Went to my local Hobby store today to buy a "Dukes of Hazard" 'General Lee' model kit to build with my son, only to find out that they have pulled them off the shelves...everywhere! Has this country gotten so soft that they have to censor everything, even model kits now? This has got to be one of the saddest things I've ever seen, because of a flag?!?! The guy at the shop told me that they have re-released the kit, but with the confederate flag decal removed from the kit. Are you kidding me??? So basically it's just an orange '69 Dodge Charger with an 01 on the doors and nothing more. So pathetic. People need to grow a thicker skin, really.

I understand what the symbology of the flag is and it is offensive to some people, but we need to draw a line somewhere with all the damn censorship. I guess it's what we get with a bleeding heart liberal running this country.

Nothing is stopping you from actually painting it on the top. Unless you believe Obama will take your paints away from you if he gets word of it.

Sure I could, but I shouldn't have to, that's the point. What are they going to do next, erase them all from the history books and try to act like they never existed?

Sorry they were also out of Nazi flags

Regardless of it's history, the Confederate Flag should NEVER be associated with the atrocities associated with the swastika. Yes there were crimes against humanity committed in the name of the south, but nothing compares to the genocide committed by the Nazi's. It isn't even close.

Painting will increase your creativity and allow you to get in touch with your "bleeding heart liberal" side.

Your hobby store is a private entity. It made the choice of not offering your toy conveyance. I can only believe they feel it would hurt their bottom line by keeping it on the shelves.

I hate censorship, but does anyone believe this actually happened to the OP?

Didn't happen at all, and if it did, he was just being an *** because he knew already they weren't selling them. Drama queen.

Is the show still on anywhere? If so, I'm sure someone is already applying for Gov't $$$ to rewrite Waylon's theme song.

By the way, not sure if the OP is seriously looking for a General Lee model kit, but there are more than ten pages of "General Lee" junk, including models, for sale on EBay...

Hell of a jam.

Hmmm... I don't know about that take, unless you're just ribbing him.

I'm guessing his kid is in the 8-12 range. You have to have patience and follow directions... sitting still while doing something with your Dad. IMO, it beats the constant TV and video games I see most kids doing, these days.

Wait a second pal. Everything you read, when Hitler came in to power he was good...They built tremendous highways and got all the factories going... Everybody knows he was good at the beginning but he just went too far.

Folks have thin skin for speaking out against a symbol of racism and treason but you're crying about a model car kit?

^ As usual, you missed the point. God, you've turned into an insufferable douche over the last year. Along with your buddy half way up the page, who has always been one.

You can literally choose from 100's of General Lee model car kits on eBay. Have no clue what the hell the OP is yammering about other than bitching about how he wishes it was still the 70's in Alabama and how all these fairies and coloreds are ruining america.

Why don't you get your kid a toy that preaches tolerance? I hear Hermaphfrodite Barbie or Tranny Ken are all the rage.
