Default Clive Bundy, Living Caricature of Libertopian.

This just keeps getting better. LOL! Another lolbert nut job the right embraces to idolize blows up in their faces.

Cliven Bundy wonders if black people were “better off as slaves”

Quote:
“I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro,” he said. Mr. Bundy recalled driving past a public-housing project in North Las Vegas, “and in front of that government house the door was usually open and the older people and the kids — and there is always at least a half a dozen people sitting on the porch — they didn’t have nothing to do. They didn’t have nothing for their kids to do. They didn’t have nothing for their young girls to do.
“And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do?” he asked. “They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.”
As you might expect, at least one of the lawmakers who had supported Bundy quickly condemned his remarks. You can probably expect other lawmakers to follow suit.
UPDATE: And now the prominent Republican leaders who have publicly supported Bundy are backing away from him. Jaime Fuller has more on Post Politics.
:lol:

"The Negro" being code for that half-black secret mooslin Kenyan usurper in the WHITE House. I bet Obama never picked a boll of cotton in his life.

I noted that Senator Jim "Redfaced Redneck" Inhofe (R-OK) has said publically, regarding the Bundy situation, "Both sides are wrong." No, Senator, Bundy is not only wrong, but an outlaw running cattle roughshod over land that doesn't belong to him.

Burning Man organizer plans anything-goes ‘Bundyfest’ to mock scofflaw rancher

Quote:
“Some people have asked me, where will we camp, where will we park?” Shealy said. “Anywhere, really. It’s fucking anarchy.”

The Facebook page for the event promises no permits will be required, full nudity will be permitted, and the atmosphere will be gay-friendly.

However, Shealy warned, no bathroom facilities would be provided.

“You’re free to let it all hang out right there, just like Bundy’s cattle, right there in the Virgin River, if you want to,” Shealy said.

Organizers also plan a “penis erection contest,” where participants will be awarded prizes for the largest phallic structure built in the desert.

Shealy said organizers expect about 50,000 people to show up in the desert near Bundy’s home.

Having seen what it takes to get 50k people out to the desert, I highly doubt this will hit even a fraction of that. On the other hand, knowing the type of people who make it out to 4th of Juplaya, another unofficial Burningman event in the desert, I expect these hippies to be more armed than Bundy cruising around in mad max style cars shaped like giant penises.

It would be better if most of them were Neeegros.

I don't think he'll see the irony when he calls the sheriff to have the trespassers removed because there are too many people and they are ruining the land.

If it's just a bunch of dope-smoking hippies out there, the government will send in armed officers en mass and spray the shit out of them with pepper spray before arresting them. They wussed out on Bundy's cowardly militia. I say bring on the armored vehicles and bust his deadbeat ass for incitement to riot and arrest anyone that interferes. They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That's the Chicago way.

Sorry you took this all wrong and were offended.

Quote:
"Maybe I sinned, and maybe I need to ask forgiveness, and maybe I don't know what I actually said, but when you talk about prejudice, we're talking about not being able to exercise what we think. ... If I say Negro or black boy or slave, if those people cannot take those kind of words and not be (offended), then Martin Luther King hasn't got his job done yet," he told anchor Chris Cuomo on Friday, adding, "We need to get over this prejudice stuff."
Seriously, what's this Martin Luther King guy been up to lately. Lazy negro should be finishing what he started so people wouldn't be all offended.

Yes Hannity can just like every other Republican can.

Republicans are racists? No it's just all a big coincidence

See Republicans are individuals and Liberals are a hive mind group.

I was getting my nails done and they had CNN on mute with the closed captions and it was Wolf and the other two people talking about this. I don't know what show that is, it's like fox and friends but on CNN. They kept cutting to the guy making stupid remarks and then coming back and talking about how this shouldn't be news and that he's just like any other racist militia guy, but he somehow got the national spotlight and he's using it to add his voice to the conversation. (Wouldn't we all?) Then they said he was going to give yet another press conference, and I wondered whether CNN planned on showing it.

Of course they'll show it. That's what CNN does: transmitting live press conferences instead of giving us the fucking cliff notes like a journalist is supposed to.

It's almost as if what every person says is of equal value. It's lazy journalism, "We report, you decide."

It's not journalism at all IMO. You could have a live press conference channel and just leave it at that.

Well yeah, but then you still need to have someone decide which press conferences are worth airing. I think "breaking: racist asshole will continue to say racist shit as long as there are cameras in his face" isn't really news, which is exactly what they were saying. So it's like, then how about quit sticking cameras in this guy's face?

If he was taking about his cattle or the land or the case in question, that'd be one thing. But at this point it seems the story is now "look at this asshole, he's still trying to defend his racist opinions" and it's like, nobody cares! We can all get that from our drunk uncles on holidays.
