"Well I take these boys won't be going to see the "Dukes of Hazzard" movie."

I'm astounded that movie was even made. Even more shocking is that the movie was made and they didn't change or remove the flag from the car.

A SUV wouldn't have let that happen

A SUV would have defended itself!

I'm shocked! All this time I had been led to believe that everybody north of the Mason-Dixon line was soooo tolerant!

Heck an SUV would've taken the offensive and run them down beforehand.

Yet another? Except for intolerance by the ignorant I'm not sure I see any good reason not to have a flag of the Confederacy on your vehicle

I'll give you a good reason. I'm not Confederate. I'm a citizen of the United States of America.

Getting your car vandalized, seems to me, merely makes it a no-brainer.

Another good reason to have a Confederate flag on your car. "American by birth, Southern by the grace of God".

Why weren't they charged with a hate crime? Had it been a rainbow flag, it would have been.

The "open minded", "Progressive" "Tolerance" preached and worshipped by the walking undead of the left ---- is directed ONLY at those ideas that comply with their brain dead concept of the world....

The left will have to be destroyed, before it will cease being a threat to life and health....

Semper Fi

Well as a North Carolinian, I choose to celebrate my heritage. If someone that is ignorant of the history of any of the flags , or the defense by my ancestors, that's their problem. If they damage my property, I will make sure they are punished to the fullest extent of the law available

Yepper. There's an enormous amount of ignorance in the population about..and this is going to really tick some folks off...the War of Northern Aggression and the symbols of the CSA.

This woman and her "boys" are a perfect example of that ignorance.

I like to demolition derbies and I always give my cars wild paint jobs and drive around town like that for a month or two before wrecking it. One time I painted my car up like an AMERICAN flag, stars and stripes, and I was giving some friends a ride in it in downtown Minneapolis. While we were stopped at a red light there was a guy sitting on a bench waiting for a bus, and he says to us "KKK Muthuh______s".
Idiots are everywhere.
