The Newsweek website was so impressed by historian Rick Perlstein of The Washington Spectator declaring war on a historic flag that they republished him. He’s talking about a flag that is deemed as racist, “one that supposedly honors history but actually spreads a pernicious myth, and is useful only to venal right-wing politicians who wish to exploit hatred by calling it heritage….”
Surely he means the Confederate flag, given the uproar over the past two months for something that has been around since the Civil War. Wrong. Perlstein is talking about the POW/MIA flag, and in an attempt to remain newsworthy, Newsweek actually published this pile of manure.
