Pennsylvania fair allows sale of Confederate flags, so activist burns hybrid flag

Last year, a vendor selling Nazi flags at the Bloomsburg Fair was expelled from the festival. This year, fair officials decided to allow the sale of Confederate merchandise, including the rebel flag.

Longtime Pennsylvania activist Gene Stilp argues allowing one and not the other is a distinction without a difference.

"The values of both flags are disgustingly equal," Stilp told PhillyVoice. "Both stood for racism, hatred, bigotry and even death."
