The film critic from the New York Post is calling for a ban of the movie Gone with the Wind because it has the Confederate flag in it. Isn't this going a bit too far?

Yes that's going a little overboard if you ask me.

You have got to be kidding me.... I'm really too speechless to give a proper answer other than, "You've got to be kidding me."

Anyone can take any symbol and kill lots -

The symbol didn't commit these atrocities- the idiot behind whatever symbol did -

I could kill a schoolhouse full of kids with a smiley face flag - every one of you would say , let's ban a smiley face - it's a symbol of hate

3 cheers Obama, I want the rainbow flag banned , as its offensive to me.

Also, the black power fist, as its offensive to me , I would go on. I won't, it's obvious-

What an asinine idea! This debate going on right now is not about banning the Confederate flag. It is about removing them from government properties and placing them in museums where they can still be seen on display. Now if people want to support businesses which reject that Southern Cross emblem, and want to boycott businesses which support it, that is fine by me.

So, if people want to abstain from seeing a showing of "Gone with the Wind" for any reason, that is their choice (although I think that the presence of the Confederate flag would be a ridiculous reason to abstain since it is shown in the context of the time in which the movie was made). But banning it? Absolutely not!
