Every Single F__king Repuke Who Spoke In Favor Of This Loser Should Have Words Plasterered On TV [View all]

Last edited Thu Apr 24, 2014, 04:32 PM - Edit history (5)

Every single fucking Republican who spoke out in favor of this loser should have their words plastered on tv commercials over this racist asshole’s words.



are you listening Mr. Hannity?

How do you like your blue-eyed boy now?




“I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro ... 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.”

Sermons that begin with sentences like “I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro” generally don’t end well, especially when they’re uttered by white conservative ranchers gleefully breaking federal law. Such was the case on Saturday, when Cliven Bundy, the man whose illegal cattle grazing has won him plaudits from multiple Republican senators and the right to be declared a “domestic terrorist” by Senator Harry Reid, decided to let a reporter and some supporters in on his particularly racist world view.


The Atlantic:
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/04/cliven-bundy-wants-to-tell-you-all-about-the-negro/361152/

A couple days ago Jonathan Chait asserted that modern conservatism is "doomed" because it is "rooted in white supremacy." The first claim may or may not be true, but there's little doubt about the second.
Bundyworld is in for a world of hurt, methinks.

stay tuned!
