clide bundy makes comment on black people

Can Sean Hannity refund the Bundy load he has happily swallowed?

Here is the sad thing... What he is saying is true. Where he is wrong is that he thinks it only applies to African Americans. His musings on "the days of slavery" were stupid and offensive, but his point is solid.

Our country is forming one of the biggest underclasses of all time. It is truly sad. I think we're headed for a terrible future.

I live in a part of the country where I see this kind of a thing all the time (but the people are White). My wife teaches many of these kids and comes home so upset most of the time from what she hears.

Bad stuff. I am not sure what we can do about it. It is so bad that it is offensive to make it a political battle.

Not surprising, other info on Bundy here:

Funny coming from a guy who is himself on gov't subsidy. So now he's a criminal, socialist, freeloader, AND a racist.

Bundy's comments below aren't racist, just a statement of fact, and applies to any race, although blacks have been the primary victims. The Democrats don't need chattel slavery when they have the welfare state:

“I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro,” he said. Mr. Bundy recalled driving past a public-housing project in North Las Vegas, “and in front of that government house the door was usually open and the older people and the kids — and there is always at least a half a dozen people sitting on the porch — 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.

“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? They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.”

Hey, the Democrats have imposed a new tax on the right to breathe air. What you refuse to pay the tax? You want to freeload and breathe federalized air for free? Why, you're a socialist criminal racist freeloader and a domestic terrorist.

Sooo, the guy makes some comments, the media spins it, many of you buy it.

Tell me again where "racist" comments justifies the BLM killing his cattle and throwing the corpse' into pits?

Blacks have less Freedom now than when they were legally regarded as property? When, if they escaped, it was legally required to assist in returning said black to their master? You're going to have to explain that to me a little better, Cliven. My impression of you is starting to solidify into that of a deluded, doddering, freeloading, racist, crackpot Mormon jack ass.

NBC News scramble hard to get this. Tell me, how come they tried to kill the story (by ignoring it) that Obama sat in the pew listening to a racist America hating bigot for 20 years

How come THAT wasn't a big story to NBC?

This is your best argument? Please, make an effort.

Calling Bundy a white man racist is like calling a black man a great athlete.

Nature of the beast.

And now, Harry Reid has joined in to the media spin. The same Reid who praised Obama as a "light-skinned" African-American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."

Great job, progressive's. Keep killing yourselves one hypocritical comment at a time.

Perhaps a history lesson would serve you well.

Sad to see so many bitter racists on letsrun. It really is remarkable that you could think this way and function in any most other parts of society, except an anonymous message board, some Neo-Nazi, KKK, or Christian Identity group, or maybe some radical right wing think tank, without being ostracized.

Oh come now. Do you really doubt folks like Dr. Ben Carson, Bill Cosby, and Colin Powell would have led better lives as slaves, and we as a society would be better for it?

I see the thread about Hannity and his support for this loon has been taken down.

Brojo's ----is this seriously who you want to defend? A major league douche like Hannity. I get it, you are conservative, but the stink from Hannity rubs off on you. Stick with a George Will or something blue blood.

I think I'll just go plant crops in the nearest national park for my own profit. Or maybe set up a driving range or something and pocket the income.

WHAT ABOUT OBAMA'S SUPPORT FOR REV JEREMIAH WRIGHT?

Why this guy's rant is so funny: He's describing a group of people he considers free-loaders, lumping them together not by class or income but by skin-color. He see's the cause of their group malady as ideological in the form of government subsidies, yet he runs a ranching business that is heavily subsidized by the government! He and his supporters somehow see this situation as different than the people he/they condescend to, and he/they are completely oblivious to it. Ideological consistency is absent in this case. The 'big government' defense these clowns are yelling about isn't sincere it's just an attempt to deflect and sidestep their own free-loading behavior.
