Chris Hayes: Would Fox News Defend Bundy Ranch Supporters if They Were Black?
Mediaite ^ | April 22, 2013 | Matt Wilstein

Posted on 04/22/2014 2:26:26 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Monday night, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes used an essay on Slate about the Bundy Ranch standoff and race as a jumping off point to discuss how this story would be different if rancher Cliven Bundy’s armed supporters were black.

“When is it that people take up arms against the federal or state government, point their arms at federal agents and face no consequence for it?” Hayes asked. “The answer is to that is hardly ever.”

Hayes went on to imagine how Fox News react to the New Black Panthers if they decided to “greet law enforcement with long guns.” Or what if the Occupy Wall Streeters had been holding “rifles and sniper-scopes” instead of “drums and hand-made signs,” would Fox News have called them “patriots for resisting tyranny?”(continued)

Hey Chris, same question goes for you, would you defend the Bundy’s if you knew they were Conservative..of course not..that’s why libs are wishing the Bundy family dead..if libs knew the Bundys were liberal and the ones protecting them were Occupy Bowl Street supporters the left would be demanding Harry Reid leave them alone

Translation: Fox News viewers are a bunch of racist white guys. Which itself is a racist statement.

Thems fighting words. I am getting damned tired being called a racist.

Would BLM go after Bundy if he were black?

That is not the question. The question is how many blacks were there supporting Bundy?

Would Chris Hayes attack Fox News if Fox Editors were black?

I would have supported blacks defending themselves with guns against Democrats in white hoods.

Look how quickly the left attacked Clarence Thomas over his vote to uphold Michigan’s ban on affirmative action. One black justice out of 6 justices who agreed and they single him out for attack.

That’s affirmative action.

Excellent point.

This stuff is all !#@$@.

I’d be happy if blacks were standing up for such a case IN A RESPONSIBLE MANNER. Rather than wantonly rioting which can include random shooting.

Can this jerk tell me where the bullets were fired?

The republican party of the past stood up, some died, and fought hard for the union and for the freedom of blacks against the southern democrat party and the traitor democrats in the north. After that they fought and some died fighting the terrorist KKK arm of the democrat party. So, a loud YES.

Yes, Chris, they would. Are you not supporting them because you think they’re white?

The New Black Panthers aren’t simply “black people”...and they have a history.
And it isn’t Fox News that has a history of not showing sane conservative blacks on their network.
