You guys had all the fun, I never had a drunk uncle. In fact, my uncles were all too sober.

I have an uncle who liked to take out his dentures too. Even when not drunk. Beats CNN any day.

Could be a full shopping cart of beer. That would still qualify as 'some.' Obviously we may need to do some field work to determine the exact amount necessary.

So some redneck from Hicksville, Nevada spouts run-of-the-mill racism. Who would have thunk it? I wish the media concentrated on how that arsewipe fought the feds in court for twenty years, lost every single case and then refused to participate in any further court proceedings. This kind of puts the appearance of the BLM on federal land into proper perspective.

Also, Bundy's foot-in-mouth comment was a minute segment of his recorded 67 minute media event, and there is plenty more important crap to report than his totally unremarkable racism. If you go to about the 25 minute mark, for instance, you'll see that Bundy is a fully blown sovereign citizen nutter: "You cannot ask the President of the United States for your land back. You cannot ask Congress for your land back and you can't expect the judical (sic) system to give your land back." "Why not?" he asks his supporters rhetorically. Well, the obvious answer is: "because we already have it. You can't ask for something you already have." ... "They can't give you something you already have. Very simple." ... "We own this land."

That idiocy - as well as the 20 years' worth of court cases Bundy lost, his refusal to attend court proceedings from then on, and his refusal to continue paying even the token grazing fee of $1.35 per head of cattle per month - is to me what the media ought to focus on, not some racist remark that could have been uttered by any of the other redneck down his way..

You would think it would be just as outrageous.

Personally, my thoughts were that they should go arrest him and anyone else who was an armed participant in his thuggery.

While his racism is the cherry on top of the shit sundae that is Cliven Bundy, I don't think he should be arrested for that.

Yah, what you said.

It's the Paula Dean nonsense from last year all over again. The real story was the extremely hostile work environment she and her brother ran, but as soon as she overstepped the boundaries of polite acceptable dogwhistle racism, the media, glad to be free of the responsibility to report on anything that would require actual analysis, ran with "Paula Dean said a bad word!"

Is he being a genius though, or just copying Andy Borowitz?

From April 24th:
Borowitz Report: Republicans Blast Nevada Rancher for Failing to Use Commonly Accepted Racial Code Words

Quote:
“We Republicans have worked long and hard to develop insidious racial code words like ‘entitlement society’ and ‘personal responsibility,’ ” said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky). “There is no excuse for offensive racist comments like the ones Cliven Bundy made when there are so many subtler ways of making the exact same point.”

It looks like the US gained possession by breaking a treaty from the 1800's by claiming 'trustee' in the 1990's after the land owners didn't sell out. The US literally paid the US for the land.

lol, no

Arizona (for the most part) was Shoshone by treaty with the US. Arizona in its statehood declared the US in control of US property within Arizona. (strange thing historically)

This in no way invalidates the Treaty between Shoshone and the US.

Quote:
After the ICC decision, the U.S. offered money in exchange for Western Shoshone title. When they refused to accept the money, the U.S. took the extraordinary step of accepting it on their behalf, claiming to be their "trustee." The U.S. Supreme Court upheld this in United States v. Dann, 470 U.S. 39 (1985), stating that "the Shoshone's aboriginal title has been extinguished" because the U.S. accepted the money from itself on behalf of the Western Shoshone.
