To: TommyDale
It was a comment on the perception of the accusers, not on the reality of it's use in the show. No one can doubt that people perceive that as a representation of racism, right or wrong... a flag is a physical object, but people associate the flag w/ those who use it, just like a Soviet flag isn't itself, Marxist, but it represents those who waive it..
Again, this is a comment on the perception of the accusers.. not necessarily a comment to say it was used in a racist way in the show..

Where is Opie's mother? They never got specific with it on the Andy Griffth Show but they made it pretty plain that she had passed away.
To: TommyDale
I think he means that the flag is the only thing about the show that anyone could possibly interpret as being racist. After all, most people associate it with a society whose economy was based on slavery.
Now I know, I know, the vast majority of people who wave the flag are not racists. I know that the vast majority of soldiers who fought under it never owned slaves. And I know that to most poeple who actually fly it, it symbolizes valor and courage and not slavery or racism. General Lee himself was opposed to slavery, as was Stonewall Jackson.
But it is perfectly understandable how some people can associate it with slavery, and therefore racism. It's not an accident that the KKK and other racist groups use it.
To: Bob Loblaw; Corin Stormhands
You are correct, sir! Ben "Cooter" Jones ran for the House in a Southside Virginia district, as a Democrat, and I believe he may have even used the ol' General Lee as a prop at some of his campaign stops! (I can't remember whether the flag was still on the roof or not.) Corin, do you know whether Jones played up his "Hazzard County" roots or not when he ran?
Fortunately, the folks in his district figured out that though Mr. Jones has serious "good ol' boy" credentials, he's still a liberal and bad for them, and for America.
Lie down with a flea-infested hound dawg, Cooter, and y'all're gonna wake up with fleas.

I read you loud and clear. Tammy Bruce, Bill O'Reilly, Larry Elder, and Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson have written extensively about the 'Misery Merchant' phenomenon in their respective bestselling books.

With respect to some shows, I think the main purpose was to create a vehicle for the star rather than advance any agenda. The odd family arrangements made good comedic/dramatic material. For example, I have read that Bob Newhart wanted no kids in his TV marriage with Suzanne Pleshette, because that was not the kind of material he wanted to do.

I'm not sure whether this was an attempt by avant guard writers to undermine the traditional family, but it sure is weird. This is the second time I've read somebody concerned about this problem. Your concern wasn't as ridiculous as the other thing I read.

OK, I may be wrong. If he served two terms as a Congresscritter from Georgia, then who was it that ran in Virginia recently and lost? I'm confuzzled.

"See also Andy Griffith..."
Opie's Mom passed away, hence the need for Aunt Bea.
If Andy Griffith isn't wholesome enough for you, nothing is.

they made it pretty plain that she had passed away. It wasn't plain to me, but then again, I haven't watched all that many episodes. I never heard a single reference to her in any episode I watched. Perhaps I haven't seen the one where they deal with the issue.

I don't think he's a leftist as much as a RAT who felt he had to toe the party line.

Phew. OK, thanks, I thought I was hallucinating. :)
I'm not sure where "Cooter" stands on the War on Terror, but I'm guessing, reading about his upbringing, that he's from the old mold of Southern populist Rats--probably moderate-to-conservative socially, but all for wealth redistribution and big gummint programs.

Cooter has got baggage. He lived a few doors down from some friends of ours in Decatur. He was an alcoholic, who was charged with domestic abuse. He also has a poor marital history with multiple divorces. I can't remember exactly how many. Our friends didn't think he was the best of neighbors.
