I hope somebody tells that POS murderer just what he's accomplished, exact opposite of what he wanted.

I thank those two twitter reporters who found his web site.
They were unable to distract with the usual bullshit because they found the photos and his manifesto.

I saw her last night on Rachel, and she's on LIVE now on NewDay, and if you get a chance to see her, it's worth your attention.

She was crying last night at the SC House Debate about the flag, had me crying then, and now, I'm crying again. Bless South Carolina and these good people.....fighting hate with love....just like at the church...

Many are crediting her with getting the House to vote, rather than continue to stall. Awesome woman!

and said it was adding insult to injury to leave that flag up. Interesting and helpful is that she's a descendent of Jefferson Davis, and should have a strong attachment to it, but it seems her affection for Sen. Pinkney and his family is greater.

And she's a Republican.

Hope our President gives her a call......
