Nevada Ranch Armed Standoff - Everyone vs The Feds

[sportage]

Ohhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!
With this little turn of events i.e. Bundy's mouth, we now see what this stand off was really all about.
Bundy wasn't concerned that he was a law breaker and a dead beat, Bundy was afraid that the N ... N ... N ... N..ormal law abiding people were coming after him.

And yes... Fox knew EXACTLY what this guy was really all about from day one.
They just were caught blind sided when Bundy let the cat out of the bag.
Oh well Faux...Rush... right wing nuts...
Another day, another mission.

Righties just can't help it. Just another entitled yahoo who thinks he is above everyone else and gets on a huge victim trip when called out for their projection.

Utterly unsurprising.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

According to some in here Democrats are to the right of center, does that make them righties too?

Yes.

...like what exacly?

The enlightenment would be the most prominent example. It shaped a wave of political reforms throughout Europe and is responsible for many of the liberties we are currently taking for granted. From there however the enlightenment produced many radically different outcomes ; America has weathered the years in superior fashion compared to contemporaries with links to enlightenment thinking. . . Which is a powerful message to be found in the history of western civilization in my opinion.

Big story going since yesterday ................

I love how the right wing has its panties in a wad over Eric Holder 'not upholding laws', but support this lawless, racist man. Classic.

 

[JManInPhoenix]

Sadly this thread is just not as interesting anymore without Stewox's "contributions".

 

[sportage]

Just a thought..
Is it yet too late for the Feds to just blow this bigot away?
To clarify, Hannity.

 

[Gonad the Barbarian]

The Republicans stood up for this guy? Now most GOP future presidential candidate need to distance themselves from guys like him. The GOP needs to look forward to the future to win voters, this guy represents the past.

I'm not sure this guy isn't the next GOP presidential candidate.

Prior to slavery comments, Bundy said minority groups are ‘against us’

Oh I'm fairly certain some idiot will parade him around like Joe the Plumber. I'd almost bet on it. Almost.

I listened to The Five on the way home. Had Hannity on as a guest. They didn't even touch the Clive issue. They spent a segment on Hannity rehabilitation. Sean's a successful talk show host. Sean's knows black people so he isn't a racist. Sean is a good husband.

Laughable. Fox News is hoping this just goes away.

BTW all those cowardly Republicans who jumped on the Bundy bandwagon who are now moonwalking away from him didn't have the guts to say it themselves.

All issued statements via spokespersons.

And they have the nerve to be surprised by this? Continuing to make a comfortable home for racists.

Fox News will never admit they are in bed with the likes of Bundy

I'm a Democrat at the moment, but I voted for Reagan, twice.

You figure it out.

Stewox was good for laughs, I guess he got sick of getting beat on.

 

[Carson Dyle]

Turns out the guy is a world class douchebag. Who would have guessed?

Fuck him. Send in the troops with guns ablaze and let the coyotes have the pieces of his corpse that they don't find.

 

[emperus]

Just heard his clarification of his comments. Wow. They are even worse when spoken.

nice, i thought you were just saing pretty words

btw....i have diferent opinion about freedom, more a binary thing that we can or can't do... and well, there is nothing stoping the enlightenment to happen, but a stupid society

 

[CanOWorms]

Shocking. An elderly, rural, conservative, white male who associates with far-right secessionist militia groups is a racist.

This country badly needs a Department of Assimilation to help people like this man to become Americans. Way too many people like Bundy have seceded from mainstream America. It's getting really bad when recent Somalian refugees are basically more assimilated into American society than a 67-year-old who was born here.

 

[Victorian Gray]

The conservative response:

Yeah, where are all the forum supporters of this 'patriot' now? Couple of days ago they couldn't trumpet his goodness and patriotism loudly enough.

 

[Jaskalas]

The conservative response:

I'll repeat what I said early on, after gathering the facts, and what is still my judgement.

1: Nevada should own the land.
2: State should let things quiet down and then demand payment.
3: If he refuses, arrest him.
4: If still afraid of violence, you declare him a fugitive.
5: Anyone who goes to the ranch is aiding and abetting a fugitive / should be arrested.

 

[John Connor]

My Conservative response (*and not just me but Hannity) is that the fed fuckers were over stepping their bounds and now they are playing this horse shit with a ranch in Texas. ARE THEY NUTS!? You don't fuck with Texas.

And BTW, Hannity spoke out against his bigot comments. But no one here would know because you all watch MSNBC shit or the Communist News Network.

Fuck me! Just Google Hannity and you will see the lame stream media BS about Hannity. Did they not watch tonight's show???

 

[MongGrel]

Who cares about Hannity.

Oh, wait a minute.

 

[John Connor]

Who cares? Well he smashes the ratings, that's who cares. LOL

 

[CanOWorms]

Who cares? Well he smashes the ratings, that's who cares. LOL

So, white supremacists?

Remember Paul Ryan's comments last month? Compare them to Bundy:
Ryan:

“this tailspin of culture, in our inner cities in particular, of men not working and just generations of men not even thinking about working or learning the value and the culture of work.”

Bundy:

"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," he said.

"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?

The defense:

His son, Ammon Bundy, told Reuters by telephone on Thursday that he believes his father's plain, unsophisticated way of speaking left him misunderstood.

"He's a rancher. He's not a professional speaker. ... His vocabulary is a rancher's vocabulary," the son said.

In a sense, he is right. Old Clive was just clumsy in his repetition of the common GOP refrain and gave up the game.

But we do hear him quite well. We heard what Ryan was saying too, even if he is also claiming to be misunderstood and really didn't say all that obviously racially tinged judgmental garbage.

Who cares? Well he smashes the ratings, that's who cares. LOL

The ratings of a media where the average viewer age is 68.
