag around doesn't mean the confederate flag is "good".
And keep in mind the timing. There wasn't this resurgence of the confederate flag until the 50s/60s when black people started asking for rights and stuff... That's what, 100 years after the civil war? Maybe in 2040 when the jews start getting all uppity again there'll be a german group talking about how the nazi's were really just about german rights and stuff, and not about killing jews, so it's totally cool that they've got this swastika bumper sticker.
Both flags are symbols of d%cks who thought one group of people was not equal to the others. Both groups of d%cks got defeated. You don't need to parse this comparison any further, the difference is simply not that significant when you put it in comparison to the giant d#ck-baggery that the groups represent.
