Look, Iām WHITE and Iām tired of this crap. That flag is a great big cry of NI(CLANG!) on top of the capitol building. You know that but what really pisses you off is that WE know it, too.
Itās WAY past time to take that traitorās rag down. If Haley had any real balls, she would have had it torn down and let the legislature vote to try to put it back up.
As for Roof not representing South Carolina, that is cowardly bullshit. You may feel you have to say that cause you live in South Carolina but Roof represents you to a āt.ā You are correct when you say Roof is crazy, but only in South Carolina is he considered to be āstanding up for your heritage.ā Face it. You guys have been bowing to his ilk for more than a century and you should be ashamed of it.
And Cooter, that show sucked donkey balls.
Iām sure heās also used the American flag.
He did. As kindling.
Raise your hand if you now have the Dukes of Hazard theme song going through your head.
My godā¦I canātā¦makeā¦itā¦stop!!!
Iām a big Waylon Jenningsā fan. Donāt You Think This Outlaw Bitās Done Got Out of Hand?
Itās been used by racists, by horrible people such as this man who
killed those people in Charleston ā terrible thing. Iām sure heās also
used the American flag."
Uhhh, Mr Jones?? Roof BURNED the American flag. And posted an image of himself doing it. So, yeah he kinda āusedā it.
Sheesh.
āThey were invadedā What the hell is it with these traitor confederates? YOU WERE NOT INVADED. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SECEDE. Wow.
donāt forget daisey
I remember the show, but not much about it. Were there even any black people in it?
Ms. Banfield did a fine job there. Cooter, er, ex-Congressman Jones, is just wrong.
"That show did have ā prominently featured a Confederate battle flag in a very positive context, in a place where there was no racism," he continued.
Yeah, right, Cooter. But it may shock you to learn that there is no such place as āHazzard County.ā Itās a fictional place created for television, and its fictional existence is not evidence that the flag isnāt a racist symbol. The only heritage it celebrates is a heritage of atrocity.
I have heard it said that the flag was essentially out of the American consciousness until the 1940s when the Tennessee Klan revived it as a symbol. It gained resurgence in the early 1960s as a symbol of resistance to civil and voting rights legislation.
Time we stop listening to fools in denial making these ridiculous excuses for the indefensible. Time for a nationwide Confederate Shame Month.
Itās always nice to get political commentary from a guy named Cooter.
How does the Confederate flag represent a personās ancestry more than the American flag? Jones is likely of British ancestry, so why not the Union Jack, then?
Come onā¦asking a man named āCooterā on your show? What did you expect (wink, wink)? Whoās next? Paula Deen?
And what in the fuck kind of nickname is āCooterā, anyway?
That the North invaded the South is a popular meme that has been circulating in the South for decades. They conveniently forget who fired upon who at Fort Sumpter. The other popular meme is that the war wasnāt about slavery.
Iād much rather find out what Catherine Bachās legs think about this controversy.
The only thing of Color in the show was the car!
Catherine Bachās legs are much smarter than Cooter.
Ben āCooterā Jones, who dissed the film version of āDukesā for being too dirty and Daisy Dukeās āDaisy Dukesā for being too tight.
Jones is still unaware that āCooterā is slang for a part of the female anatomy, that was, although covered for the run of the show, was still on full display.
Of course, it may have been that Jones was pissed that he had not been included in appearing in the film. And it has not stopped him from cashing in on the showās fame (or his, such as it isnāt), as he is the owner of Cooterās Place bar and also a Dukes of Hazard museum.
Jones may identify as a Dem, but he is still a Dixiecrat.
āHi yāall! Ben Jones is here anā heās gonna help me make a Cooter pie! Now Ben, what exactly is a Cooter pie? Ahām as Southern as you are, and I swear that Cooter is a funny southern name for mah lady parts, least thatās what I called itā¦where you goinā? Why yāall runninā away. Come back, Cooter, come back! Damn! Same thing happened when I had that nice Lindsey Graham here. All I asked him was if he wanted to pet mah cat anā he bolted faster than Ben did!"
