Out on a limb 

This is amusing. The wingnuts got caught with their biases showing!

Rand Paul Condemns Cliven Bundy's Remarks on Blacks

For about 48 hours, this obvious right wing cowboy got a lot of right wing press for standing up to old Uncle and defending his rights to graze his cattle where he fuckin' wants.

Instant support from the talking heads at Faux News and other right wing outlets.

Then, they realized that he had somehow slipped in a rather blatant comment about "the blacks" and, on second reading, they ran for the hills.

Presumably the city slickers could find the hills, this being the wide open spaces.

And then, to add even more amusement, Old Clive went to the microphones and repeated the slur all over again.

Why is it that in addition to being wrong a lot of these guys manage to be outspokenly stupid as well?

Rand Paul was smart enough to catch himself or his staff was. The second round of racism got a lot of the righties crawling out from under the big pile of cowshit that Bundy had delivered.

What fun!

I don't know if Clyde is right about his grazing rights or not. He had a lot of support from other ranchers.

But then this is another example of conservative hypocrisy. Decry the government handouts to others but protect your own benefits. There is nothing wrong with taking government help. Or using government land, to be specific. Just don't be a dumbass about it and fly under the radar like the rest of us. Reserve your outrage for things you are not doing and would not do.

NB: The American Flag across the right shoulder. Flag wavers. Beware of them.
