Straight up right wing racism

Immediately after Cliven Bundy’s racist rant surfaced in the New York Times, right wing shills all over the Internet started trying to spin it; more than one of them tried to outright deny he said it, because the quotes appeared in the New York Times and we all know how evil they are.

But lo and behold, the video of his ugly tirade has now come to light. And it’s even worse than reading it; Bundy pronounces the word “negro” as “nigra,” because of course he does.

Cliven Bundy questioned whether black Americans were “better off as slaves” or “better off under government subsidy.” His remarks initially appeared in a New York Times article on April 23.

Yep. I’ve heard this bullshit before. As I said downstairs, that thing about “…..sitting on the porch” - yeah, that’s a thinly-veiled racial epithet, one I haven’t heard in a long time.

Nice dog whistle you got there, Bundy.

*headdesk*

Bundy Explains ‘Negro’ Remarks: ‘I’m Wondering’ If They’re ‘Better Off Being Slaves’

Cliven Bundy, … on The Peter Schiff Show today …

“I’m wondering are they happier now under this government subsidy system than they were they were slaves when they were able to have a family structure together… and the people have something to do.”

Bundy then asked, “Are they better off being slaves in that sense or are they better off being slaves of the United States government in the sense of a subsidy?”

On a lark, decided to check Prison Planet to see if Jones or one of his useful idiots has commented on this story, as Jones was saying on his show that Cliven insisted no video existed and wanted NYT to retract the quotes. Lo & behold, there’s not a single story about Bundy until way down near the bottom of the front page.

I was unaware that “Explains” now meant “Dig oneself in deeper.”

Oh, this just gets better by the hour:

Bundy Tries To Clarify His Slavery Remarks: ‘I’m Not Racist’

The crashing and tire squealing you just heard was Sean Hannity diving out the nearest window and driving away from Bundy, Simpsons-style.

12 darthstar  Apr 24, 2014 10:24:56am

I was telling my still-sleepy wife about Bundy and chuckling about Chait’s “Why does this keep happening to Rand Paul’s heroes?” line, and the following discussion followed:

- they were slaves when they were able to have a family structure together…

Yes, I am sure when they were separated and sold to different masters than their children and spouses they were delighted. WTF?

15 Targetpractice  Apr 24, 2014 10:26:34am

“I did not say that.”

“Cliven, we have you on video.”

“Well now, let me explain my comments…”

16 Mattand  Apr 24, 2014 10:26:50am

Anyone know Sean Hannity’s Twitter handle? There’s some trolling of a racist enabler to be done.

“And tonight on Hannity, we are going to spend the next hour reexamining the Benghazi tragedy…..”

re: #7 Targetpractice

Here’s the full quote:

Host: “You want to clarify those remarks?”

Cliven Bundy: “Yes. You know, what I said — I’m wondering. And you know, Glenn Beck, he has something on the internet, or news, and he uses the word ‘I’m wondering’ and when they come to me I said that’s exactly what I said. I’m wondering if they’re better off under government subsidy and their young women are having the abortions, and their young men are in jail, and their older women and their children are standing, sitting out on the cement porch without nothing to do. You know, I’m wondering, are they happier now under this government subsidy system than they were when they were slaves and they was able to have their family structure together, chickens in the garden and the people had something to do? And so, in my mind, I’m wondering , are they better off being slaves in that sense, better off being slaves to the United States government in the sense of subsidies? I’m wondering, that’s what — the statement was right. I am wondering.”

[edit: changed the attribution from ‘Peter Schiff’ to just ‘Host’ since apparently someone else was guest subbing in]

It should also be pointed out that Bundy feels two of the people who can get the public on his side are Alex Jones and Sean Hannity.

At this point, Hannity is basically Jones with a nicer suit and a better paying job.

The Peter Schiff show, being guest-hosted by Tom Woods, founding member of the League of the South. I’m sure Cliven was perfectly understood.

So, found out from my Imam that in OKC, that there are more single men then women. And that 4 people have looked at the marriage application and said no.

There will be a mingling a event in the fall. Hopefully that will change things. Are there any singles events through any of the national organizations in neighboring states?

He also advised I need a better job or Masters. Problem is, I take job rejections personally, and my GPA wasn’t the greatest.

Sorry, needed to vent.

Here’s the full quote:

And I’m wondering how in the fuck he thinks that in any way makes him anything other than a racist. Though I guess his supporters will soon try to argue that he’s from a “simpler time” and thus he can’t be blamed for being “un-PC” or some such BS.

“IT’S NOT ABOUT BUNDY!!!”

(The fuck it ain’t.)

27 Mike Lamb  Apr 24, 2014 10:34:20am

Oh…I see…he’s just “wondering”. He’s not saying they were better off as slave, just that he’s got some questions about it.

Yep, just like Snowden was such a stand-up guy until it turned out he was a lying little weasel, then suddenly it was never about him, but about his allegations.

At this point, Bundy is a dirtbag criminal with a child’s understanding of both the Constitution and reality. He’s also an affront to every law-abiding citizen in the country, rancher or otherwise.

If there’s any delay here, it’s most likely because the feds need an airtight plan to keep this from turning into the Ruby Ridge Part 2 this asshole, Fox News, and half the Republican Party so desperately wants.

I don’t want to see a repeat of that; both for the needless waste of life and the possible creation of a Tea Bag martyr.

That said, if this dipshit gets seriously hurt, it’s his own fucking fault.

A Jesus-loving Christian mother who posts selfies with her boobs hanging out. If that actually is a selfie and not just some big boobed cowgirl downloaded from some pr0n site.

The funny part is that Freepers for hours said this didn’t exist, because, their software is so old, you can’t display a video there. Even after it was linked several times, they didn’t go watch.

FR is basically the “Jitterbug” of internet forums (same audience too)

Who’s going to pay $340,000 a year for a jitterbug?

Oh yeah, freepers.
