'Dukes of Hazzard' episodes pulled from TV Land - Jul. 1, 2015

So in a current poll, the Confederate Flag is not a hands down racist flag, it came out at 42% against and 42% pro, poll was taken in Alabama and South Carolina , but that's not stopping companies from yanking it down. Poll is here Poll: After Charleston, a nation divided on the Confederate flag

Now TV land is taking down the Dukes of Hazard, Political Correctness at it's fineness

[blackmonsters]

42% of all people should definitely be ignored.
fuck 'em, Mitt forever!

It's a free market. You are free to voice your displeasure by no longer watching TV Land and encouraging your friends to do the same. Also, don't shop at places that are pulling the flag and contact them to let them know you have stopped and why. If enough people do this and it effects their business, they might change their mind.

LOL the poll was taken in two of the most racist and backwards states in all of the land.

And I thought racism was about the Democrat Party in the 1800's wanting to keep slaves while the Republican Party had to declare war to stop them. Little did I know. It was about a TV show and a car in the seventies.

For well over 30 years, the Confederate flag has adorned the roof of the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard tv show. The Dukes of Hazzard was a show about values, morals and principles - not about racism and hate!!!

Fans of the show who know what the show is all about and what the Confederate flag really stands for: southern pride and values - not racism or hate!!

Since the Dukes of Hazzard aired in the late '70s, there has never been a controversy about the Confederate flag on Dukes of Hazzard merchandise or having it air on tv, until now, all because of some psychopath who killed 9 people in a South Carolina church that a tiny Confederate flag on his license plate. The killer is the one responsible for the racism and hate he has shown - not the flag or the citizens who live in the south!!!

Do not give in to the political correctness lunacy. "The Dukes" was about family values, fighting corruption, helping friends, neighbors and even strangers... no matter what color they were. There were multiple epiosdes where they helped people of colors other then "white", and it even had a black sheriff that appeared often, who was respected and feared more then the sheriff of Hazzard.

Yes.. the General Lee had a confederate battle flag on it's roof... but remember, the KKK and other hate groups also carried American flags, and crosses.. and so far nobody is trying to ban those from TV. It's time to draw the line in the sand and say "enough is enough", and Political Correctness has gone too far...

Bring back this TV show that had family values, that had a family that prayed before dinner, went to church on Sunday, and is was always willing to help ANYONE in need... even their enemy, when the need arose... and their trusty indestructible car that was almost always there to help them help others, when needed... the General Lee.

Bottom line :

Dukes of Hazard, Ebay etc....
These are all side issues not even pursued by opponents of the flag.

The issue has always been removing the flag from the state capitol grounds in South Carolina.
The NCAA has a boycott on SC until the flag is removed.
This has been going on for years.

The major retailers pulling merchandise are doing it to show that they support moving
past this shit.
They are just joining the NCAA in saying SC needs to move the flag.

Finally, it's probably not good long term business to sell the flag when it's being waved
by people who murdered 9 blacks in a church and burned down 7 more black owned churches in just a week.

You just don't want to admit that racist people are killing black people in the name of the flag.

If you fly that flag then you simply are not part of the future; because you are living in the past.

Yea right. How about we take a look at the killers' youth and psychological illness first? Why did he do what he did? Because he's completely crazy. Why was he like that? Not because of a fucking flag. You are completely being derailed once again by racewar mongering media. Do you think banning of the flag will prevent another psycho on a killing spree? Or do you think more efficient care and attention to the obvious signs he was giving off will prevent another psycho killing spree?

Please get your ignorant head out of your ass and stop following the racebaiting media while burying the real issues.

It's not racebait to simply point at a racist murderer and call them that.

Perfectly dodged the point, my compliments.
While more psychos are being bred, go ahead and whine about a flag. That'll prevent them from shooting people up!

No that's just the beginning, they want an all out ban on the flag, I saw what's on some of the websites for the people pushing this

The guy was fucked up on 20 different levels. Not many people are denying that he very clearly had racial issues, but this incidence has turned into 3 different arguments and none of them are about mental health. Racism, gun-control, and arguing with the above.

Why nobody is addressing mental health is beyond me. Wait a minute, I know why, it's not politically sexy.

[TrafficPartner Wolfgang]

Political correctness is really that what it most decries: fascistic & narrow-minded. Ah, and btw anything that has to do with fun is "a priori" questionable... Go figure!

[Tom_PM]

Mentally fucked up the wazoo, and able to walk right into a gun store and obtain a deadly weapon he fully intended to use to kill people and discussing gun laws is going political.

Sure thing.

He didn't walk right into the gun store and obtain a deadly weapon. If you want to argue that guns should not be given as gifts, you can make that argument.

It's because they only see the guns they want to get rid of, forget facts

Actually, his father gave him that gun.

The major problem with gun laws is that liberals like new ones, but liberal judges like to plea bargain down the effect. Chicago has the toughest laws in nation, yet the judges plea down almost every gun related case and the gangs know this.

I've handed down 3 guns to my daughter, one for protection, two because of the age of the guns, one was from 1932 and the other from 1945. Then again, my daughter has never taken any brain altering drugs from the doctor either.

Instead of placing the blame on racism or guns, you are placing the blame on pills. Those pills do help plenty of people that are not running around killing mass quantities of people. This guy had issues beyond a few pills.

Fact: we are not all angels. Some of us are seriously fucked up and no amount of medicine or therapy will correct.

retarded, the dukes was one of my favorite shows as a kid. i never associated the show with any racist qualities.

Bullshit.

The murderer found his way from Lexington, SC to the AME church in Charleston and that
proves he's not mentally incompetent.

He fled the crime scene because he knew what he did was wrong.

He will be tried, convicted and put to death.

just because someone is mentally ill doesn't mean they don't know right from wrong. your idea that someone mentally ill has to be a retarded slobbering fool goes to show far we have to go before people realize there are all kinds of degree of mental illness that effects people in many different ways.

holy fuck how can you be this stupid?

Do you think this person isn't mentally ill as well:


He strings together sentences like a middle aged poet, he knows where he goes when he steps in his car... and he shot up alot of people.

But in blackmonsters mind this guy has no mental health issues. Because he knows his way in a car. Complete idiot strikes again.

Me either; but I never actually watched the show either.
I think the TV show and other things are coming into play because some people feel like this is a
"tipping point".

Americans have become so used to hearing that X number of people got shot that some of them
are just not processing the full gravity of the murders.

It's not about the TV show, it's about business execs deciding that they don't desire to
have their company wallowing in a hillbilly fight in the southern sticks.
It's common knowledge that some people view the flag as a racist symbol used by hate groups. The question for CEO's is why do they want to get in the middle of it when it's
value to the company's bottom line is probably 0%.

That motherfucker does not meet the legal criteria of mentally incompetent.
The court doesn't give a shit if he is a "little crazy".
They only care if he knew what he was doing and that motherfucker knew what he was
doing.

Fuck you asshole; that dude is not the one who killed 9 people this week.
I don't give a fuck about him and further more he killed himself so how does that
compare to someone who fled an entire state away and was trying to hide.

You're so fucking stupid that you will express shock when this jackass gets the death penalty.

i didn't realize the only valid mentally ill people are those that a court qualifies as "mentally incompetent". like i said, most people just don't understand how mental issues can effect a person and drive them to do horrible things. i don't give a shit what a court needs to qualify someone as "mentally incompetent". there are a lot of fucked up people out there that will never meet those standards and yet are crazy fucks with fucked up ideas who have little regard for others or themselves.

Sorry, I don't believe that for a minute. When I was in high school, no one was on that shit. I'm talking about all the drugs they pump into kids no one understands. I had a step son for several years , I went thru that shit with him, they didn't understand him, they told me I had to stop being a hard ass. They pumped him up so much that he puked one day and I got in a fight with my wife over it and we took him off the drugs. I believe that shit has long term effects that fuck with your brain chemistry in ways doctors don't know.

To blame on a gun is ridiculous, it wasn't the gun that killed those people

Most ridiculous thing ever! This is just totally fucked up and I never watched an episode.

Wrong.

According to Roof?s grandfather and Meeks, the man's family gave him money for his birthday this past April, which it is believed he used to purchase a .45-caliber Glock pistol.

As you already stated, thousands and thousands of kids are on those pills. Where are the thousands and thousands of massacres that you want to blame on those pills?

Congratulations. You are making the same exact argument that everyone who wants to ban guns is making.

Just announced from CBS Universal:

CBS Announces CGI "Clean-up" of iconic television show Dukes of Hazzard.

Before Jerry Rushing gets to bring the TDOH era back to the big screen in the movie remake starring Johnny Knoxville , CBS Paramount has a secret plan to get it back on the small screen, but with a makeover.

In the wake of recent events, it was announced that CBS was selling a new broadcast TV (not cable) syndication package for the original series, reformatted to fit the 16:9 aspect ratio of modern televisions, but with CGI replacements of the iconic 1969 Doge Charger "General Lee" with a modern Toyta Prius.
