| Description | U.S. Sen. George Allen once again is being told to lay off the Confederate flag.
But this time, it's not coming from the people who abhor the Dixie symbol. It's from the people who revere it.
State leaders of the Sons of Confederate Veterans have scheduled a news conference today to criticize Allen's recent remarks that the Confederate flag could be seen as a symbol of hate.
"George Allen was a good friend of ours, and we don't appreciate him turning on us to get out of political trouble," said Frank Earnest of Virginia Beach, commander of the Virginia division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. "He's degraded us, the flag and our heritage." |
