Thousands in South Carolina receive menacing Confederate flag robocall over Independence Day weekendby Bethania Palmas Markus at the Raw Story

"SNIP...............
South Carolina residents began receiving robocalls on Friday comparing the movement to remove the Confederate flag from statehouse grounds to ISIS.
The states General Assembly is set to begin debates Monday on removing the flag, which has flown over the statehouse since 1961. Talk of removing it grew heated after a white supremacist gunned down nine African-American churchgoers on June 17, including State Senator Clementa Pinckney.
The message, featuring an eery-sounding and likely digitally-
generated voice, was paid for by a group called the Conservative Response Team (CRT). According to their Facebook page, the group dropped 40,000 robocalls. They will continue to do so throughout the July 4th weekend and next week.
Just like ISIS, Obamas haters want our monuments down, graves dug up and school, roads, towns and counties renamed. Theyve even taken Dukes of Hazzard off TV, the recording says. Whatss next? This attack on our values is sick and un-American and it has to stop right here and right now in South Carolina.

They are probably aimed at those who live in the upstate. That cretin, Senator Chumley, lives there and it's more conservative.
Bob Jones is also up there and gawd knows what they are up to.
