Letter: Confederate flag a stain

In a letter to The Spokesman-Review, Delilah Dixon comments on the Confederate flags prominently displayed on a worker’s pickup at the Shoshone County transfer station:

Prayers and kudos to Jon Ruggles for calling out racists in his community. Confederate flag sympathizers such as Patricia Wolford from Mullan, and Rep. Heather Scott from Blanchard, should know that all of the Southerners I have spoken to view the Confederate flag as a stain and shame on our national heritage. Born in Florida, my family and my friends liken the Confederate flag to Germany’s Nazi swastika. Both are symbols of hatred and degradation of fellow human beings. More here.

Question: Would you liken the Confederate flag to the Nazi flag?
