Flag of Dixie Divides GOP Candidates

Would former Mayor Giuliani support placing the Confederate flag above "Grand Army Plaza" in Brooklyn or whould he find supporting such action disgraceful?

Is not the Confererate flag equivalent to the "elephant dung painting" he rail against during its exposition at the Brooklyn Museum. It turns out both the Confederate flag and the "elephant dung" painting are bad symbols. Our former Mayor is scandalized by the Brooklyn Museum's decision to display the controversial painting. He is not scandalized by the confederate flag and its impications when it is flown over a State Capital.

The Mayor's opportunism is shocking.
