"Koch Brothers Group Wipes Cliven Bundy Support From Social Media Accounts"

Koch Brothers Group Wipes Cliven Bundy Support From Social Media Accounts

WASHINGTON -- Americans for Prosperity Nevada, the state affiliate of the Koch Brothers-backed group, appears to have hastily deleted social media posts expressing support for Cliven Bundy, the renegade rancher who exposed himself as a racist in recent press conferences.

A tweet sent by AFP Nevada on April 10 urging followers to read more about the #BundyBattle, which involves Bundy's refusal to pay fines for allowing his cattle to graze on public land, has been deleted. A Facebook graphic that the group posted criticizing the Bureau of Land Management for enforcing grazing laws against Bundy has similarly disappeared.

Previously, the page read: "The BLM spent HOW MUCH to round up cattle? ONE MILLION DOLLARS." As of Friday afternoon, it reads: "This content is currently unavailable"

AFP Nevada, a anti-government, libertarian organization, did not immediately return a request for comment. But the group is the latest to join the massive, frantic stampede of political organizations and media figures distancing themselves from Bundy in the wake of his comments. Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Dean Heller (R-Nev.) both condemned the rancher's remarks, and various Fox News personalities called them repugnant as well.

really racist to be in this party" and the dam will burst and the self-knowledge will flow. Because one thing the GOP loves doing is bait the democrats, get them to make general comments about GOPers that some less extreme GOPers then say "hey - Democrats are slurring me as racist and I'm just a good person who only doesn't want black babies to be aborted". With Bundy, the new GOP star & story, and his slavery remarks, that deniability in the GOP coalition evaporates.

Republicans are great at lying and hiding the truth. Kockroaches already slithering under rocks leaving Bundy to issue his own brand of racist insanity.

Bad for ratings. Could hurt the bottom line. Scrub that page good!
