MSNBC GUEST COMPARES BETSY ROSS FLAG TO SWASTIKA, BURNING CROSS:

MSNBC guest Michael Eric Dyson compared the Betsy Ross American flag to the Nazi swastika and a burning Ku Klux Klan cross during an appearance Wednesday.

Nike canceled a release of shoes featuring the iconic flag with the 13 stars representing the original colonies, after former NFL quarterback and liberal activist Colin Kaepernick objected because it was “offensive.”

Dyson, a Georgetown University professor who frequently comments on racial issues from a left-wing perspective, defended the cancellation, citing its connection to the revolutionary period and that it was “deeply embroiled in enslavement.”

As Steve noted earlier, “It’s weird how many things became offensive only after Obama left office:”

Never thought I’d see an MSNBC regular tacitly call Obama a Nazi. I’m so old, I can remember when the only lefties who did so were Lyndon Larouche-ites:

Exit question: “Who had the Democratic Party coming up with ‘our flag is racist’ on the Fourth of July on their Self-Destruction Bingo card?”
