The Dukes of Hazzard is loved by millions of fans. Since it aired in the early 1980s, it has been watched by millions more in re-runs, and a new generation has also enjoyed the hilarious antics of Bo Duke and Luke Duke. Also, who could forget the beautiful Daisy Duke!
The best character in my opinion was Cooter, and the actor – Ben Jones – is not happy with the latest attack on the Confederate Flag, which was painted on top of the General Lee car – a 1969 Dodge Charger emblazoned with a Confederate flag. He’s furious that liberals are so quick to disregard history. Millions of men fought and died in the battle over slavery, and the flag is part of this country’s rich history.
The flag is significant, and Jones believes the flag should be flown! And there is no reason to stop airing the show simply because of the muscle car’s paint job.
As Ben “Cooter” Jones posted on Facebook:
Here is what Cooter said. This is AWESOME!
TO ALL OF OUR FRIENDS AND FANS FROM BEN JONES AKA “COOTER”
I THINK ALL OF HAZZARD NATION UNDERSTANDS THAT THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG IS THE SYMBOL THAT REPRESENTS THE INDOMITABLE SPIRIT OF INDEPENDENCE WHICH KEEPS US “MAKIN’ OUR WAY THE ONLY WAY WE KNOW HOW.”THAT FLAG ON TOP OF THE GENERAL LEE MADE A STATEMENT THAT THE VALUES OF THE RURAL SOUTH WERE THE VALUES OF COURAGE AND FAMILY AND GOOD TIMES.
OUR BELOVED SYMBOL IS NOW BEING ATTACKED IN A WAVE OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS THAT IS UNPRECEDENTED IN OUR NATION OF FREE SPEECH AND FREE EXPRESSION. ACTIVISTS AND POLITICIANS ARE VILIFYING SOUTHERN CULTURE AND OUR HERITAGE AS BEING BIGOTED AND RACIST. WE KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT THE CASE. AND WE KNOW THAT IN HAZZARD COUNTY THERE WAS NEVER ANY RACISM.
THOUGH THE FLAG HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM SUCH PLACES AS WALMART, TARGET AND AMAZON, IT WILL NEVER BE REMOVED FROM ANY OF OUR COOTER’S STORES AND MUSEUMS. WE ARE ALL THE SAME GOOD PEOPLE TODAY THAT WE WERE LAST WEEK AND LAST YEAR AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE SHAMED INTO TURNING OUR BACKS ON OUR HERITAGE AND OUR CONVICTIONS.
WE ARE NOT RACISTS. WE DESPISE RACISM AND BIGOTRY. AND WE THINK THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CREATING THIS “CULTURAL CLEANSING” ARE THE REAL BIGOTS IN THIS STORY.
WHEN WE SAY OUR FLAG STANDS FOR “HERITAGE, NOT HATE” AND “PRIDE, NOT PREJUDICE”, WE MEAN IT. AND WE BELIEVE THAT OLD SAYING, “YOU CAN’T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING IF YOU FORGET WHERE YOU CAME FROM.”
COOTER’S IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO SELL OUR SOUTHERN SYMBOLS AS LONG AS THERE IS A COOTER’S. I WILL FIGHT THESE PEOPLE UNTIL HELL FREEZES OVER, AND THEN I WILL FIGHT THEM ON THE ICE.

Ben Jones also served four years as a Congressman from 1989 to 1993 as a Democrat! Can you imagine today’s Obama-Democrats being this patriotic? Of course not!
Thank you Cooter for standing up to the liberals who never stop adding to the list of what offends them.

It is sad that freak killed those innocent church folks. He should be publicly executed. The act had nothing really to do with that old out of date flag. It was caused but a mentally ill evil freak. But what about the Black man that slit the neck of a toddler playing in his grand parents yard. When asked why he did it he said the boy was white, and he was upset by the Travon verdict. He should be executed aswell. What about the two whites killed in the MD riots for being White (one was not even a US citizen) and the killing was taped with a phone. No charges pursued due to it was a riot. They should be executed. If a large group of whites looted and set fires the would have been shot by the police make no mistake about it. But it’s ok for blacks. What about the knock out game and attacks on whites for well being whites not considered hate crimes. Only whites can do hate crimes. What a boy the two Black teens that followed a younger white boy home from school and put gas on him and yelled burn whitey agin not a hate crime.I can cite 100’s of these hate crimes and they can be found reported by local tv staions but no carried by national news. The media only covers bad things that whites do. Ieveryone is the same then a crime should be the same for all.

Those who see it as a symbol of racism are ignorant and need to LEARN the true history of it!
What it means to you is irrelevant to the people who see it as a symbol of terror.
That would be a disgrace for the Rebel flag. Muslims and demonrats can use the satanist flag.
Perhaps the Democrat’s and Muslims can adopt this Flag to represent them! In my opinion this is “covered” in OUR Constitution! Next the American Flag with be replaced with a Muslim Flag, doesn’t it look like toilet paper used??? I am buying the biggest AMERICAN FLAG I CAN FIND and putting out front of my home and if no one likes it they KISS MY AMERICAN ASS
Rebelling against tyranny is the history of our country and this is the Rebel flag.
Perhaps the Republican and Tea Parties can adopt this Flag to represent them! In my opinion this is “covered” in OUR Constitution!
I wouldn’t wipe my ass with that traitor’s rag. Why do people who call themselves American fly the rag under which hundreds of thousands of decent Americans were killed? If you love this country why proclaim your love for the seditious pricks who attacked us? The Confederacy was a state dedicated to allowing one group of human being to own as property another! Chattel race slavery that allowed you to beat, rape or kill another person, because you owned them! WTF is wrong with you?!
Well said!
To the poster named Karen…”Seriously” did you just ask that? What have you done with your life lately?
So lets “SERIOUSLY” ASK SOME QUESTIONS OF THE LEFTIST GOVERNMENT AND THOSE THAT SUPPORT THEM.
Does this mean the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT will pay restitution to all the American Indian Tribes they forced off their land? Does this mean that all of those forced to live on Indian Reservations will now be given back the Land that was stolen from them?
Hmmm, I notice that Amazon.com still sells items with a Swastika on them…
The Confederate flag is a part of our American History. You can’t change our history just by erasing the emblems of our history. It doesn’t work that way.
Maybe we should no longer celebrate George Washington’s Birthday since he owned slaves and it wasn’t until after his death, that his slaves were set free.
While we’re at it, we should also removed his head off our money, off Mt Rushmore, along with Thomas Jefferson, who also owned slaves and also had illegitimate children by Sally Hemings; who was also a slave.
Come on people, it’s not about flags, it is about people taking responsibility for their actions. Ferguson, Baltimore; these cities that were and are still rioting is not about the Confederate Flag!!! It’s about people that feel they are entitled to protest for the sake of protesting!!!
It’s gives these people an excuse to loot, pillage and destroy personal property that has nothing to do with the situation that involved law enforcement and discrimination against black people.
For young man that went into a church and killed 9 innocent people; it wasn’t about a Confederate flag…That was just his excuse to justify killing 9 innocent people. So to the letter of the law; his excuse should not be accepted!!! He should according to the letter of the law; accept the responsibility of his actions and be punished accordingly!
Seriously??? THIS is the type of stories this site publishes…..and interview with a D-List actor who was on a TV series in the early 80’s?? I……JUST…..CANT!
Frank, you are truly an idiot.
Proud racist is proud.
It’s just another opportunity for the FED. Gov. to try to take away guns and our right to bear arms. But the President must remember, though he often forgets…That his job, or rather the job he was hired to do is this…Which he swears to do when he takes the oath of office!
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, (preserve,) (protect) and (defend) the Constitution of the United States.”
The moment he stops doing this he is to be considered a traitor and should be dealt with accordingly.
So while the President still continues to try and take away the firearms from the citizens of the United States of America. Which BTW, is what Hitler did to Germany; than he is not preserving, protecting or defending the 2nd Amendment to our Constitution!!!
I agree 100%. We are on a dangerous course if we permit political correctness to eliminate history by decree. This reminds me of the pharaohs destroying their predecessors articles.
You might as well carve out the stone mountain tribute, or Mt. Rushmore for offending Indians or perhaps the Washington monument for offending Egyptians. This flag is a foundation stone of this country, even if it may be cracked…it should stay. Removing history undermines the foundation. Divide and conquer, thats the real issue. How about the 60,00+ black men who fought for the confederacy as free men to keep the union from destryoing their homes. Its not about slavery rather money masked by a empty cause. Slavery would have phased out on it’s own by the time the industrial age came to be. No, the agenda by liberal and presidential push to stand on the bodies of nine dead people to push their wheelbarrow of division. Remember, America is an experiment with nutty professors at the helm.
