Chuck Netzhammer said he ordered the image of the Confederate flag on a cake with the words, "Heritage Not Hate," on Thursday at a Walmart in Slidell, Louisiana. But the bakery denied his request, he said. At some point later, he ordered the image of the ISIS flag that represents the terrorist group.
"I went back yesterday and managed to get an ISIS battleflag printed. ISIS happens to be somebody who we're fighting against right now who are killing our men and boys overseas and are beheading Christians," Netzhammer said.
"That's an ISIS battleflag cake that anybody can go buy at Walmart," he explains in a video posted on YouTube showing the sheetcake. "But you can't buy a Confederate flag toy, with like, say, a 'Dukes of Hazzards' car."

Walmart blames the employee and says the cake shouldnt have been made.

To be honest, I didn't know that ISIS had a flag until the CNN dildo flap.

(38,187 posts)If it is black, where did they get black icing? I've never been able to find black. Navy blue, I might could find. I was always told I could not have black icing on my cake for my birthday. It always irritated me. I finally gave up on it.
I see the hatemongers hate Walmart now. Let's see. If Walmart moves out of towns in the south because of poor sales from hatemongers, most towns will be left with no store to buy groceries, much less anything else. How do they think this is going to turn out for them? They need to grow up and get over themselves.
