Even Hannity is abandoning Bundy (while making sure to mention a double-standard regarding racism and that Democrats are actually even more racist). It's going to be funny watching them try to shut him up now that he's saying things that make them look stupid. They wanted people to pay attention and now we are!

Maybe he's onto something. If slavery was still legal upstanding white men like Cliven Bundy would cut out the middleman, call up armed militias to protect his negroes, and let them continue eating the grass on federal land for free, rather than this roundabout bureaucratic mess of red-tape where they're burdened with free will and citizenship and electronic beep boop cards that let them into the same supermarkets as white folk.

I realize that this board has brought up "Southern Strategy" quite a bit, but whenever I seem to look at the modern "Conservative" as it stands right now, it purely seems to be the descendants of the confederacy. Not even purely from a "They're racist, and support policies to hurt minorities" type of thing (Which is true), but from the perspective of them just seemingly right in line with everything the anti-federalists/confederacy seemed to champion. It just seems like they're just being pushed more and more in that direction. It's not like that they didn't hold those types of beliefs before, but it is literally like someone flipped a switch in their brains as soon as Obama was elected to just flip the gently caress out over everything.

Terrorist attacks happen in Republican administrations because the terrorists hate our freedoms and see how much of a threat America is to them. Terrorist attacks happen in Democratic administrations because the terrorists see how weak America is.

I know the Feds wanted to avoid any bloodshed but letting right-wing militias essentially seize government land with no repercussions seems like its setting a really bad precedent and inviting a lot more of this behavior. I asked this in the political cartoons thread but meant to post it here.

I just want to stuff him in a locker or give him a swirly. One thing I do notice through listening to this poison, every host calls their other hosts or guests "my friend" or some other thing like that all the time. It's really weird.

"Obama shoots patriotic cowboys" was going to be bad going into the mid terms. I have no doubt that federal authorities are quietly building a case against Bundy so they can come down on him like a ton of bricks in 6 months. I wouldn't be surprised if they are also writing down license plates and gathering photos to build cases against the more belligerent supporters, and they'll also be getting visits about 'interfering with federal agents'. Considering the lengths federal agencies have gone through in the past to eventually nail their targets with something, it is incredibly naive of the Bundy supporters to think they have won, and that the feds are just going to drop the whole thing.

To be fair, this isn't exactly a group known for it's long-term thinking, and a lot of them probably saw this as their best shot to kick off the long-awaited CWII. Remember; they still consider themselves part of a silent, white majority who is almost as fed up with Obama's America as they are, and all media they consume reinforces this.

Limbaugh came back from hiatus today  quote:RUSH: Professor Mark Rank, Washington University, coauthor of Chasing the American Dream: Understanding What Shapes Our Fortunes, tells a story of his own and others' research, last Sunday's New York Times. quote:RUSH: There's something that I want to spend some time on -- if it takes the next two days discussing with you, and it may. There's a new book out. I became aware of this while I was out, post-op. Some French socialist, Marxist, communist economist has published a book, and the left in this country is having orgasms over it. It's the number one book on Amazon. The guy's name is Thomas Piketty. It is timed coincidentally -- maybe not coincidentally -- you know, the Obama Regime and the Democrats are all on this big kick of income inequality and what to do about it. And this guy's book gives them ammo. quote:RUSH: There's a new book that the left has embraced. It's by a French Marxist economist named Thomas Piketty. Now, you may have heard this discussed. I first heard of this a few days ago. It's one of the reasons I've been chomping at the bit to get back here and discuss this. The reason it's being embraced is not just that it's Marxism and socialism and communism. It's embraced because it happens to coincide with Obama's big push here on income inequality. I'm told he pronounces the name Piketty. Piketty, Piketty, I couldn't care less. He's a wuss. Okay, Thomas Piketty. Fine, okay, that's how he pronounces his name. We'll give him that. Seems to me he's calling liberals fascists with greater frequency these days

I wonder how many of those are a 1 time thing that net them over $100,000 for the year. Like selling the family home after the kids move out and you're about to retire, or getting an inheritance. My wife and I made $150k one year, but that was because my father-in-law died and we sold the house he left to us.

Looks like he's quoting this op-ed which it doesn't explain itself and doesn't sound even remotely plausible. Maybe it includes people who inherit a house when their parents die or something. edit: ^ I swear I didn't read that before I posted the same idea, honest.
