And so the character assasination of Cliven Bundy Begins!!!!!

[Deborah K]

Remember what the opposition did to Phil Robertson? Many in the country stood up for his right to believe what he wants to believe, and A&E buckled under and put Duck Dynasty back on the air.

Bundy is putting civil disobedience into practice. Last night Nap stated on Hannity's show that there is nothing in the Constitution that gives the Federal gov't the right to ownership over land in the States. (eminent domain notwithstanding - this BLM issue does not pertain to eminent domain).

There is no doubt what he is doing, and the support he has gotten is a threat to the status quo. Naturally they are going to pull out all the guns (literally and figuratively). We've been bitching on this forum for years about gov't abuse, and now that people have finally had enough and are fighting back, are we going to just tuck tail and run because the opposition is gaining a little ground in the propaganda arena?

They definitely intend to go in hard now. First, they needed to polarize the man, so as to lend credibility to their excessive actions. Secondly, this is about destroying morale on our side.

 

[Deborah K]

Obviously, we all have our misgivings about Bundy's statements because we know the question he is raising is highly stigmatized, and yet none of us want to actually give up our status as a racially sensitive person by looking like a guy who just stepped out of a time machine from the 1950s South.

At the heart of it, though, I think every reasonable person on this board will admit to themselves (not out loud) that what Cliven said was correct and not meant to be racist. The problem is that you'll never, EVER convince Boobus of that.

We don't necessarily need to convince boobus of that. We just need to expose the double-standard.

just so you know...

Here's the 3:13 version.
Uh, he's still using the term "colored" too - also considered respectful at one time.
Very un-PC word usage, but by no means hateful.

 

[Badger Paul]

And Rand Paul couldn't have run from Cliven any faster than he did (all though to be fair he didn't exactly "embrace" him either).

But curious to see how fast Cliven's new "friends" stop being his friends after today.

All of this was so manufactured, it's sickening.

 

[donnay]

I believe they are doing this because he is a Mormon and they are using the stereo-typical notions they like to used against Mormons. The thing is, Glenn Beck and Dirty Harry Reid are Mormons too.

Beck and the NYT working together?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3148158/posts

Glenn Beck criticized Cliven Bundy’s comments on race on his radio program Thursday, saying the Nevada rancher is “unhinged from reality” and urging his supporters to “end your relationship” with him.

“He’s often wondered if black people would be better of as slaves?” Beck said on his program, after reading from Bundy’s comments on race reported by The New York Times. “End your relationship. End your relationship. If that doesn’t end your relationship with him, you have to go back and question where did you go wrong. You wondered if blacks were better off as slaves picking cotton and having a family life? They didn’t have a family life!”

William Norman Grigg: For Progressives, "Thoughtcrime: is Worse than Mass Murder

As any reasonably well-informed attorney knows, if a police officer follows a driver long enough he will witness a violation that supposedly justifies a traffic stop. Once this happens, the officer will “build the stop” by seeking a pretext to search the vehicle for evidence of violations that can lead to an arrest of the driver, or seizure of the vehicle and its contents.

Cliven Bundy, among others, can testify that Regime-oriented journalism operates in a very similar fashion: Have a reporter from the New York Times shadow a 67-year-old Mormon rancher from southeastern Nevada long enough, and eventually the subject will say something that offends current sensibilities about race. To be specific, Bundy used retrograde racial terminology in musing aloud about the damage done to the black family by the Welfare State—which he suggested might be as evil, in some ways, as the odious institution of chattel slavery.

Mr. Bundy is unusually media-savvy for a rancher, but he doesn’t speak in sound-bites. He wasn’t lamenting the fact that black Americans are no longer required to pick cotton for other people who supposedly “own” them, but that the modern welfare state has cultivated dependency, undermined the family, and helped to bring about both the a stratospherically high incarceration rate for black men and a shockingly high abortion rate for black unborn children (a development he wouldn’t lament if he genuinely hated black people).

That perspective could have been tidily packaged for media consumption in the following phrase: “The welfare state has done to black Americans what slavery could not have done, the harshest Jim Crow laws and racism could not have done, namely break up the black family.”

Those sentences were not uttered by a white rancher from Nevada, but by a black academic from Virginia – Dr. Walter Williams, to be specific. It takes a remarkable gift for dishonesty to accuse Dr. Williams of indulging in racism, but Ed Shultz – who serves as MSNBC’s left-wing analogue to Sean Hannity – was equal to that challenge. Shultz apparently doesn’t consider it to be an act of paternalistic racism for a white Progressive to tutor a black academic about matters of racial etiquette.


On April 11, the day before the “Battle of Bunkerville,” President Obama found time in a schedule cluttered with drone strikes against brown people overseas to address Al Sharpton’s National Action Network convention. Sharpton is man of many parts, nearly all of them loathsome. He is a shake-down artist, a racial incendiary, and – as we were recently reminded – an asset of the secret police.

The least objectionable facet of Sharpton’s record is his tax “evasion,” given that protecting one’s assets from theft is not a crime. That being said, I find it fascinating that on April 11 Mr. Obama was embracing as a role model a public figure said to owe millions of dollars in taxes, and on the next day his administration was prepared to kill a Nevada rancher described as a “deadbeat” because he refuses to pay grazing fees to a branch of government that is not constitutionally permitted to collect them.

This disparate treatment could easily be explained as a question of identity politics. J.D. Tuccille points out, the Obama-era Progressive movement insists that all anti-government activism is reductively racist. This could be seen as part of a cynical, murderous political deal struck early in Obama’s reign.

Several months into his first term, Barack Obama signed into law a “hate crimes” measurethat enriched the federal government’s power to investigate and punish improper thinking. That measure likewise diverted plundered funds to fill the troughs of left-wing pressure groups that gather intelligence on “thought criminals” on behalf of the Feds.

I'll be doing some tweeting to the media today to show that Prince Harry used the term "negro" to describe Obama at one time. I ask that others do the same. I'm also going on various websites and posting hateful messages from the opposition to expose the double-standard.

I hope others do the same. If enough people work to expose the double-standard, and to show this man uses old terminology and analogy because he is old, this won't get very far. We've already seen that 'push-back' is effective when done in numbers.

 

[KurtBoyer25L]

We don't necessarily need to convince boobus of that. We just need to expose the double-standard.

Bundy said, "(young black men go to jail because) they never learned to pick cotton."

THAT is an extremely racist & ugly remark.

You guys forget your individualism 101? You hold up a weird old racist rancher like he's a grand symbol of the Paul movement, that's a serious problem. People who might vote for Liberty candidates are lurking here, and all they see is a convoluted song & dance routine instead of the simple "ew, gross" that they should see. I'm afraid their are many RPF members who would like to say "ew, gross" and won't speak up because they'll be mocked & derided by the horde.

Be a rational human being & denounce hate speech from any source. Old racist white guys make horrible figureheads.

 

[AuH20]

Beck wants us to turn away, when the MSM and the federal behemoth is poised to lynch this man and his family? Is that the neighborly thing to do? Beck is a real piece of work.

Biggest coward on the planet.

Yesterday I had to explain to a bunch of progressives why protecting endangered species leads to their extinction. That was really easy.

I guess I should thank the NYT for giving me a more challenging debate topic for today.

I said to myself after the first interview that they are going to wait until this builds, then destroy this poor guy and then the "right" is going to bail on him.

I may have missed it (seriously....I don't make a habit of reading the NYTimes) but did the NYT make a similar big deal out of this??

Jay-Z Seen Wearing Controversial Medallion with Ties to Anti-White Five Percent Nation Group!

Jay Z was seen wearing this controversial medallion at a Brooklyn Nets game on April 1st, and we hope its appearance was some sort of April Fools' joke, even though its symbolism isn't any laughing matter.


The medallion carries the same symbol as the Five Percent Nation, an offshoot of the Nation of Islam, which touts that God is purely black, that he could be found in all black men (and not women), and that five percent of all people know the truth and are "poor righteous teachers" trying to inform the rest of the world.


On the Five Percent Nation, author Michael Muhammad Knight says that its teachings are extremely anti-white:
