Right’s ‘Democrat Bundy’ Meme Collapses: Sterling Registered GOP

Over the weekend, while nation-wide attention was focused on the racist comments reportedly made by Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, some conservative commentators were focused on something else: Sterling's party affiliation.

Specifically, certain conservatives were taking the media to task for supposedly ignoring Sterling's ties to the Democratic Party. But a bit of context was missing. Sterling is a registered Republican.

A search of The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder's website using Sterling's name, date of birth, and address turns up a Republican registration, and the registrar-recorder's office confirmed the*

1. This he's a Democrat, no he's a Republican is pretty silly.

He obviously was not very politically oriented. He gave to Bradley in the early 90s probably because he was a former NBA star. He gave to Gray Davis in the 90s. I bet a lot of business people did of both parties. Since then there are no records of him giving anything even though he has plenty of money. It is clear politics is not his thing.
