Jefferson Davis Monument Tarred and Feathered in Arizona

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/jefferson-davis-monument-tarred-feathered



A monument commemorating the only president of the Confederacy was vandalized with tar and feathers this week, a local Gold Canyon, Arizona TV station reported Thursday.

The Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway monument sits along U.S. 60 and local authorities are investigating the incident, KSAZ reported. This is the second time a Confederate monument in Arizona was defaced this week and the most recent in a string of vandalism of Confederate memorials across the country.

As a Liberal that goes by the credo "Why can't we all just get along?", I'd like to propose that we get together and chip in to have it cleaned up.







With Confederate currency.

Local business owners, the Mayor and Police Chief of Phoenix are aware of the challenges and loss of revenue for yet another Presidential rally for hate.
