A Republican Mississippi state representative is facing backlash after he wrote on Facebook that the Louisiana leaders behind the removal of historic Confederate monuments in New Orleans should be “lynched.”
State Rep. Karl Oliver made the controversial comment after a statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee on Friday became the last of four Confederate monuments in New Orleans to be removed under a 2015 City Council vote.
“The destruction of these monuments, erected in the loving memory of our family and fellow Southern Americans, is both heinous and horrific,” Mr. Oliver wrote Saturday evening, The Clarion-Ledger reported.
“If the, and I use this term extremely loosely, ‘leadership’ of Louisiana wishes to, in a Nazi-ish fashion, burn books or destroy historical monuments of OUR HISTORY, they should be LYNCHED!” he wrote. “Let it be known, I will do all in my power to prevent this from happening in our State.”

All those FDR, Wilson, Lincoln, MLK, and Kennedy roads are subject to removal as well as any monuments to them, especially in DC. It's goose/gander thing and everyone needs to let that soak in. indyjonesouthere
ReplyDeleteAs I've mentioned before, JFK would be a right wing radical today.
DeleteAgreed. Love to see it happen. It's come to this.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, there is a statue of Lenin in Seattle.
We all know who insane Lenin was - mass murderer, communist
and torturer.
I must be missing something. Tear him down.
Really.
DeleteAnd he has since apologized.
DeleteNo one stands for anything
these days.
Worthless cucks and craven cowards,
one and all.
But what do I know, I am
just a lowly medic, who learned
his trade in the real world.
Only to be neutered and rendered
impotent after returning home, beset
and surrounded by shitbags of every
type.
