Ever since an insane racist in South Carolina killed a bunch of people for being black, naturally we’re having a national conversation about the Confederate flag. Clearly, this evil flag emits mind-control rays that are compelling Dylann Roof to do things. Just look what it made him do to that other flag:
As you can see, the Confederacy is responsible for what this man has done. And, by extension, white people everywhere are responsible.
Well, not all white people. Some of ’em aren’t so bad. Isn’t that right, Media Matters genius Oliver Willis?
before writing a defense of the confederacy, replace “confederacy” with “nazis” and see how it reads.

actually, confederates are worse than nazis. at least the nazis didnt take up arms against their own country. — Oliver Willis (@owillis) June 22, 2015
This may come as a surprise to anyone who thinks the Holocaust really happened. I do, but then, I’m no Oliver Willis.
Also, the Confederacy was founded by Democrats, and the Republican Party was founded to oppose slavery. But whatevs!
As always, good work, Oliver. Good work, Media Matters. Please keep talking.
P.S. Oh yeah, and this is all the Daily Caller’s fault or something.
P.P.S. Hillary White Power Clinton.
