"It's time the GOP have their noses soundly rubbed into the shit Cliven Bundy has left on the floor"

***against this backdrop:

" the inauguration of President Barack Obama was hailed as a turning point in US race relations. The country was said to be entering a new era of post-racial politics, on the path to a future of greater diversity and tolerance. But while crowds flocked to Washington to witness the swearing in, others were refusing to join the party. Racially motivated threats against Obama rose to new heights in the first months of his presidency, with the US seeing nine high-profile race killings in 2009. Meanwhile white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups claim their membership is growing and that visits to their websites are increasing. Filmmakers Rick Rowley and Jacquie Soohen went inside the white nationalist movement to investigate."

***The Cliven Bundy Story is NOT Over
by Seahawk

.............................

I am of the opinion any mediate who lets the GOP off the hook for this affair is doing nothing more than giving them cover to harbor the next Cliven Bundy and I begin to question what lies within their hearts.

This is the not epilogue, this is the preface. It's high time the GOP was shamed into coming back into the fold of rational - reasonable action. Stop voting to kill Obamacare, stop blocking jobs bills, stop ignoring climate change, stop trying to suppress the vote.

It's time the GOP have their noses soundly rubbed into the shit Cliven Bundy has left on the living room floor of our nation. Allowing the GOP to squirm away without a full throated mea culpa do nothing but enable the next Bundy, the next George Zimmerman, the next Oklahoma City bomber.

I am not at all comfortable with letting the GOP off the hook because I know they have not learned their lesson.

********************

from -Charles M. Blow:

The legacy of slavery must be liberated from political commentary.

Casual, careless and incorrect references to slavery, much like blithe references to Nazi Germany, do violence to the memory of those who endured it, or were lost to it, and to their descendants.

There is no modern-day comparison in this country to the horrors of slavery.

None!
Leave it alone.

Remember, honor and respect.
That’s all.

1. I saw a TV campaign ad last night...

....for a woman running for congress from Oregon; her number one campaign issue was repealing Obamacare. This was stated multiple times in her ad. Amazing. Here in Oregon!

[secondvariety]

11. Let's hope

she loses big.

[Blanks]

21. I saw a post on Facebook trashing Oregon's health care system...

Has there been problems with it?

[a kennedy]

22. Yes....the state exchange is being dumped and they're moving into the Federal Marketplace.....

http://time.com/77696/oregon-health-exchange-federal/

[grasswire]

23. with the web site, yes

The state is going to have to dump the 270+ million dollar web site for Cover Oregon. It has not worked properly yet. No one can sign up online. The state is having to just shut it down, and go to the federal exchange site.

[Blanks]

24. ...but people have been getting their health care? eom

[warrprayer]

2. I am having a pure blast...

explaining to my local wingnuts of topix how much damage Bundy has done to the tea party/G.O.P.. I explained it like I was talking to a third grader...

"The damage Cliven Bundy has done to the GOP/Tea Party is INCALCULABLE.
Right wing politicians such as Rick Perry, Rand Paul and many others have been making public statements for weeks in support of Bundy.

Pay attention here, teafucks, let this sink in through your thick skulls...

Every GOP prick who made statements supporting Bundy will have an ad aired by the Dems showing film clip of gop politician cheerleading for Bundy, alongside Bundy's little speech telling us all about "the negroe, and MLK and Rosa Parks".

Kiss the house goodbye, teafucks. "

7. Your use of the "tard" suffix is offensive to many people. Including me. Because of that

your very valid point lost some credibility today.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

9. Furr real?

Or forgot the sarcasm ditty?

Ok I guess I should ask, cuz I really don't like name calling either.
But why? Sorry if I offended you. Just need an explanation.

[Hekate]

13. "Retard" is a slur, and like other slurs is offensive. Teach your children not to use it. nt

[TeamPooka]

15. and any variation that uses "tard' as a suffix.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

17. Ok learn every day thx!

[TeamPooka]

16. Yes, it is a pejorative suffix.

[warrprayer]

25. Truly sorry...

... I was replying to a wingnut who had repeatedly referred to me as a "lib****" on topix, forgot myself and descended to their level. I have edited out the offensive suffix, and certainly meant no offense to those with mental health issues. I shall refrain from using the term henceforward.

[TeamPooka]

26. Thank you very much. That's very kind.

[Submariner]

3. In EVERY Sunday talk show

and in EVERY TV or newspaper interview Democrats should take EVERY opportunity to bring Bundy into the conversation and label the GOP as supporters of racist welfare mooching domestic terrorists.

You can bet your last dollar the GOP would do that on steroids to the Democratic Party.

[SunSeeker]

4. Exactly. nt

[Boomerproud]

20. Will they do it? No.

They never learn.

[Wellstone ruled]

5. Ditto hear in Vegas

Some dickwadd running for congress has a ad running on all the TV stations claiming the same shit. He is promoting himself as the guy who single handily fought ACA in Nevada at no charge to the public. Our two bit tin horn Governor did his best to cripple the Nevada Health Care web site by not hiring enough people to take care of business. Now we have law suit after law suit against the state.

Going to be interesting here in Nevada this election cycle. Between the Krotch Brothers and Sheldon Adelsen dumping tons of bucks into anti Reid ads,and the TeaBillies and the Militia Groups hanging out in Mesquite,going to be one hot summer. Reid is a bit pissed at the locals who are running the ads and from what I see,he has started the big push back by doing interviews in Washoe County and with the Reno News outlets. This guy is coming after these asshole with guns blazing.

Bundy's shit on the living room floor is going to stick on every Rethugs boots. Waiting for the Mesquit Duffas to give us more of his intellectual hyperbola. Weather is a bit nasty around hois digs today so we will have to wait till Monday. You just know there will be more wisdom to come. He -He!!

[Wounded Bear]

8. IIRC Reid is an old boxer...

he knows how to counter punch. He may look like milktoast, but there is a toughness in there that he draws on when needed.

[TeamPooka]

6. K&R!

[rhett o rick]

10. DEmocratic candidates should take this and run. They dont have to call their

opponents "racists" but just point out that the Democratic Party doesnt endorse racists and racism.

[DrBulldog]

12. Justice John Roberts is now officially a moron

First Bundy ... now Sterling! How many more racist top one-percenters to come?

Yet Chief Justice John Roberts based some his recent rulings on his (public) opinion that racism is no longer a problem in this country.

[ErikJ]

14. Bundy is the new face of the Slave-wages, millionaire-welfare Party.

No wonder they love states rights so much.

[DearAbby]

18. ! ^^^^^^^^

[Cha]

19. THank you, Charles Blow! thanks kpete
