The Daily News takes a picture of a confederate flag in the garage of the club and then show it to Sharpton. Notice where the club is located. <\/p>\n
Vice President Dick Cheney spent about eight hours hunting Monday at a secluded Hudson Valley gun club where well-heeled enthusiasts shoot ducks and pheasants.
\nIt was Cheney’s second visit to Clove Valley Rod & Gun Club in Dutchess County, about 70 miles north of New York City. The previous trip was in fall 2001.
\nAlthough a heavy police presence kept the media and curious local residents at a distance, Cheney’s visit did stir up a bit of controversy when a New York Daily News photographer snapped a picture of a small Confederate flag hanging inside a garage on the hunt club property.
\nThe photo was shown to New York City civil rights activist, the Rev. Al Sharpton, who issued a statement demanding that the vice president “leave immediately, denounce the club and apologize for going to a club that represents lynching, hate and murder to black people.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Daily News takes a picture of a confederate flag in the garage of the club and then show it to Sharpton.
