Summary: KMO is visiting his family in northwest Arkansas, and in this episode he asks some of his Arkansan friends about the Confederate battle flag. Berryville-based writer and broadcaster, Dan Krotz, explains how people who display the Confederate flag are broadcasting the message that they are both mean and stupid. That's useful to him as it lets him know that he should avoid those people. Kris G, a young farmer who grew up in Sallisaw, Oklahoma shares Dan's assessment. He thinks that in a free country, people have the right to advertise to the world just how small-minded they are by flying the rebel flag from their pick-up trucks. In the final segment of the program, C4SS writer, Kevin Carson, explains why the claim that the flag is a symbol of "heritage not hate" is incoherent.
