You know, a lot of right-wingers have been voicing their disbelief about Cliven Bundy’s horridly racist comments about “negroes.” Since the concept of print journalism, as is the case with the Times, evades the right-wing, they have been vehemently opposing any idea that their hero could possibly be a racist – to the point of insanity.

1. Bundy could be a mass murdering, child raping terrorist, as long as he is anti Obama, the right

will love him...there is very little he could do to make them not love him.

This applies to anyone, you can be guilty of anything but if you hate Obama, they love you

[Marshall III]

2. The "where's the tape" talk has been all over Free Republic today as well.

Bundy is doing a great job illuminating for the country the fact that the Tea Party is a bunch of self-absorbed, entitlement hungry, violent, racists. Anything we can do to keep him talking is a gift to liberalism and America!!!!!!

4. The tea baggers have always been george wallace left overs. The only difference is that the media

mostly gives them a free pass today

[Dawson Leery]

3. Anyone who came to the defense of this racist militia thug

must not be allowed to back out of their support. The Paul's/Hannity etc....should all be considered supporters of a subversive movement against the duly elected President Obama .

6. Bundy’s Racist Rant puts Supporters on Defense

A spokesman for Mr. Paul, informed of Mr. Bundy’s remarks, said the senator was not available for immediate comment. Chandler Smith, a spokesman for Mr. Heller, said that the senator “completely disagrees with Mr. Bundy’s appalling and racist statements, and condemns them in the most strenuous way.” A spokeswoman for Mr. Abbott, Laura Bean, said that the letter he wrote “was regarding a dispute in Texas and is in no way related to the dispute in Nevada.”

So I’m forced to wonder what the avid Bundy supporters that regularly attack us on social media, for reporting the truth about Bundy, will have to say. I’m sure some will disavow him. Others, however, will reconcile their continued cognitive dissonance and find a way to either claim these views are NOT inherently racist, OR they’ll say something along the lines of… “his views on race have nothing to do with the real issue.”

Of course they’ll do anything EXCEPT recognize that the real issue is that he’s a law breaker. A swindler, a liar, a cheat and NOW….. A racist too. Who could have ever guessed?

5. Has anyone found that Facebook thread? I'm looking but I can't find it. I'd like

to respond to those clueless confederate Bundy lovers.

14. I've been looking around there but cannot find the specific comments that are

portrayed in your OP. I've pretty much given up finding them. I suspect they are swallowing their words by now while still clinging to their stupidity.

Thanks!

15. I went through a few threads too

Perhaps AATTP just got fed up with the flood of racist comments and removed the entire thread.

7. But Bundy asked the NYT to withdraw this story

Here is Bundy's clarification which does not help his case http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/bundy-explains-slavery-remarks

I'm wondering if they're better off under a government subsidy and their young women are having the abortions and their young men are in jail and their older women and children are sitting out on the cement porch without nothing to do.
I'm wondering: Are they happier now under this government subsidy system than they were when they were when they were slaves and they was able to their family structure together and the chickens and the garden and the people have something to do.

So in my mind, are they better off being slaves in that sense or better off being slaves to the United States government in the sense of the subsidy. I'm wondering. The statement was right. I am wondering.

11. I'm sure he'll be absolved

He has Hannity in his corner

8. Lawless Rancher's Slavery Comments Echo Conservative Media Rhetoric

April 24, 2014
HANNAH GROCH-BEGLEY

Cliven Bundy's abhorrent, racist comparison of slavery to federal poverty assistance bears a striking resemblance to common claims from conservative media, who have frequently invoked slavery to describe the supposed damage "the welfare state" has done to black Americans.

Nevada rancher Bundy, who was praised by conservative media for engaging in an armed standoff with federal agents after refusing to pay decades worth of federal grazing fees on public land, on April 19 questioned whether black Americans were "better off as slaves" or "better off under government subsidy," telling a reporter in a racist rant:

"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 Slate's Jamelle Bouie noted, Bundy's repugnant rhetoric sounds familiar -- it's the same logic behind many right-wing criticisms of the social safety net. Media Matters has been tracking this type of offensive rhetoric for years.

During the fight over health care reform, Rush Limbaugh claimed that "It won't be a matter of whether you have coverage or don't have coverage. What'll matter is that all of us will be slaves; we'll become slaves to the arbitrary and inhumane decisions of distant bureaucrats working in Washington where there's no competition, nobody you can go to if you don't like what you hear from the bureaucrats that you have to deal with."

9. Just having video proof won't help. Teapublicans know what they know..............

I can hear it now.

This is just another liberal fake job trying to make this good rancher look bad.
They can do wonders with computers these days.
They did Star Wars almost 50 years ago with computers.
They even faked the moon landing!
If it wasn't on Fox................

And a tip of the hat to the first who appends a Teapublican op that says the video was fake.

10. That man is a living caricature.

12. so is he still a hero to the folks at FOX?

Fox Goes Silent On Bundy After Racist Tirade

April 24, 2014
JUSTIN BERRIER





Fox News' incessant promotion of Cliven Bundy abruptly ended after the Nevada rancher's racist rant was published in The New York Times.

Bundy's public feud with the Bureau of Land Management over his refusal to pay grazing fees received extensive support from Fox News, which devoted nearly five hours of primetime coverage to the story, including numerous interviews with Bundy and his family. Sean Hannity provided him so much positive coverage, Bundy praised the Fox News host as a "hero."

That praise fell silent after Bundy used one of his daily press conferences to engage in an overtly racist tirade, claiming black people "abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton" and suggesting that they were better off under slavery. The day after Bundy's rant was published in The New York Times, Fox News' coverage of Bundy ended rapidly.

By noon on April 24, Fox had mentioned the rancher only twice, and never covered his racist comments. On Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy drew a parallel between Bundy's standoff and the situation of two Texas landowners, and Fox's Andrew Napolitano told viewers to "forget the battle in Nevada" to focus on events in Texas instead.

While Fox News did not cover Bundy's comments, Fox host Greta van Susteren spoke out on her blog, highlighting the Times' article and noting "Let me make this plain: I condemn what Cliven Bundy said about African Americans."

16. Roll the tape over and over

Maybe these white right-wingers will believe it if they see it enough times.
