Oh, the Flaggers don’t like the mayor of Lexington AT ALL, especially since they had a big campaign in 2011-12 to get her voted out of office, and she got re-elected with a bigger share of the vote than before. Do’oh!

Looks like there are more flags than people there. Maybe they should open a John B. Magruder chapter.
That’s a good one. I wonder if they will get it.
Unfortunately for them they are not facing McClellan and Pinkerton.
Until I read their sign, I didn’t know the flags were Robert E. Lee’s.
Then again, he didn’t know they where his flags, either.
Aren’t they “outside agitators” in Lexington? 😉
They are indeed, at least relative to the Committee, which is composed of actual students at the school.
As usual, Dr. Simpson has nailed it. But, Kevin, “more than 10”? I think if they get to five that would be a major accomplishment.
I count three people and a folding chair. Wow. Where is the crowd control in riot gear?
Is that Mayor McCheese? How did they such get a celebrity guest?
I like the still-life photo of the four “cold drinks” they put on Facebook. Very convincing.

I think this protest is going to look very silly once the real flags make their return to the chapel.
