Nevada Rancher Hilarity: The Tragic Death of Y'All Qaeda's Tarp Man - Page 14 - Politics and Economics

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.

It's a viable idea but your treatment is nothing but the standard liberal education which has already been applied thoroughly and to which they remain completely resistant. Recall Strom Thurmond who sired a child with a black woman and still maintained the mind exploding contradiction that he was human but they weren't.

No, you would have to go full Clockwork Orange on them if you want to see results.

"I would appreciate that. I think they should do that," Bundy said. "They're making it a racist-type thing. I'm not racist."

Man, that's pretty weak even by right-wing libertarians walking back racist comments standards. Might it be that this guy actually has 0 black friends to reference?

I had this theory after the Paula Deen thing. Once you've got racist comments on record, the best way to make money is just to embrace it. Don't backtrack, keep being honest. There's plenty of money out there in racist pockets - Bundy should just go and get it. Maybe he can pay his bills, stop relying on government subsidies.

Also the Duck Dynasty guy will be standing behind him with his hand on his shoulder for support.

Liberal media are real racists for asking us questions and making Bundy types respond with abhorrently racist things. If the NYT really cared about black peoples feelings, they would retract that Bundy article. Since they don't, they're the real racists here, fanning the flames of hatred and discord. If the liberal media asked as many questions of Obama on Benghazi instead of bothering nice racist ranchers, we wouldn't be in this mess and there would be no racism at all.

Must be a conspiracy somehow, to make libertarians look bad. It's a deep, snarky trick of degenerate media leftist communist pond scum who make libertarian militiamen look bad and racist with ruses such as "give them a microphone" and "interview them."

Bundy is just saying what so many on the right already believe. He's just not sophisticated enough to scramble it at the appropriate, 50,000 Hz dog-whistle frequency.

What good sir? Large swaths of the Republican party say the same? Shame on you for tarnishing the Republican brand like that.

Quote:

WAS slavery an idyllic world of stable families headed by married parents? The recent controversy over "The Marriage Vow," a document endorsed by the Republican presidential candidates Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum, might seem like just another example of how racial politics and historical ignorance are perennial features of the election cycle.

The vow, which included the assertion that "a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African-American baby born after the election of the USA's first African-American President," was amended after the outrage it stirred.

However, this was not a harmless gaffe; it represents a resurfacing of a pro-slavery view of "family values" that was prevalent in the decades before the Civil War.

Oh.

There have to be so many potential ways to monetize the idiocy. Ronald Paul was so far ahead of the curve, dude was a visionary business genius. People have been paying him to read racist nonsense for like 40 years!

I've said it before, but this forum is leaving serious money on the table. I've developed a strong sense of what plays, and we've got several world class trolls. Time to pool our talents and get rich feeding red meat to racist idiots.

Site definitely needs to reference precious metals or fiat money in the title. Attracts a lot of the right kind of crowd without being too blatant about the racism trolling.

We might be able to market a subscription app that alerts racists to instances of people saying racist things speaking uncomfortable truths and getting called racist for it along with tips on how to talk about that news item without getting called racist.

Legitimately amazing idea. Like, right now Drudge is leading with "Obama Bows to Japanese Robot." Really. Send that out, go take a ****, maybe drink a beer or two, then scroll down and alert the freedom loving patriots that subscribe to the fact that "Ordinance Would Ban Gun Rights Advocates From Handing Out Pamphlets." Then maybe rub one out, read mgoblog and make sure they are aware that "Oregon County Puts Stop to Incinerating Aborted Babies for Electricity."

Those are all real headlines, btw.

Herman Cain is a big fan of Bundy - http://www.caintv.com/cliven-bundy-and-me-his-treatm

Today when someone asked for his thoughts he said he didn't hear the comments.

I was alerted to this story this evening in the NYT on rancher Cliven Bundy which featured a quote I was told was racist, and therefor I should apologize for ever criticizing the Bureau of Land Management's handling of this and other situations

I mean I don't even know what to say to that. "A quote I was told was racist".
