Bubba Watson, the third-ranked golfer in the world and owner of one of the official General Lee cars from the late 1970s TV show "Dukes of Hazzard" has decided to paint over the Confederate flag that adorns the top of the widely recognizable vehicle.

Watson tweeted his plans Thursday night about the car he bought at auction several years ago for $110,000.

@bubbawatson All men ARE created equal, I believe that so I will be painting the American flag over the roof of the General Lee #USA 7:18 PM - 2 Jul 2015

If he paints it over, besides being a PC lemming, he will also have destroyed a bin chunk of the vehicle’s value as a piece of Hollywood memorabilia.

Bubba, Old Glory flew over a Country that supported Slavery for over 80 Years.

The Battle Flag of the Northern Virginia Democrat Confederates only flew for two Years over the Southern States where Slavery was practiced.

Bubba, I can’t believe I was pulling for you in the Golf Tournament last week when your Opponent collapsed to give you the Win on the Playoff Hole.

Looks like you’re the one that’s collapsing now Bubba.
May the Curse of Tiger Woods stick to you like White on Rice.

He's going to have to rename the car too. "General Lee" obviously won't do.

I recommend "Trayvon Martin".

....and there goes the only Golf person I ever liked, right down the drain.

Why don’t you just sell the car douschbag? To someone who has a pair.

This current phase of PC crap will pass someday and you just destroyed a irreplaceable piece of amaerican history.

I’m just waiting for some pinko to start the “ Kill the Washington Redskins” garbage again. The time is rite for them to start the pile on right now...

IF he was smart, he would put a Vinyl Graphic of Old Glory over the Roof rather than paint it over and ruin the Value of the Car.

Of course, if he was smart, he would have kept his Ignorant PC Pie Hole shut.

I can’t believe a guy named Bubba is such a Pussy.

He might as well take a match to a pile of $1,000 bills.

Some enterprising golf fans might want to wear some stars and bars hats to the next tournament he plays in. Humming and whistling “Dixie” for bonus points. ;)

Why don’t you just go all the way and put the rainbow flag on it, Bubba? In for a penny, in for a pound. Let that white guilt flow like a river!

I absolutely agree. We are NOT all created equal. Some are born with better brain potential than others. I don’t care how hard I tried, I can never equal Albert Einstein.
