Scarborough Draws Comparison Between Cliven Bundy And George Zimmerman

[DonViejo]

CAITLIN MACNEAL – APRIL 24, 2014, 3:22 PM EDT
Joe Scarborough on Thursday said that the prominent conservatives must be feeling "exposed" now that their anti-government hero Cliven Bundy was quoted wondering if African-Americans would be "better off as slaves."

“This has happened before. It happened when conservatives raced blindly to put their arms around George Zimmerman, a man who they didn’t realize who gets in all these troubles," Scarborough said. "Because they basically pick their friends based on who their friends’ ‘enemies’ are. In this case, you have a lot of people in conservative media have raced to this guy’s defense. And they must be feeling very exposed this morning.”

The host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" blasted conservatives who decided "to go blindly in to champion the cause of someone like this."

"There’s nothing conservative about this man," he said. "This is where nihilism against the federal government as the basis of your ideology gets you in trouble every time." While many prominent Republicans rallied around the Nevada rancher after his standoff with the federal government over grazing fees, most have now condemned his recent comments.

2. I commend Joe Scab for nailing Bundy and his ilk as

"Nihilists" with respect to the federal government. The rest of the GOP needs to get out in front of this or they will look really stupid, especially trying to run for political offices they don't believe should exist.

This just proves how reactive and un-thoughtful the gop is today.
