Ha my pony is slow and dead, but lol Bundy

BBBBUUUNNNDDDDYYYYY

I'm going to start a "We Won't Let You Say Racist Things To The Media" public relations firm aimed at conservatives. I plan on being richer than the Koch brothers in three years.

Alright, I didn't even read the rest of your post, but this statement is one of the most moronic things I've ever read. Every rancher ever has worked harder than you ever have in a single day of your miserable life

Are racist remarks even a political problem at this point? These guys probably get the best of both worlds where they denounce the "regrettable" remarks or whatever so that the somewhat less racist crowd will be mollified while the true racists won't actually be turned off by some denouncement because they know "what people actually think." The right wing seems to have taken a position that "maybe slavery wasn't so bad" so I'm hardly shocked when people make statements like this anymore. Black people want welfare, white people want to work hard is basically policy at this point.

Do you guys think the reporter started salivating as soon as Bundy said the n word?

Oh Lordy, chiefsplanet is going to bat for this guy. I shouldn't t be surprised, but damn.

I have said for ~5 years now, ever since RP MANIA 2008, like you could start an incredibly profitable PR firm directed at racial sensitivity training for aspiring right-wing politicians. Would not even be hard, no special knowledge required, just like common sense for how not to be a total jackass. Suggested sessions and breakout group topics include:

"Don't Call Them 'The Negros': The History of Words Meaning Things"
"Black People Don't Like It When You Say They Are All Lazy and on Welfare: A Case Study on Human Nature""
"Genetics and Your Pet Views on Genetic Inherent Inferiority: Better Left Unsaid"
"Slavery: Wasn't Actually Good for Blacks After All"
"Basketball: A Fun Sport To Watch and Play, In Fact"
"The Civil War: Why Everyone Else Thinks the Good Guys Won"
"Zip a Dee Doh Dah, My Oh My, Blacks Aren't Inferior in Every Way (Film Study): A Screening of a bootleg copy of Song of the South and an Explanation for Why Disney Won't Release It For Public Consumption"

Maybe at the end of it you have a nice meet n' greet networking session with actual black people where aspiring right-wing politicians can try talking to them without offending them, total moneyback guarantee if you can't do it.

lol, awesome post

You'll never make money if you're refunding everything.

Touche.

hahahahahaha

Like, Karl Rove managed to rob $300 million from establishment Reublicans last election alone. Whoever is the Tea Party/Libertarian version of Karl Rove could easily make double that using DVaut's buisness plan.

Dvault just wafflecrushing the thread.

Samples plz.

bawhahahah, say what you will about Chait, sometimes he's good. References a classic Onion article that explains everything about everything. Hat tip to huehuecoytl for linking to it in the LC thread:

A classic Onion article and perfectly apt here: Why Do All Our Friends, Coworkers, Ghostwriters and Political Champions Turn Out to be Abject Racists? By Rand and Ron Paul

Just a note- I noted with surprise that Glenn Beck (as shown on a clip in the Daily Show) actually pointed out on his program that he thinks the rancher is wrong here and is a moocher.

When Glenn Beck is against your side and you're a RW nutjob, you gotta wonder.

and this is coming from a man who has 14 kids

Chiefsplanet gold:

I love how this unintentionally links back to a Rambo thread in BBV4L from 2009

In the same vein, The National Review goes to bat for Bundy saying his views on race can be separated out from his anti federal views.

Fair enough, but let's go to the tape

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histo...avery_in_Texas

Oh wow it's almost like Texans anti federal stance towards the Mexican government was also tied up in slavery and its continuation.

Of course the National Review writer doesn't praise the Alamo because the Texas government would have continued slavery but it's indicative of how this anti federal sentiment has historically been tied to white supremacy and the continuation of oppression of minorities and how blind right wingers can be to the wider context.

More CP gold:

Hard to copy paste on the phone, but you can go to the cp forum and lurk and see for yourself.

I 100% agree with your points. The risk/reward on this is SO bad for the Republicans. What would happen to a politicians career if these guys started shooting and killed/wounded some suddenly heroic fed... and the feds fired back and a bunch of random women/children/and imbeciles got killed?

That would be the end of that guys career. Say what you want about Glenn Beck, he's not a moron. Every imbecilic position he ever took was carefully calculated. He's incredibly cynical not stupid. And he got in front of this by calling this guy a criminal with no respect for property rights immediately.
