the Kommisariat's Kontinuing Kronicles: more right-wingery in the USA, 2k11-12

Or Keynesianism at least.

I just meant to say that excel + email checking is such a waste of time. We already have most of our healthy population wasting their lives on that shit. Let's fix some bridges + potholes instead.

It's nice of these guys to come along and confirm every single thing that guys like Rick Perstien and George Lakoff write about their moral systems, tribal adherence, inability to deal with systemic causation, etc

aw buddy, it's ok, you're better off w/o her

this fucking guy. we have the worst goddamn folk heroes.

I mean honestly, this story has infuriated me. we have these privileged folk conflating "blind insubordination" with "civil rights activism". Folks of this nature talk about 'police states', comparing their idiotic pet causes to the shit that is actually happening right now in countries with terrible human rights records.

FUCK this guy.

Oh don't worry; the fact that this time didn't end in bloodshed means that the next time probably will. You had hundreds of dudes strapped, showing up and openly salivating the prospect of cleansing, righteous violence, and being martyred in real-time.

It's going to get much worse.

Glenn Beck no longer conservative enough for the right wing: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/04/15/bundy-ranch-supporters-lash-out-at-glenn-beck-after-he-suggests-they-should-avoid-violence/

he really is like MLK isn't he?

Yeah, I dunno; I think those tpm and rawstory stories are pretty much just "people are assholes on the internet."

This shit just falls into lazy confirmation-bias fueling and probably shouldn't reach the level of being a thing until you get actual senior GOP officials spouting off, or somebody with actual power.

I'm not saying this crap shouldn't be tracked or monitored by somebody, but it too easily falls into some tumblr of "Shit Limbaugh Said Today" updated daily

eh, maybe, but you look at the parts enough, you can discern the whole.

really his whole TL right now is pretty ace

Jesus effing Christ, these are our folk heroes in 2014? sad thing is, this still won't drive many of his supporters away as a good portion of em probably agree. Warning, it's reeeeallly offensive.

“I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro,” he said. Mr. Bundy recalled driving past a public-housing project in North Las Vegas, “and in front of that government house the door was usually open and the older people and the kids — and there is always at least a half a dozen people sitting on the porch — they didn’t have nothing to do. They didn’t have nothing for their kids to do. They didn’t have nothing for their young girls to do.

“And 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.”

This is the guy that says he refuses the acknowledge the government of the USA, yet proudly run around the flag of said government?

the to acknowldge

Some backing away from Bundy now:

The remarks brought about a quick rebuke from Chandler Smith, a spokesperson for Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV). Heller had previously called Bundy and his supporters “patriots” for their actions and challenged Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) description of them as “domestic terrorists.”

Smith told the Times that Heller “completely disagrees with Mr. Bundy’s appalling and racist statements, and condemns them in the most strenuous way.”

Bundy’s speech also seemingly derailed Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott’s (R) apparent attempt to link his gubernatorial campaign to the Bunkerville camp; Abbott had allegedly written a letter to the BLM accusing it of “threatening” to seize land along the Red River in northern Texas.

But after being contacted regarding the rancher’s “Negro” remarks, a spokesperson for Abbott was quoted as saying that Abbott’s letter “was regarding a dispute in Texas and is in no way related to the dispute in Nevada.”

Joan Walsh: How Dumb Opportunism Became A Right Wing Nightmare

Asked about Bundy’s virulently racist remarks by the Times, Rand Paul was “not available for immediate comment.” What courage. At least Dean Heller’s office immediately condemned the “appalling and racist statements.” Here’s a tip for Rand Paul: You’re a libertarian. Give your staff the liberty to tell the media you abhor racist comments, even if you’re not around.

imagine the slight twitch in adam nagourney's eyes when he heard the phrase "I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro”

Dude is on tape saying "picking cotton," then goes on Alex Jones and says he never said "picking cotton."

his unedited comments were taken purely out of context

jesus, this fuckin guy. if you want to have a coronary, visit "Support Cliven Bundy" on FB. although quite humorously, it's become infested with Bundy-bashers over the last week, which makes me smile a bit.

I'm not sure why the Feds even bothered sending in the guns when they could just sue him and eventually end up freezing his assets and put a warrant out for him. It seems even many right wing writers seem to agree, he doesn't have much of a case in court at all. As a flip side to this lunatic fringe, it is pretty pathetic that the government let the guy slide on this stuff for like twenty years.

today's controversy will at least cause his high-profile supporters to walk it back (most of them have already).

some of his minions have already started the 'HIS COMMENTS HAVE NOTHING 2 DO WITH THE GRAZING SITUATION'. one guy I talked to was like "I was wonderin when the liberals would finally come out and paint him as racis". if they painted, it was w/ his damn brush!

so clever:

There’s no explaining away Mr. Bundy’s remarks, and I abhor them, and am pleased that Rich Lowry and others have taken the time to address them.

There’s no explaining away the lawlessness of the Obama administration or the crimes of the IRS, either. A nation can survive its cranks, but not a criminal government.

n8 NRO so much ugh.

David brings to his show a cast of comedic characters including lovable but blunt Aunt Tilly, a 94 year-old spinster; the classic quick-witted trouble maker, Mack Elroy; the dopey yet adorable hound dog, Buford; and the slightly misguided albino vulture, Vern. Of course no show would be complete without a few surprise appearances from members of the audience as well!

David’s high-quality, family-friendly humor has mesmerized audiences the world over. Whether it’s a convention or conference, a corporate event or a cruise, David Pendleton makes it a night to remember!

This clip is fourteen minutes long. I cannot speak to the latter twelve minutes, but the first two are mirthless

And yet, still a bigger draw than Stephen Baldwin.

Is he doing the Bart Simpson Touch of Death?

http://37.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8cfhpdPGG1qdoghio1_400.gif

to precis the 1:05 I watched before switching off:

he thanks the audience for warm applause
he makes a really weak joke about shirts and mothers-in-law
he says he spent the afternoon at the DMV and then does some Jon Stewart-derived sarcastic voice expressing how much fun he had there

in summation: conservatives aren't funny

dude is basically doing a Brian Regan impersonation

x-post: Ha, that was exactly as far as I got.

Good stuff from my brother in law: who am I to call for criminal prosecution of irresponsible gun ownership that leads to death or injury when there's irresponsible vagina ownership in the world that leads to abortion?

meet him halfway, offer that gunowners should be castrated

lol
