The Clintons have a history of supporting Confederate symbols.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/22/bill-clinton-arkansas-confederate_n_7638542.html

The state flag of Arkansas sports 25 white stars and four blue ones. And in 1987, while serving as governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton signed a bill affirming that one of those blue stars is there in honor of the Confederate States of America.

As Governor, Bill Clinton did not object to the flag of Arkansas having a star on the flag that honored the Confederate States of America.

Stupid nothing point.

Bill Clinton was elected governor in 1978.  That was closer to the Little Rock Nine school desegregation crisis than we are to Bill Clinton's election as President.  Think about that.

He signed commemoration of confederacy in 1987.  You're excusing it because he has a D after his name. Period.

By that standard, you shouldn't attack Dick Cheney for voting against the federal MLK holiday.

Is Bill running in 2016?

Everyone knows that with the Clintons you get two for the price of one.
