Cliven Bundy stands by racially charged comments,

“I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro,” Bundy said during one of his daily press conferences. “ecause they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do? 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.”


What the hell is he talking about? We had a better family life as slaves !!!!! Most of our family members were separated and sold to other plantations. And you guys on the right support this clown !!!

The rats are now jumping ship...running like farts in the wind from this guy. Even the knuckledraggers from Fake News have backed off the guy.

OMG, another thread of someone offended by another's thought.
Yay!
 
Re: Bundy questioned whether blacks were better off as slaves

Ah damn I can't be sarcastic, seriously **** this guy, **** his supports, **** these militias, **** Sean Hannity for trying to turn this guy into a hero.

Its a shame that this could end in a shoot out that could cost the lives of several law enforcement officers, but the more of these ****s that die the better off we'd all be
 
Re: Bundy questioned whether blacks were better off as slaves

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."

This is absolutely priceless. Hannity looks like an even bigger idiot than normal.

Not offended....just an acknowledgment that the man is FITH. Seems like more of a "well duh" than being offended.;)

Thanks for poining that out. I missed the first and second times I checked. It has be such a big story I didn't expect to see it relinquished to a 10th place spot blurb.
 
Re: Bundy questioned whether blacks were better off as slaves

HA! The mainstream media is going to notice this story now.

Get those tanks and troops back there!

Re: Bundy questioned whether blacks were better off as slaves

Ut oh, its Media Matters it can't possibly true.

All hate-based websites mix in some actual articles.
 
Re: Bundy questioned whether blacks were better off as slaves

Well then... That's ah... An enlightened fellow right there.
 
Re: Bundy questioned whether blacks were better off as slaves

Yeah, but not by Fox.
 
Re: Bundy questioned whether blacks were better off as slaves

Who's offended by racism?

Yeah, really. It's not offensive, it's pathetic.
 
Re: Bundy questioned whether blacks were better off as slaves

Racism does not offend me...racists disgust me.

I'm trying to figure that one out. So Jim Crow laws in the south wouldn't have bothered you at all but anybody enforcing those laws would have disgusted you?
 
Re: Bundy questioned whether blacks were better off as slaves

Watch The Daily Show from last night.

Stewart filleted Hannity.

Made Glenn Beck look sane.;)

In trying to "figure it out", you went way off the reservation. But I suppose you're attempt to make a point[weak as it may be] was far more important to you than to convey to me your confusion.
