Nevada cattle rancher Cliven Bundy knows how to start a stampede.
After Bundy, who became a right-wing hero for his refusal to acknowledge the authority of the federal government, wondered aloud about whether “Negro” people were “better off as slaves,” conservative figures who had celebrated his cause rushed to distance themselves from him.
Sen. Rand Paul, who had condemned the federal government’s attempt to enforce court orders against Bundy: “Offensive.”
Sen. Dean Heller, who had declared Bundy’s followers “patriots”: “Appalling and racist.”
And Sean Hannity, who had led a Fox News campaign that made a hero of Bundy: “Beyond repugnant.”
Bundy boosters are right to be appalled — but they should not be shocked.
The anti-government strain of thought that Bundy advanced has been intertwined with racist and anti-Semitic views over the past several decades. Not all people who resist the authority of the federal government are motivated by race, of course, and not all racists are anti-government. But there is a long symbiosis between the two....

How about jealousy, low self esteem, and class warfare is often behind the far left.
Cheerio: Communism often behind antics of the far left
Communists = Biggest racists
Democrats rarely mature and throw bombs and temper tantrums for attention. It is why many supposed adult libs have the same mindset of most 11-year-olds if they could vote. Children, little boys and girls.
It don’t mean nuttin.
There’s something happening here
But what it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it’s time we stop
Children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look - what’s going down?
There’s battle lines being drawn
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
It’s time we stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look - what’s going down?
What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly saying, “hooray for our side”
It’s time we stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look - what’s going down?
They don’t get it.
No government at gunpoint!
Hey Dana!
Had you noticed that the FACIST tactics of the BLM ALWAYS come from the LEFT?
Dana Milbank resides in the same alternate universe as Paul Krugman, EJ Dionne and Maureen Dowd. I suspect that none of them has ever met a real conservative, a breathing welfare recipient or an actual verifiable fact.
Sorry to re-post this, but it fits this story too:
Dims fought for slavery in the mid 1800’s
Dims came up with Jim Crow laws
Dims came up with poll taxes
Dims fought and even filibustered civil and voting rights
Dims destroyed the black family with welfare
Dims kept blacks “in their place” by forcing them into crappy
public schools.
But it is the Republicans that are racist?
And pedastry seems to be the hallmark of those who continue to disparage the TEA Party....
So what? Racism = telling the ugly truth.
If that’s true then why isn’t Sperling a racist?
“If that’s true then why isn’t Sperling a racist?”
Shhhhh. He’s a lefty. He can’t be racist. He just mis-spoke.
He just doesn't want his girlfriend to bring any black people along. It isn't like he hates overbearing Government or anything. (/s, sorta)
If there’s a Democratic talking point out there, you can be sure that it will be the subject of Dana’s next column. And while Dana has never met a conservative, a welfare recipient, or a fact, neither has he ever been acquainted with an original thought.
Hence his long career as a columnist at the Washington Post.
What did Bundy say about slavery and the welfare plantation that was technically wrong? Aside from shrieking and yelling, the liberals and RINOs still haven’t given us an answer.
L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling, whom commentators have tried to tie to the Republican Party after his alleged racist statements, is in fact a Democrat, according to campaign contribution records.
