Confederate flag sales up 3,600 percent in some cases

What's the surest way to bring sales up on a product? Threaten to take it away.

A shooting in Charleston, SC that left 9 people dead at the hands of an alleged white supremacist has renewed debate on the Confederate Flag. South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is calling for the flag near the state Capitol to be taken down.

But that won't remove the divisive symbol across the south: Sales of one confederate flag on Amazon.com have gone up 3,620 percent in the last 24 hours. The top five "movers and shakers" - meaning products whose sales have increased the most in the last day - in the patio, lawn and garden section on the site were all variations on the flag.

  1. I think the manufactured controversy about the Confederate flag is put out there to distract people away from Obamatrade.
