I vote to hide it, it is racist, equates immigrants to cattle and mocks the legal officers tasked with enforcing the law, all the while encouraging violent civil unrest.
For starters.

The following is the post of the Christian Crusader of the Fox News cyber world of hate and intolerance:
Rancher Bundy shouldve told the feds that those were Mexican cows who came across the border illegally to seek better grazing opportunities. It was an act of love.
His defence, although DU does not allow one to plead their case, in Starne's own utterly non-sensical writing:
"I realized I had landed in the Facebook gulag when I tried to post our daily Bible verse. However, I was unable to post anything because Facebook had taken great offense to something I had written.
For the record, Facebook has the right to censor its their company. And while they may censor conservative and Christian postings, Facebook is quite welcoming and affirming to leftwing diatribes against Republicans, religion and the Tea Party. I just wish the folks at Facebook were a bit more tolerant and diverse."

Notice how many times Starnes insists he is a good Christian? Surprised he was not also crying about being "silenced" by the liberal media, although the owner of Facebook is no liberal. Maybe someone else at Fox will pick up the free speech mantle of victimization to thrash about.
The cult like cabal of Fox News is shocking.

(28,257 posts)What I see is a ratio of about 10:1 as to drooling hyper-conservative idiocy vs. liberal sentiments. I'm continually amazed about how many people have lost their minds because there's a black guy in the White House......

So this Faux Propaganda Network nobody named Todd STARNES (who?) got his "witty" post censored, and responds with the standard Roger AILES line about how Fauxs wingnuttiness is to BALANCE all the REST of the media, which he claims is ALL Left, all of it. Yeah, how ABC has just hired that fabulous Catholic convert and spiritual Laura INGRAHAM and who, Billy William KRISTOL, not to mention their tenured Jonathan KARL who finds a way to inject any BUSH into every week, like Poppy BUSH for Fathers Day because hes Our Father, don-cher-know.
Plus, the wingnuts have always claimed that Bleeding Heart Libs are hypocrites, have no kindness for individuals only in the abstract, but if there were a Dem candidate in a wheelchair like their Texas (against Wendy DAVIS) Haterman Greg ABBOTT, they would be making disability-jokes at him the way they did their BandAids with Purple Hearts to mock KERRY. Because its HUMOR, LIGHTEN UP! Yeah, they cite how RAYGUN would give a hundred dollar bill to a panhandler on the street and they claim that a Lib stiffs individuals, no charity, while wanting to spend OTHER PEOPLEs money. Yeah, RAYGUN gives ONE dude a bill while slashing services to help MILLIONS of the masses, while steering BILLIONS to his fat cat patrons. RAYGUN and Nancy were top of the line grifters, raking in freebies in sponsorships (General Electric), fees, accomodations, travel. But it looks like the TeaBaggers are NOT going to get over Jeb Crow Shrubs act of love. Its getting to be bigger than Poppys Read my lips.
I said it first about what was Jeb Crow Shrub doing with that conscious uncoupling of his, and then LIMBOsevic copied me (yeah-right, its just that we are perspicacious), saying, Some say he just doesnt want to run and is saying something like that to get himself out of the running, but if he doesnt want to run why doesnt he just say so without going through (a maze).
But Im even BEYOND LIMBOsevic: What LIMBO is leaving unsaid is that, Jeb Crow Shrub is HURTING the wingnuts, by not shutting up. That is, he could have either taken himself out OR played the Prophet teaching the Way, withOUT saying something that was going to hurt the wingnuts.

(70,691 posts)* Taking himself out of the running by alienating the wingnut base? But why not just NOT-run instead of gaming?
* Playing the Prophet by "leading" the Way for his dying party to survive, mapping towards more inclusiveness?
Civil war among our enemy is always good for us.

(70,691 posts)taken in!1 They know who is one of themselves and who is not.
I pick the "Prophet" option myself for what Jeb Crow Shrub is attempting, even if he doesn't run. Let's do a MADDOW step-by-step thing:
Step 1: The Rethug party is dying out for its being Old and Insular.
Step 2: They are headed back to the late '50s and '60s-'70s-80s when Rightwingedness was considered Fringe and Wacko and disreputable and unrespectable.
Step 3: William BUCKLEY began the rebirth, then LIMBOsevic took it to its height (or Depth). LIMBO laser-screened OUT all callers who were OBVIOUS in their BIRCHER and whatever other OBVIOUS branch, not FRINGE just obvious. He insisted on Respectability and mainstream "normality". The way Mittens and Mormonists crave respectability and orthodoxy. What else are those khakis and blue shirts all about?!1
Step 4: So the Civil War is their core Believers attempting to take total control, but (see Step 1).
So Jeb Crow Shrub wants to lead out of the looming wilderness. Moses didn't get to the Promised Land.
