Just like I am not offended when I see a swastika.
It's what they say about the person defending it, that makes me feel sad & disappointed.

When someone defends the stars & "stripes", I get it. They defend the symbol & values that it represents.
A great country that has the potential to be even greater.

People who defend the swastika & the Confederate flag are different.
Their values are misguided & usually aren't in the interests of anyone but themselves.

I don't know Ra77er, I think my objection to people who defend a symbol of slavery and biggotry should be fairly self-explanitory.

But to answer your question, I am not offended. It's like saying I am offended by sourtwists, Benny big nuts, retard or recon's posts.
I consider the source & then I am no longer offended.

Just depressed & upset.
