Showing Original Post only (View all)Republicans Blast Nevada Rancher for Failing to Use Commonly Accepted Racial Code Words - Borowitz [View all]

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) Republican politicians blasted the Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy on Thursday for making flagrantly racist remarks instead of employing the subtler racial code words the G.O.P. has been using for decades.
We Republicans have worked long and hard to develop insidious racial code words like entitlement society and personal responsibility, said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky). There is no excuse for offensive racist comments like the ones Cliven Bundy made when there are so many subtler ways of making the exact same point.
Fox News also blasted the rancher, saying in a statement, Cliven Bundys outrageous racist remarks undermine decades of progress in our effort to come up with cleverer ways of saying the same thing.
