You know, you can fix stupid.

trippin · September 20, 2015, 4:56pm

Ha ha ha! It’s soooo typical they would misspell “zeros”! Tee hee hee!

emilianoelmexicano · September 20, 2015, 4:56pm

Just kidding, I think this is a silly story I don’t think it reflects well on us to make a big deal out of a really minor spelling error.

Not ALL ‘southy people’ are stupid…dumbass.

jootjoint · September 20, 2015, 5:01pm

Hmmmm, its hard to discern whether the pro-confederate activists are dumb because they fail to realize their confederate forefathers are factually LOSERs and they themselves (General Lee) surrendered and gave up the ghost of continuing the slave trade market in the United States of America. Then on the other hand these pro-confederate activists are also woefully inept intellectually and the flying banner sign is proof of that…being politically correct is not a goal in their lives.

I’m stunned the group didn’t whine about “grammar nazis.”

meri · September 20, 2015, 5:06pm

You have to remember, people like this don’t necessarily consider being called a “Nazi” to be an insult.

Them boys ain’t the sharpest tools in the shed…this is the flag they flew until someone pointed out their error…good grief, doesn’t anyone in the Klan have an edumacation?

538liberal · September 20, 2015, 5:21pm

No, it’s more like an item.

WTF does “education in flagging” mean?

“Flagging” is a form of protest adopted by Confederate fanboys and -girls, to register their defiance of perceived slights to Confederate symbols. It usually consists of a sidewalk protest of people with flags and signs, chanting slogans and handing out pro-Confederate fliers. The strategy is essentially to make themselves a nuisance until whatever wrong they’re mad about gets corrected. It had not been widely successful in changing the policies they object to, but it makes them feel good about “doing something.”

Hardly a minor spelling error. “Heroes” is one of their favorite words and it is on a giant banner towed by an airplane, for Pete’s sake!
