Let me get this straight… so Donald Sterling the owner of the Clippers gets banned in the NBA for life and gets a very large fine for saying controversial racist comments but nothing happens to Cliven Bundy after he made those comments about comparing the Feds take over of his land to black slaves??? Even if Cliven Bundy made those comments — sure enough, Conservatives/Republicans were still defending him and staying by his side. Donald Sterling gets in trouble and Bundy gets a free pass? Yep, everybody thinks what Sterling said was bad while everyone still stood up to Cliven Bundy. Bundy made those comments and he’s still hiding behind the “Constitution”.
I’m not defending Donald Sterling, I hate what he said too and think they are racist comments but everybody should look at Cliven Bundy the same way. That’s kind of the point I’m trying to make, ya know what I mean? The only reason Conservatives/Republicans are still defending Cliven Bundy despite his racist comments is because they worship him for fighting back at the Feds. You know how people are. They’ll worship their heroes no matter how much trouble they get in the media.
This is almost starting to make me feel ashamed to be a right-winger a little bit. People are delusional and messed up in this country. Racism is obviously a huge problem still. If Dr. Martin King was still alive today… he would be disgusted with America playing the race-card. I think Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are lousy activists. Dr. King would have handled things better than they did.

Freedom of speech. Bundy is entitled to his opinion just as Sterling, however, the NBA has rules and is a private entity with a brand to protect, so the acted accordingly.
If it’s freedom of speech, then it should work both ways. Not to mention how come Ted Nugent couldn’t have his “opinion” toward Barack Obama?

You’re the one who seems to always feel offended at “racist” comments so it’s kind of funny how you would think Bundy is entitled to his own opinion, you wannabe activist.

Well, if you’re gonna be an asshole like usual, then I’m closing this. Don’t feel like a debate. Why do you always reply to my politics posts only? You don’t get into any of the fun stuff like the other topics that I do. You’re just a bully and can’t seem to get the hint.
