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.”

Dipshit Cliven Bundy, by opening his knuckle dragging, swamp dwelling piehole just extinguished any hope or expectation that these movements will pick up momentum and in fact gain ground. And in doing so, has opened himself and anyone tangentially associated with ANY libertarian/freedom movement up to criticisim from the usual suspects, namely Reid, Pelosi, Holder, etc. He has essentially relegated to the dustbin, if not outright condemmed, any seemingly worthwhile cause of a similar vein to a premature death. MSM will crucify him and anyone else who slightly resembles this guy, i.e. white, male, gun owning and not toeing the Obama/Holder line. Great work, Cliven....

see link below of radio interview where he steps into the trap.

How it works:   'We got an uppity rancher who's gaining some popularity.  I need something, ANYTHING, that will discredit him'.   NYTimes quotes someone heard that Bundy once said something.  Might have worked even if he didn't say it.  Unfortunately Bundy was honest and admitted it. 

Handy tip when dealing with psychopaths - don't let them use your honesty against you.

The Nevada standoff was never about Bundy. It’s about a tyrannical, out of control American Empire…serviced by street level corrupt crooks like Harry.

Harry Reid is a crook, a fraud and a liar. And so is the NY Times (and if it isn’t let them prove it).

And Bundy fell right into the trap. As someone put it regarding his interview with the Times: “He had no idea who he is dealing with.”

There was no reason for the Times to probe Bundy’s views on blacks except in hopes of twisting his words to entrap and discredit him.

As Bundy’s son, Ammon, explained today in an exclusive interview with WND: “They took what they wanted. They knew when they were there his comments were not racist. He wasn’t able to completely articulate.”

In the WND interview, Ammon Bundy said that his father’s comment regarding blacks and slavery was “taken out of context by the New York Times.” Ammon told WND his father was merely trying to reach out to the black and Hispanic communities.

“He explained his father was commenting on the fact that while blacks were ‘in slavery on plantations, now because of the welfare system, they continue to be in slavery.’

“’He desires the black community to have freedom,’ Ammon Bundy said.”

Already, fair-weather politicians, formerly somewhat supportive of Bundy’s patriotic stand, are backing away from the embattled rancher because he dared wondered – deliberately set up and egged on by the NY Times -- if blacks were “better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or …better off under government subsidy” and “less freedom.”

Critical observers say that if the NY Times does not produce a full transcript of the interview, that politicians and others who back away from Bundy because of the Times’ manipulated version are joining in the intentional disinformation generated by the state-controlled media.

WND reports that Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev. already “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 on race are offensive and I wholeheartedly disagree with him..”

Frankly, I find Heller’s and Paul’s capitulation to the elevation of ethnic-identity politics over justice and the law, and the deliberate Balkanization of America, to be offensive -- all this based not on the comments but on the NY Times’ doctored version of the comments. Politicians who think they are up against a fair media are nothing less than fools.

Bundy  speaks the truth.

Essentially we need to go to ROOT problems here on ZH, and the root problem is POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, and the fact is BUNDY is right, and eveybody in LAW ENFORCEMENT knows that the majority of blacks are in prison, and this wasn't the case before the blacks were 'freed'.

While I think BUNDY is on AIPAC payroll to play the stupid fucking REDNECK, I would like the real men of ZH to stand their ground and dismiss this PC bullshit, BUNDY talks the truth, and if the truth hurts then go fuck yourself.

The problem is the MSM has made all TV media to be one fucking OPHRAH "I'm SHOCKED, did you hear what he said"?

But its the truth, and BUNDY is part of that world like TJ-Roosevelt said long ago "Tell the truth, and carry a big stick".

The problem with ZH is its 90% UNICORNS and UNICORNS are PUSSY Political Correct shit eating panzy's. If just the 10% of real men on ZH could stand up against political correctness we might actually make some progress here.

Just as the Left uses racism today to invoke cloture on any subject that is anti-socialist, the charge of McCarthyism was and is used as an aggressive term to stifle debate on communism in order to establish left-wing orthodoxy. The charge of Racism is used to character assassinate anyone who is anti-left – on what should be a critical debate.

The tremendous smear campaign against Joseph McCarthy, who was charged by Communists and the media with witch hunting, worked. The same tactic was used against The John Birch Society. Edward Hunter, a world expert on psychological warfare and author of Brainwashing from Pavlov to Powers, wrote in 1960:

“The virulent tone of the booklet (The Fascist Revival published by the Communist Party, USA), indicates that the Communist Party would like to create a new Pavlovian trigger word for this period in psychological warfare, and believes ‘Birchite’ might be put into the language this way, replacing ‘McCarthyite’…the Communists now seek to create a new scare word.”

Today that Pavlovian trigger word is racist.

Yes,

but supposedly in the Mormon Church, every man is a priest.

If blacks could not be priests, or learn the secrets,

were they really members at that time?

But then there are separate Freemasonry organizations for blacks,

known as Prince Hall Freemasonry, which preceded the time of the founding of Mormonism.

No word yet on if this applies to Libyan or Syrian women and children. We are, after all, a nation of laws. And our constitution specifically doesn't allow the president to unilaterally go to war. Or kill innocent 16 year olds who are related to clerics that speak out against the US. And most of the treaties (which are laws when we ratify them) disallow us from torturing prisoners are carpet bombing innocent civilians.

But I guess endangering women and children is worse that bombing them.

I doubt your genealogy statement.

Direct male descent from whites who were  slave owners may be few in number, a small percent.

Many more, if counting thru descendants of daughters and granddaughters, etcetera.

Just look at genealogy organizations such as

Daughters of the Confederacy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Daughters_of_the_Confederacy

 

And then there are some black people with a half-breed ancestor who are genealogically descended from white slave owners.

Cliven Bundy is not on the Supreme Court…but Sonia Sotomayor is. And when you talk racist scarcely a better example from history has come down to us.  U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor is a white man hater par excellence.

Here are excerpts from National Review on the Michigan affirmative-action case decided today, Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action; the question was whether the state should be required to engage in racial discrimination.

“In a perfectly Orwellian dissenting opinion, which she read dramatically from the bench, Justice Sotomayor argued that the decision of the people of Michigan to end racial discrimination is itself an instance of racial discrimination and that the only way to mitigate such racial discrimination is through the mandatory maintenance of racial discrimination. In this opinion she was joined by Justice Ginsburg, with Justice Kagan recusing herself from the case. Justice Sotomayor argued that Michigan’s Proposal 2, which mandates race-neutral state policies, is the sort of legislation used to 'oppress minority groups.' By outlawing racial discrimination, she argued, 'a majority of the Michigan electorate changed the basic rules of the political process in that State in a manner that uniquely disadvantaged racial minorities.'

“Justice Sotomayor is here arguing in effect that if a constitutional referendum doesn’t go the NAACP’s way, then its effects are invalid. This is not an exaggeration: Justice Soyomayor argues explicitly that Michigan’s voters would have been within their rights to, for example, lobby university authorities to adopt race-neutral admissions standards but that by adopting a constitutional amendment insisting on race neutrality, thereby transferring the decision from the education bureaucrats to the people themselves and their constitution, they 'changed the rules in the middle of the game.' Her opinion is legally illiterate and logically indefensible, and the still-young career of this self-described 'wise Latina' on the Supreme Court already offers a case study in the moral and legal corrosion that inevitably results from elevating ethnic-identity politics over the law. Justice Sotomayor has revealed herself as a naked and bare-knuckled political activist with barely even a pretense of attending to the law, and the years she has left to subvert the law will be a generation-long reminder of the violence the Obama administration has done to our constitutional order.

“As a practical matter, the fact that non-white students do relatively poorly under race-neutral admissions standards at our public universities is an indictment mainly of our K–12 education system and of the cultural anarchy that has imposed especially high costs on the children of black and Latino families. It is not an indictment of race-neutral standards. Unable or unwilling to do a better job of preparing black and Latino students for college in the public institutions controlled by its most reliable footsoldiers, the Left insists on anathematizing the very standards under which the incompetence and negligence of our government-run schools, the very model of progressivism, are revealed. If that takes a bit of doublespeak — non-discrimination is discrimination — it wouldn’t be the first time the Left has relied on it.

"The Court came to the right decision, but its fractured conclusions and the rigorous political activism of its left wing are alarming.”

they truly should be investigated and put to rest, or be confirmed.

Is mister Reid aware this is actually true. Perhaps what he meant to say is:

Bundy's words just gave the Feds the ammunition they need to take the moral high ground and have another Waco Texas 2.0. What a crying shame. These guys (Liberty movement) were sending a strong message before Bundy opened his mouth, now nobody will give a shit about what happens to them. They will be labeled "fringe" rednecks and racists, and this is exactly what the media needed to spin this even further. And the corrupt cocksucker Harry Reid will get to whistle past the graveyard.

Have any of you considered that this entire "BUNDY" story may very well be 'staged' opposition?

BUNDY went from NOBODY to somebody very quickly, weeks ago they were pushing his story 24/6 on 'beforeitsnews', and all the wacko sites, and which drove many people to his ranch, where there was a fed stand off.

Then BUNDY goes on LIVE and talks shit and makes PATRIOTS look like retards, and then RAND-PAUL and  all REPUGLICAN politicians distance themselves from the NEW LEADER.

I'll say this BUNDY speaks the truth, and we ain't allowed to tell the truth.

It's a tough call, but I can tell you all this, the MSM only makes people FAMOUS or put's them on TV if they have control of that person and he is part of the FUCKING TEAM.

Exactly. This is the great truth that we're taught not to look at. Testing at 90 on a standardized IQ test is very meaningful, as this performance correlates very well with life performance.

Anyone with access to Google and 5 minutes of free time can verify that literally every shred of research every conducted since the 1960s up to today shows the same results over and over, i.e. that there are statistically significant differences in mean IQ between the major racial groups, and that the pecking order is the same every time. Hell, there is even a Wikipedia entry on race and intelligence.

From a scientific point of view the study of human racial biodiversity and racial evolution (not just intelligence but also immunity, physical adaptations, etc.) is a fascinating thing, and it's too bad that it's suppressed by the MSM and mainstream education system. Doesn't serve the socialist multiculturalism agenda. A good place for some casual and not-so-casual reading is the Human Biodiversity blog (I have no affiliation, it's just a recommendation).

Just to focus on Bundy's words he said, 

“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.”

And this has what to do with the unlawful land grab by the feds?  I have heard many Constitutional lawyers that have said that the BLM's land grab is against the Constitution.  Until that one point is settled once and for all the Feds need to stand down or this whole thinds going to blow up and there will be many dead feds laid out on the desert.  This thing doesnt need to get out of hand but one fact still remains. The longer the stand off goes on the more likely the public will find out what Mad Harry's involvement is.  Harry doesn't want that so he's putting the pressure on the BLM to get out there and get his land freed up for whoever.

Who cares what Harry said? I also don't give a rats ass what kind of person Bundy is eaither.

To me this is about Federal regulation enforcement officers showing up with swat teams, cages for the cattle, and people cages. (free speech zone here)

They over reached their authority, didn't know how to handle cattle or people. In some cases, they ran the cattle to death trying to get them in cages, The people also refused to be caged.

I seriously think they were stumped and didn't know what to do next. It almost ended (paused?) very differently. One wrong move by eaither side could have began another Waco.

Rascist, pedophile, animal torturer, serial killer, tortoise slayer, anti-semite, homophobe, terrorist, communist, atheist, Muslim, flag burner, misogynist, FSA member, alcoholic, drug user, bestiality freak, snuff flick maker, asshole, neo-nazi, arsonist, etc...
