The confederate flag should not be removed to appease rioting people that know nothing about history or due process.

Really it's 2015 so why do I feel like we are sliding back in time and just when you think society is starting to grow. It's bad enough that they are wanting to bury our county's history. But to desecrate such an iconic symbol from a show that millions of people of all race and size have grown up with and still love to this day (just look at the money it still brings in after all these years) I'm sorry if offend some people, and I'm sorry that "some" miss use this flag in a hateful way, (there are bad apples in ever group) but for the majority of people this flag has a much deeper meaning. I myself am offended by the ones who use it for hate but to take this away from the many because of the few is not right.You should not be judge by your religion, race, beliefs, sexual orientation or your heritage. We have National holidays, monument, and museums all celebrating certain or all heritages. This flag a symbol of our country history and some people heritages. It offends a few, so we are going to what remove it, bury it, pretend that the symbol is what causes the hate and that once the flag is gone "poof" All the hatful people will disappear. If we were to remove everything that offense or may offend people what would we have left?? Hate lives in a person heart not in a symbol just like a gun can not kill without a person to pull the trigger..

I can't believed that in 2015 this is an issue. I feel like we are sliding backwards in time. Which is a shame considering how much we have grown as a society. But Beyond beyond

I was born in 1978 Des Moines Iowa and at 5 years of age started watching the Dukes of Hazzard show and since then I'm still to this day a Duke fan. There is nothing wrong with the confederate battle flag! I wish people would study there history in stead of listening to historically ignorant liberals / people that play the race card or Victim card when they don't get what they want! There was large numbers of volunteer blacks who signed up for the confederacy as well as Native American's and Spanish speaking persons as well! don't believe me look them up on Google photos! If you really want to get down to brass tacks The confederate battle flag is a Christian flag . It started it birth from Scotland as the ST. Andrews flag ! When Irish and Scottish Christian settlers came to America they brought with them the St. Andrews flag. The red and blue and white of the flag are patriotic colors and the flag also represents the southern struggle against a tyrant government. The civil war was about the southern states being forced to pay out unfair taxes AKA taxation with out representation. slavery played a small part in the war. You hold the criminal accountable for their actions not guns not flags ect!

Can we not, even if only this one time, simply let sleeping dogs lie?

It's stupid to take away a classic image of the old flag on the general. We grew up on this. It's what the South's all about. Tell me this, how many of you have or seen, someone paint there car like the general? We pulled for the good old boys. It means a lot to us.

It is hard to believe that there are so many uneducated people out there wanting to remove the confederate flag. Those people need to get educated! General Lee is the most iconic car of all time. Removing the flag on the General Lee is disrespectful, not only to the cast of the show but to many fans that come to love the show.

the average unknown soldier that died for the Confederacy was three times the man than your average sell out Republican today. Robert E. Lee was one of the greatest Americans that ever lived. GROW UP AMERICA

General Lee is one of the most recognized and iconic cars in television/movie history. The show, actors, nor the car promoted racism. Leave General Lee alone.
