If you let them take your Confederate Flag away you're done; you're toast. That's an early sign of genocide. They're targeting you specifically; taking away your rights. Keep an eye on this issue as BRA (Black-Run America)will use this crisis to ban it as a symbol of "hate".
Mark my words.... battle lines are drawn

If you want to fly your Confederate naval jack, go for it. No one says you can't. Hang it on your house, on your car, on your clothing, whatever. If you want to fly a Nazi flag, I don't care. It makes it easier to identify the people I don't want to associate with.
But it sure as hell doesn't belong on any government property. Aside from any racial meaning that has been attached to it, as TimeToTurn says, it's the flag of an armed insurrection against the United States.
*sigh*
While I'm all for separating the history from various flags and symbols (find me a flag not associated with some atrocity, crime, or idiocy, and I'll find you a nation with a dark secret), I wouldn't expect them to fly a German flag at a local government building. Keep your rebel battle flag. At home. U.S. government, U.S. flag. Simple enough?*
*For South Carolina in particular, see the South Park episode "The Red Badge of Gayness".
@Azereaux
In a thread I was in somebody made what I thought was a good point--namely that the Confederate flag, like the Nazi flag, is the flag of a nation that didn't exist for very long. When you fly a British flag, you aren't necessarily referencing the period when Britain tried to conquer the world. When you fly a Confederate flag or a Nazi flag, there's no other period that you could be referencing.

...My intuition is telling me that someone, somewhere, has said what I just substituted with absolute seriousness. Not in these exact words, but pretty close.
Which doesn't bode well for the OP, who I shall hereafter refer to as Edgelord Question'Mark.
@Cloning Blues
You make a good point. I will also confess to a bit of Southern bias as far as that particular flag goes (which, admittedly, tends to fuel my disgust at white supremacist groups keeping the racist association alive... and don't get me started on the groups north of the Mason-Dixon that use that flag...).
Still, am all for taking it out of public buildings. State flag and national flag only at government buildings (excluding foreign embassies, obviously). Seems simple enough to me.
It's a symbol of treason. Not courage.
I expected this site to yield some idiocy after the shooting, and I was not disappoint.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
