When the controversy over the Confederate Battle Flag erupted (because somehow the CBF was implicated in the mass murder of nine people in a way the Koran is never), leftist apologists were declaring that, “This is only about taking that flag off Government buildings and putting it in a museum. No one is talking about banning the Confederate Flag.”
And then the Obama regime decided to remove the flag from museums, too.
And then the Confederate flag became the object of corporate censorship.
So, just like when they said they were not going to force conscientious objectors into participating in gay weddings, the left was lying.
But you want to know the real reason the rainbow brownshits want ‘The Dukes of Hazzard’ off the air? Because it isn’t about the CBF, it’s more about the show’s underlying message.
The Dukes were Southern ‘good ol’ boys,’ economically disadvantaged and disarmed by a corrupt state that deprived them of firearms. Yet. they stood up to, and repeatedly defeated, a greedy and corrupt state authority (Boss Hogg) who manipulated Law Enforcement (Sheriff Roscoe Coltrane) into an instrument of oppression against his opponents.
You can see why this is an unwelcome message in the age of Obama.
Why the Progressive Left Hates ‘The Dukes of Hazzard’
Because hate is the only tool they have.
Got any HARD questions?
The Flag, the Dukes, et cetera were just fine as long as the Old South was reliably Democrat. Now they aren’t, so the Flag – raised over the capital by a Democrat governor – and the Dukes – produced by liberal Hollywood – are now thoughtcrime.
The left H8s the DOH because H8.
Pure DemonizingRat Alinsky:
The real thing they didn’t like is that the Duke boys kept beating their version of Mike Bloomberg. Seriously wasn’t there an episode where boss Hogg planned to take all the salt shakers out of the restaurants & have prohibition on 20oz sodas?
If I like the Dukes of Hazzard and still want it on the air, do I cease to be liberal?
Has there ever a rainbow version of the Confederate flag? It’s not that I would want one but just curious.
V the K!! You keep topping yourself!!! “rainbow brownshirts” — stroke of brilliance. You’ve got two paragraphs here that summarize not only the Dukes show but its present context like a bolt of lightning. PLEASE DON’T EVER STOP.
