Reid Calls For Leaders To Unite In Condemnation Of Cliven Bundy’s Dangerous Extremism
April 24, 2014 | Press Releases
“This is not a game.”
Las Vegas, NV – Nevada Senator Harry Reid released the following statement today on racist comments by Cliven Bundy reported by the New York Times.
“I used to live in North Las Vegas and it is home to some of the hardest-working people I have ever met – men and women who embody the American dream by working hard every day to build a better life for themselves and their families. By contrast, Cliven Bundy has spent decades profiting off government land while refusing to pay the same fair use fees as his fellow ranchers. Today, Bundy revealed himself to be a hateful racist. But by denigrating people who work hard and play by the rules while he mooches off public land he also revealed himself to be a hypocrite.
“To advance his extreme, hateful views, Bundy has endangered the lives of innocent women and children. This is not a game. It is the height of irresponsibility for any individual or entity in a position of power or influence to glorify or romanticize such a dangerous individual, and anyone who has done so should come to their senses and immediately condemn Bundy. For their part, national Republican leaders could help show a united front against this kind of hateful, dangerous extremism by publicly condemning Bundy.
“The bottom line is that elected officials and those in positions of power or influence have a responsibility to unite behind the basic principle that we are a country of laws, and that whatever our differences, it is unacceptable for individuals to use violence or the threat of violence to advance their radical views.”
Harry Reid is a criminal, and now he’s using the race card to deflect attention away from his criminal activities with his son and the Chinese. Being a racist is apparently worse than being a liberal progressive socialist fascist, bankrupting this country with flagrant spending.
‘Fire Harry Reid’ becomes GOP rallying cry heading into 2014 elections
Leader’s ethics, politics drive criticism
Hoping to galvanize their base further, Republicans are casting the midterm elections as a golden opportunity to fire Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat who has served as lead blocker for President Obama’s liberal agenda on Capitol Hill and chief opponent of GOP legislation.
The attacks are being espoused inside and outside the Capital Beltway and could become staples of the Republican message as the party looks to pick up the six seats needed to take the Senate gavel out of Mr. Reid’s hands.
On Wednesday, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus described Mr. Reid as “dirty” and “unethical.”
The RNC circulated a memo that played up a Federal Election Commission inquiry into campaign cash that Mr. Reid reimbursed after using the money to purchase gifts for his granddaughter.
“We’re going to continue engaging voters who want nothing more than to stop Obama’s big government overreach and fire Harry Reid from his post as Senate majority leader after Senate Democrats paved the way for ObamaCare and stalled dozens of jobs bills sent over from the Republican House,” Mr. Priebus said.
The chairman of the Louisiana Republican Party, meanwhile, filed a complaint with the Senate Select Committee on Ethics, calling on lawmakers to investigate whether Mr. Reid improperly used taxpayer money to fund online attacks against the Koch brothers. The Kochs have invested millions of dollars into conservative causes, including ads against Obamacare in states with vulnerable Senate Democrats.

What he said:
Footage of rancher Cliven Bundy surfaced Thursday showing that the 67-year-old rancher did indeed make controversial statements about “the Negro” and whether blacks might be “better off as slaves, picking cotton.”
“I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro,” Bundy can be heard saying in the video, “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.”
Bundy’s comments, which were first reported by the New York Times, were made during a daily news conference that “drew one reporter and one photographer” and which the rancher discussed the larger issue of people becoming overdependent on government assistance.
Now, if you listened to the the video above…you tell me if you think he meant anything close to harm or not? Sounds to me like he was doing his best to tell the truth when it comes to what big brother has done over the years when it comes to subsidies etc. He also speaks of the Mexicans too. Personally, I don’t think he meant anything disparaging towards any race…what do you think?
Times report: Cliven Bundy says slavery better for blacks
This is an exert from the above piece when it comes to two of our congress-critters:
Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., however, has distanced himself, saying through a spokeswoman that he “completely disagrees with Mr. Bundy’s appalling and racist statements, and condemns them in the most strenuous way.”
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who had suggested Bundy had some valid concerns, said: “His remarks are race are offensive and I wholeheartedly disagree with him.”

Dear Harry Reid,
Please go to the Bundy ranch and see for yourself what’s going on.
Sincerely,
An American who HATES your guts
PS: “Dear God, In Jeebus’ Holy Name I beseech thee to please incite the cattle to stampede and crush Mr. Reid’s skull into a thousand pieces. Amen.”
Stucky
OK.
Hey, Harry ……

Bundy is a idiot and an ass but not a racist.
“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?”
Ummm. No, dick spit, no one is better off as someone else’s property. Nobody. Ever. End of fucking discussion.
The full recording was posted by someone on their FB page:

I wondered why it came up:
12:21: “There’s one thing that’s on my mind though through this whole thing, especially last night. You look around and we’re all basically just white people. Where is our colored brothers, where’s our Mexican brothers, where’s our Chinese brothers? They’re just as much Americans as we are, and they’re not with us. If they’re not with us, they’re going to be against us. [He tells a story about the Watts riots.] What I am testifying to you is, I was in the Watts riots. What I seen was civil disturbance. People are not happy. People are thinking they don’t have their freedoms and they don’t have these things. And they didn’t have them! We’ve progressed quite a bit from that day until now, and we sure don’t want to go back. We sure don’t want these colored people to have to go back to that point, and we sure don’t want these Mexican people to go back to that point. And we can make a difference right now by taking care of some of these bureaucracies and do it in a peaceful way.”
After which came the quote. I feel really bad for the poor old guy. Jobs, welfare, abortion, and religion were all part of his monologue. He’s not racist. He knows the damage that the state has done to the black community, and to us all. He was taken out of context, but he also used the vernacular of another time, and “wondered” about the difference between slavery and government dependency, which always freaks out the collectivist slavers.
That Duck Dynasty guy basically said the same thing about the welfare state and how destructive it’s been to the black community:
I don’t give a fuck if Bundy wished he owned a few dozen niggers himself so he could sit on his porch in a white suit, sip mint juleps and get a woody from the sweat pouring down their backs. It has nothing to do with the BLM.

“Watch Bundy explain how we need to keep things from going backwards for blacks, and how the Federal government has created a neo-slave class via entitlement dependency that is so bad it is arguably worse than plantation slavery was. It is 100% clear that Cliven Bundy is not saying that blacks should be slaves picking cotton, but that the Federal government has created conditions for them so terrible, that their current situation may actually be worse. (If you are person of low intelligence, the fact that that is his point might be too hard for you to understand.) And he’s not blaming blacks for the issues of abortions, and crime and broken families, he’s blaming the Feds. This is the exact opposite of a racist, this is an advocate for the welfare and best interests of blacks. And just as importantly, you’ll at the end of the video he gives passionate praise and defense of hispanic illegal aliens, lauding them for “better family structures than most white peoples’” Racist? Why is he praising Mexicans as better than whites, if he’s some sort of white supremacist racist?. Take a hike all you lying, character-assassinating, leftist pieces of dog shit.”
Damn Zara…I thought I was the only white guy with that wet dream…..oh well, it’ll never happen unless I win the lottery.
Bundy tells the truth and guess what?..’muricans can’t handle the truth , so out come the congressional sackless to commiserate the po’ defamed neegrows suffering under da’ plight of poverty.
Rand Paul is becoming more and more the suck up PC ridden booger eating mouthy bitch, which means he’s got a good shot at POTUS ’16. Retards get out the vote.
sheesh…the sophistry never ends
“The truth is treason in an empire of lies”
Harry Reid is the enemy, and Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Holder, Clapper. Know your enemy. We’ll see what kind of life the African Americans have when the free shit stops flowing.
Will Grigg nails it:
For Progressives, “Thoughtcrime” is Worse than Mass Murder
“The same “Tolerance Industry” that treats every uncouth utterance by an aging “right-wing extremist” as matter of transcendent outrage was willing to abet the murder of innocent people abroad (by drone strikes, useless wars) in order to expand the power of the Regime to punish their enemies at home. From their perspective, cops and drones may break people’s bones, but only “hateful” words can really hurt us.”
Imina go one better than Bundy.
I advocate the legal restoration of Slavery for all demented fucks who are so unredeemably evil, sociopathic and without any sense of moral conduct , but their crimes don’t quite deserve the death penalty. These are the kind of punks who participate in the “knockout game” or are perpetual gang bangers. Many of them are black, but not all. These pukes don’t deserve freedom. Why should the taxpayers have to support their worthless asses in prison?
I say, upon capture and conviction, that are sold into slavery and the proceeds of the sale go to the victims of their crimes, after a portion has been deducted for court and copfuk expenditures.
Who’s with me?
Don’t be that sucker.

Basically, white men vote Republican because they’re suckers.
The likes of Marcotte say that working-class white men are motivated by fear and resentment, but the majority of people who vote Democrat are doing it for nobler reasons.
They’re not. Most of them are voting for their own short-term self-interest.
Sure, there is a small class of progressive white men who make a big show of putting everyone else’s interests first. They demonstrate their moral superiority by standing up — mostly online — for whatever “rights” they believe that women or blacks or illegal immigrants or transsexuals or chickens are somehow entitled to.
Everyone else is just voting for stuff they want.
Women vote Democrat because they understandably want the convenience of being able to kill their unwanted children. They vote Democrat because they want free birth control and they want free healthcare for the kids they decide to keep. Women also vote for Democrats because Democrats offer special programs to help women get education and jobs.
Women have always depended on men for protection, but they’d rather depend on many men than just one or a few, so they are happy to vote for measures to increase “security.” As a group, women don’t like or understand guns, so they vote Democrat because Democrats promise to take guns away from men — usually those working-class white men — and give them to the big group of men in the government.
Men have historically been suspicious of what big groups of men will do when they have all of the weapons.
Blacks vote Democrat because they are smart and racist. They were going to vote for Obama no matter what he did because he was black, and like sensible people they figure it is better to have one of your own in power. Democrats, as a group, are known for caring more about giving free stuff to black people. Blacks are smart, because they know that it is always better to get something for free than to pay for it.
Blacks also know that you don’t need a permit to buy a gun. You just go buy one from that guy down the street and, you know, take care of business. White men are afraid to buy guns without following the rules, so more rules means less white men with guns. This is good for black men, because they like the convenience of being able to wear a hoodie in the rain without getting shot by nervous white men with guns.
Latinos vote Democrat because their families came to America to take advantage of employment opportunities and all of the benefits and protections that America offers to its citizens. They figure more benefits and protections are better than less, and Democrats always offer more benefits and protections.
In places with a lot of Latinos, Democrats say that you shouldn’t have to go through the trouble of becoming a citizen to get those benefits and protections. This is convenient for Latinos who are not citizens, because using a dead person’s social security number can sometimes be inconvenient.
Gay people vote Democrat because Democrats offer gay people stuff they think they want. Aside from marriage and the sadistic thrill of being able to force Christians to make wedding cakes, this includes free healthcare. Free healthcare comes in handy when you’re a man who occasionally has sex with guys he met 30 minutes ago on Grindr, or a lesbian who occasionally gets drunk and has sex with men. (See the first point about women above.)
Transsexuals vote Democrat because they want the government to pay for the very expensive cosmetic surgeries and hormones that are necessary for them to become who they really are. Also, they are confused about which bathroom to use, so they want more special bathrooms for confused people.
(Chickens are not technically allowed to vote yet, but we hear they want to be free range, which sounds libertarian.)
As Gari Day, the white male bus driver featured in the Times article said, “Republicans make you work for your money, and try to let you keep it.”
He probably doesn’t understand how the government can afford to keep giving everyone free stuff forever. He probably does figure that some of that money for the stuff other people want is coming out of his earnings. But he’s not alone in that — I’ve yet to see a successful Democrat turn down a tax break. No one actually wants to pay more taxes.
Aside from voting to keep more of their own money and to keep the guns they bought, a lot of these straight, white, working-class men are not asking for anything. They’re too proud for that.
As old-fashioned voters, they see themselves as part of the government. They’re not just trying to get more stuff from the government and come up with reasons why they deserve it. They’re voting for a society that works the way they think things should work.
And that’s why they’re suckers.
Democratic and Republican politicians, like everyone else, see the government as a way to get what they want. Politicians want power and status. To get elected, they accept money from regular people, from rich men, from businesses, and probably from foreign countries. In return, they promise favors. That’s how the system works.
People who don’t want anything from the government are useless to politicians, because they are difficult to manipulate and impossible to please. The government, like every big bureaucracy, is in the growth business. Making the government smaller isn’t in the short-term interest of any ambitious bureaucrat. Contraction only makes political sense when you’re trying to reduce an opponent’s sphere of influence.
Democrats promise more government, and more free stuff. Republicans promise less free stuff for poor people, and promise to lower taxes in return, but they rarely manage to lower taxes for anyone but rich guys who — let’s be real — were usually born into money and didn’t work any harder than the guys driving buses. Many of the wealthy elite are white guys, true, but they care about as much about the working-class white guys as the Democratic Party leadership.
White men are suckers because they haven’t figured out that the America they believe in is already gone, and that they are the only ones who aren’t asking for whatever they can get while the gettin’s still good. They’ll vote reliably Republican as long as the Republicans keep talking about self-reliance and how things should work, and that will free up Republican politicians to do favors for people who actually want stuff.
I’ll bet all the thumbs downers would claim they “believe in” and “value” freedom. What a joke. I’ll never trust a man who is willing to sacrifice other peoples liberty.
