I saw this and just rolled my eyes. Label the guy a racist and all support will go away. Nobody wants to be associated with even an ACCUSED racist. Accusations are enough there. Next, someone heard he made homophobic remarks to so they can finish the job. This crap was old a long time ago.....

Read the article.

Huge supporter. And can someone (a supporter) PLEASE explain why this is OK with you? Guy owes at least a million to the feds (actually us, I'm not a zillionaire, don't know about the rest of you) by an act put through by Reagan! It's so simple, graze your cattle on federal lands and basically pay rent. This guy paid his "rent" for years and then decided he wasn't going to do it any more. And now you have people tripping over themselves defending him, people whom I suspect are "regular" folk who pay their taxes (and gripe about it, just as I do). Why should he get a free ride?

Why do "patriotism" and racism go hand in hand?

Conservatives begin backing away after Cliven Bundy’s remarks disparaging ‘the Negro’
Oh my Gosh...A right wing extremist militia member Nevada Rancher has negative views of Black people?

I'm appalled

So you consider his statement to be truth?

Why does this mean, "patriotism and racism go hand in hand?" That's using a pretty broad brush, don't you think? Loving one's country, and being ready and willing to defend it, even if it means giving up one's own life, does not equate to racism.

Do you think all veterans are racist too?

Tell me this is a joke.

Did Bundy show up at a BLM building with assault weapons and sniper rifles?

Yes, there is an issue of grazing rights ... but your "tried to create a battle with federal workers" is a galactically silly comment.

I honestly don't get it. People like Bundy go to church & believe in GOD & JESUS yet they 'judge' others on their skin color.
Talk about showing who he really is...sheesh he is a nutcase. What is more scary is there are so many like him.

Yes he did put his family in harms way when he made the decision to take a stand against the fed.

So, because Bundy may be doing all the things you mentioned above, that makes his obviously racist statement suddenly non-racist?

And you have never heard a Democrat with a negative view of black people, I suppose? Never heard of the KKK? Robert Byrd? Governor George Wallace? I think we could come up with a long list of Democrat racists. Don't you?
