Cliven Bundy: Conservative Icon Walks Back "Slavery" Comments

[vulgar_newcomer]

He's a blow hard dumb ass before the comments, and any one that supports his bullshit is even farther down the ladder. Bundy makes it sound like he should be worshiped and doing Americans a favor by producing food. As if its out of the goodness of his fried out heart. As usual he comes down on the poor slinging insults about takers and entitlements. He stands in front of expensive bridge holding a dead calf but fails to understand or acknowledge all the huge entitlements he already gets, like infrastructure to move his for profit product . All those people he cast shit on pay taxes if they drive a vehicle for expensive bridges out in the dumb fuck ville so he can be the tough do all by myself Rancher.
Always worth repeating.
Not all Republicans are bigots, but all bigots are Republican.

 

[chrisrobin]

I wonder if he'll do an interview on gay marriage .......

Only if he can discuss Zyklon-B.

We have some high-quality bigots here who are Democrats.

Not everyone that disagrees with you is a "bleeding heart liberal". Similarly, every "neofascist" isn't as jaded as you are. Even though the Foxes "backed off", (that's with a "b") the videos remain. I am not upset, but Roger Ailes and friends have shown their true colors and have generated a comedian's paradise - a good thing. "Bleeding heart liberals" being upset is your fantasy.

The trouble is, the Republicons keep trying to find a hero - someone to remove the sword from the stone. Glenn Beck tried to deify Patrick Henry until he found out that Henry was an atheist. We've had Duck Dynasty, Joe the Plumber, George Zimmerman and even the former governor of Alaska (AKA the quitter) and Timothy McVeigh. (Take away the Oklahoma City problem, and you would have had the perfect Republicon in McVeigh.) The latest attempt is Cliven Bundy. I'm sure that if Romney had won in 2012, Bundy would already have been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Or, they can always go after the ACA for the 52nd time!


What is a liberal?

Timothy McVeigh would be classified as a liberal.

LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling is a racist liberal.

Dan Rather is a racist liberal, Rev Al is a racist liberal, Jesse Jackson is a racist liberal, Bill Clinton is a racist liberal. They've all said things like this idiot in Nevada said --- why not jump all over them?

If you don't condemn them all then you can call yourself a hypocrite.

^ The spin machine is just into overdrive to try to cover over Bundy's naked racist remarks and speculation as to whether it wouldn't have been better to teach 'em how to pick cotton and keep 'em as slaves.

A large number of the quotes that the right wing nuts have gathered into the viral meme being re-tweeted by all the Stormfront blogs are only vaguely racist....and none of them are speculating about whether it would be better to enslave other humans.

24) “The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn’t. But she is a typical white person…” -- Barack Obama

25) “That’s just how white folks will do you. It wasn’t merely the cruelty involved; I was learning that black people could be mean and then some. It was a particular brand of arrogance, an obtuseness in otherwise sane people that brought forth our bitter laughter. It was as if whites didn’t know that they were being cruel in the first place. Or at least thought you deserving of their scorn.” -- Barack Obama

I mean. Really? This is what you equate Bundy's comments with?

And a large number of the other comments did bring down the wrath of other liberals and created a media feeding frenzy. So what is your point?

There is no equivalency here.

The charge stands. The right wing media clowns who thought that Bundy was their great white hope have been badly caught out and embarrassed by finding out that not only is the guy a crook and a cheat...that he is, as most of us could tell all along....a secessionist, white klan sympathizer. It is just that for a moment, he forgot he wasn't wearing a white sheet.

Timothy McVeigh would be classified as a liberal.

I am not aware of any "liberals" who would practice mass murder. This comment is just sick.

Most of your list doesn't rise to the level of Bundy's assertions, though some do.

But I don't think statement number 4 is racist at all -- it's just an observation.

Here's a couple you missed ...

"(Obama’s) a nice person, he’s very articulate this is what’s been used against him, but he couldn’t sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic." -- Dan Rather

“White folks was in the caves while we [blacks] was building empires … We built pyramids before Donald Trump ever knew what architecture was … we taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it." Al Sharpton

“You cannot go to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian Accent.” Joe Biden

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” Joe Biden

"I think the fact that you admire [Magic] -- I've known him well, and he should be admired," Sterling replies. "And I'm just saying that it's too bad you can't admire him privately. And during your ENTIRE FUCKING LIFE, your whole life, admire him -- bring him here, feed him, fuck him, I don't care. You can do anything. But don't put him on an Instagram for the world to see so they have to call me. And don't bring him to my games. OK?" Don Sterling

All democrats and all sharing their racist views.

My end comment . . . Bundy is an idiot for grazing his cattle on government property and not expect to pay for it.

 

[Jack Springer]

I am not aware of any "liberals" who would practice mass murder. This comment is just sick.

The biggest mass murderer on record in the USA is a liberal . . Kermit Gosnell. Gosnell was convicted of killing 7 babies after they were born and breathing on their own. It is widely accepted that he probably killed thousands of living, breathing babies in his clinic in the decades he 'practiced medicine'.

He kept jars, bags, and jugs of baby parts on display in his office and provided cleaner rooms for white women than black women.

Read a little about this kind, loving liberal .....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermit_Gosnell

Sorry, there's not a lot of information about Gosnell ... since his trial was basically ignored by the national media.

 

[Zu-Mendel]

So now we are utilizing the specter of serial killers, mass murderers, and the criminally insane so we can zing people we disagree with on the internet.

I expect this kind of crap out of some people on this board, but we might want to think twice before throwing names like McVeigh around as if we can compare the man to those we disagree with.

As usual, you missed the point completely.

None of these comments still rise to the level of Bundy's racist fantasy that he might still own slaves.

 

[MoufOfKhaos]

Funny how Timothy McVeigh would be "classified" as a "liberal" when he was a registered Republican and part of the NRA who happened to vote Libertarian at one point.

But do go on being wrong as usual, Jack. OF course, this had to be dragged off topic, but that's to be expected when a racist defends another racist by trying to say "well, everyone else might be racist!"...

Jack you forgot to bring up the fact that gay serial killer John Wayne Gacy became very active with the local Chicago Democratic Party and actually met with First Lady Rosalyn Carter in 1978. How could you let that example go by??? You're slipping.

They ALL rise to the same level. I don't think you understand racism.

I know you don't understand why liberals are so wishy-washy when it comes to honesty in race relations.

Bullshit. And this is why the right wing apologists for republican and libertarian racists look so stupid when they try to find moral or intellectual equivalencies where few or none exist.

I don't know why all the virtual sheet wearing Klansmen, masquerading as 'not racists' (Visit Stormfront) that are the backbone of the southern and mid-west US Republican strategy also just don't own it and form a party where they can sit around and circle jerk over how wonderful it would be if there were no non-whites to threaten their misguided entitlement complex.

At least the Republicans wouldn't always have to be sniffing their asses to see if they are the means to power.

"ALL"?

No. Some, yes, but hardly all.

.... libertarian racists ....

That's a contradiction in terms.

If we went with abolishing Congressional districts and elected representatives statewide, you could count on them doing so.

The KKK at it's most popular time was filled with democrats.

I know it's hard for you to accept that liberals can be racists. Maybe we should call the 'closet liberal racists'.

Racists come in all colors, all ages, and from all political views.
