South Florida group fights for right to fly Confederate battle flag, so what's new?

By Daniel Vasquez

About 100 people gathered in a Plantation park to protest for the right to fly the Confederate battle flag, no matter how many people it offends.

Not free speech's finest moment, but then again, this is Florida ...

Actually, what pro-Confederate flag supporters lack most is what they desire most: Attention.

In their stand for heritage, the Confederate flag group could only field about 100 people. And some brought a gun and knife to the party.
