Talk:South Carolina State House

Let's be factual not diplomatic
I visited and contributed to this article simply because the building is a U.S. National Historic Landmark. But isn't this the statehouse which was subject of controversy for having a Confederate battle flag flying, which figured into the 2000 or 2004 U.S. presidential election campaign? I am honestly not sure, but there seems to be some well-veiled reference in the article. For wikipedia, let's document that there was a controversy, please. Or tell me if I have the wrong place. doncram (talk) 00:49, 29 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes this is the place. Salon.com Politics 2000: John McCain to condemn Confederate flag. Out of the media spotlight and away from the presidential crucible, the Arizona senator will take a stand on a South Carolina controversy. By Jake Tapper. April 18, 2000

 * Actually, the section only gets it half right. The controversy had already been boiling over for a few years before 2000 election cycle and if I remember correctly, the legislators were attempting to settle the issue before it would cause unfavorable light to fall on the state when the nation's (and national press) attention would be on the primaries there.
 * In fact, it seems odd there isn't a separate article detailing the various protests that erupted in many Southern states in the 90's over the flag's use on official buildings. Not to mention, a photo of the dome's flagpole to illustrate that several flags are displayed up there. SteveCoppock (talk) 00:57, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Previous state houses.
Seems like there should be mention of previous state houses in the article. This is the second state house to be on the site, and before that, Charleston would have had a state house of some kind since it was the capital until it was moved to ColumbiaDJGristle (talk) 21:41, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
