What's the matter? No more love for your anti-big government hero all of a sudden? Fox News and rightwingers couldn't shut up about the guy a week ago. Now suddenly they're all like, Bundy? Who is Bundy?
I'm enjoying watching Conservatives falling all over each other as they run away from this guy as fast as they possibly can. It's great entertainment.
Everyone has the right to freedom of speech. Wether you think it is right or wrong is your opinion. The past history of this country seems a shock to someone such as yourself.
Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy made some disparaging remarks about "the Negro":
“They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton,” Bundy was quoted as saying to a group of supporters last Saturday. “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.”
Bundy is the antithesis of a patriot. He loudly denounces America and publicly refuses to acknowledge its existence, as he greedily profits at the public's expense.

Part of the right of fee speech is to point out when other people are morons after they speak.
I know this is an extremely difficult concept for some of you to understand, but please try.

Senator Rand Paul, a strong Bundy supporter, "was not available for immediate comment."

What does Bundy making ignorant comments have to do with the BLM issue? Is it okay to kill a rancher's cattle, and surround him with 200 armed federal agents over cows, grass and turtles, because he makes stupid, racist comments?

Liberalism has never been about accepting all views. The people on this forum for some reason thinks tolerance means all inclusive, it does not. It means accepting ones views that are reasonable even if you personally disagree with them.

Well, everyone is free to be racist if they choose.... individual Liberty!
It doesn't mean you as an individual have to agree.
You are definitely right you can be a racist if you want but if much of a political demographic supports this line of thinking dont be surprised if the impact of such views play a major role in the outcome of future elections.
