I have lived in Mississippi all my life and so I feel like I can speak with a fair amount of confidence on how the Confederate battle flag is used down here. And I hate to dissapoint anyone but it is a racsist symbol - and the meaning is pretty clear.
But I think what Dean meant by that statement is that he wanted to appeal to a certain demographic - namely lower/working class white males who usually are the staunchiest supporters of the flag.
