SELDOM IS HEARD A DISCOURAGING WORD.

A lot of liberals are laughing because Cliven Bundy, the cowboy at war with the U.S. government and secessionist poster boy of the Right, made some of those insane comments about black people that have become a conservative specialty ("I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro... They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves...").

Don't laugh too soon. Insane comments about black people became a conservative specialty for a reason.

At Raw Story the headline on Arturo Garcia's story says "Conservatives begin backing away after Cliven Bundy’s remarks disparaging 'the Negro,'" but Garcia himself merely asserts that "Republican politicians began backtracking on their support" -- which is wise, because conservatives as such are mostly keeping quiet about it.

A couple have taken the opportunity to embarrass themselves; Dana Loesch, for example, is all over the place, softening Bundy's comments ("big government has negatively affected not just the black family, but all families regardless of ethnicity"), then implying Bundy was misquoted ("it’s justified to have a healthy suspicion of the New York Times"), then trying to change the subject ("what exactly does that have to do with the BLM?"). But mostly the brethren seem to hope we can get past this unfortunate business, and back to the war on the U.S. government, which they think is a winning position.

For conservatives -- and we're talking about the not-totally-insane contingent that acknowledges the existence of racism -- the subject is kind of an eat-your-vegetables thing. The ooga-booga stuff is so much more fun, and keeps the troops energized. Normally I don't like to drag rightblogger commenters into these things because of the high noise-to-signal ratio in their portrayal of conservative consensus, but it is depressingly expected that when National Review's Michael Potemra criticizes a racist rant  (of the passive-aggressive, what's-wrong-with-racism, "humans like to be among their own kind" variety -- you know, Rod Dreher stuff), nearly all of his commenters defend the racist (e.g., "an article saying what is essentially common sense and well known to be true by pretty much everyone is somehow considered out of bounds in our Orwellian culture"). These are the bitter-enders to which most of the top-shelf conservative writers aim their pep talks, and most of them know better than to get on their wrong side.

UPDATE. In what I expect will become a model for the genre, National Review's Kevin D. Williamson points out that sometimes liberators such as Gandhi have foolish ideas -- which is common sense, except that he seems to think Bundy is such a liberator. He also compares the Bundy standoff to John Brown at Harpers Ferry, which under the current circumstances is especially funny. Why Williamson isn't at the Ranch with a musket if he really believes all this -- wait, I think I answered my own question.

UPDATE 2. I was wondering when the libertarians would come stumbling in. Jonathan Chait having noticed that Where Secessionists Go, Racist Trouble Follows, Reason's J.D. Tuccille first assures everyone he's no racist, then:
[Bundy's comments are] contemptible stuff. It was also contemptible when progressives merged pseudo-scientific racist notions with their ideology...
Yes, Tuccille goes straight for "Woodrow Wilson was a liberal fascist, your argument is invalid." Also, Robert Byrd was a Klansman, just like all statists! After the history lecture, Tuccille goes for Routine 12, aka Blame the Media:
"Why do all these people with strong antipathy toward the federal government turn out to be racists?" asks Chait. Maybe it's because the cameras and journalists focus on one loudmouth on horseback, even as representatives of nine state governments meet in Salt Lake City at the Legislative Summit on the Transfer of Public Lands.
Maybe it was because the summitteers didn't threaten federal agents with guns, which has long been a sure-fire way to get in the papers. Come to think of it, why didn't the rest of Bundy's live-free-or-kill squad announce "Screw it, Salt Lake City is where the action is" days ago? Could it be that the promise of separatist violence is a big part of the draw?

UPDATE 3. Bryan Preston, I think you have a little spittle in the corner of your mouth:
Wanting people to be free, independent and self-reliant, and hoping for a government that fosters those values, equals racism now? Today it does, tomorrow it won’t, as soon as some prog hero talks good about working their way up from nothing without even having to resort to fake claiming to be a minority to further their academic career, or falsifying a wartime military career.
Libtards are all born rich and spend their days lying and draft-dodging. Say, maybe I've had George W. Bush wrong all this time!
Bundy’s remarks will have fewer real-world consequences than many uttered by Margaret Sanger, yet today she’s a progressive hero...
Again with the liberal fascism history lectures. Someone invent a time machine so these guys can feel superior somewhere besides the holodeck.

    "... then trying to change the subject ("what exactly does that have to do with the BLM?") ..."

    They don't think it's changing the subject. Remember that on conservative world libruls are the real racists because MLK cheated on his wife, but Cliven Bundy, David Duke and the rest still have valid ideas that must be respected.

    If liberals and Democrats argued like conservatives, this is the moment we would NOT let Cliven Bundy fade into the woodwork; right now is when every Dem on every talk show would point out that the conservative view on states' rights is a cover for racism, always has been and has never been anything else. (Unlike conservative arguments, this is true.) Bundy's cattle would then be taken from him by guys coming in on ACTUAL BLACK HELICOPTERS just as soon as enough TV crews could get there to ensure the whole thing is nationally televised.

    You know, I should no longer be surprised by this, but it's just a telling thing that a guy thinks his sociological expertise is authoritative enough to tell the New York Times, based on the fact that he drove by and saw some people out of his car window.
    Here's a man who didn't bother to get out of his car and speak to anyone, yet he knows they're on public assistance. Here's a man who sees small children and old people socializing with their neighbors on their front porch, and thinks that's a bad thing. Here's a man who holds himself up as a virtuous defiant against a supposed un-just law, yet blames young black men for being disproportionately incarcerated. Here's a man simultaneously criticizing people for having too many children, in the same breath accusing them of aborting their babies.
    And WTF is with the "they never learned to pick cotton" remark? Is his position that African Americans should have remained agricultural laborers perpetually?
    I really have to question a person's thought processes who says stuff like this, and feels comfortable airing it to a major national media outlet. It's like he's so flattered at all the attention he's letting his freak flag out for all to see.

So there's really no value in trying to improve people's taste--like giving them "flights" of various flavors of conservativism. Just get 'em good and dead drunk as quick as you can.

The news outlets could be asking the BLM and the IRS how long it will be before they freeze Bundy's bank accounts, and they could be interviewing neighboring ranchers to ask them if THEY feel like chumps for paying their grazing fees all these years, but what fun would that be?

  22. For a certain type of person, seeing black people in a house is proof that they're on benefits. There's a term for that kind of person...can't quite place it at the moment, though.


    And while it's not as explosive as the "Up With Slavery" part, it is a shame that TPM left out the bit where he got upset that a family was hanging out on the porch together. That seems like the kind of thing a good ol' family values guy would like. Now in context, it does sound a little like he's concerned that these lazy people aren't off working themselves into an early grave. Damn it, what is the word for a person who makes those kind of assumptions? This is going to drive me crazy.

    No, asshole, but, “I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro,” the rancher began as he described a "government house" in Las Vegas where he recalled that all the people who sat outside seemed to "have nothing to do."
    “And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do?” he said, as quoted by the Times. “They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. 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.

    The old-school racists I've met have dropped their racist wisdom on me no hesitation. When I have demurred, their reaction has not been one of "Maybe I should reexamine my beliefs" or "Maybe not everyone thinks the way I do." Nope -- they go with "Ugh, he's another dupe of the liberal PC elite, brainwashed so thoroughly he lies about what he knows to be true even when there's no one around to turn him in."


    I suspect Bundy thinks that being brazenly racist will win him more hearts and minds among all Americans. We're all waiting, you see, for someone brave enough to simply to Speak Truth.


    He might even think minorities will agree with him. "Yes, we must protest for appearance's sake, but in our hearts we know the cranky white man is right; we have been scamming the government for assistance for decades, and if we worked hard instead, and gave up the drugs and hippity-hop, we'd become real Americans."

    More video has emerged of Cliven Bundy's slavery remarks, and they now include a bit about "the Spanish people" -- by whom Bundy appears to mean undocumented Hispanic immigrants. But there's a twist: The Nevada rancher actually seems quite fond of them.

    "Now let me talk about the Spanish people," Bundy said in a new video unearthed by New York magazine, right after he concluded his thoughts on "the Negro."

    "I understand that they come over here against our Constitution and cross our borders," he says. "But they're here and they're people. I worked side-by-side a lot of them. Don't tell me they don't work, and don't tell me they don't pay taxes. And don't tell me they don't have better family structures than most of us white people."

    Hey, he's just for family values!! Not his fault "colored people" don't have none.

    In the Watts riots?
    On the evening of Wednesday, August 11, 1965, 21-year-old Marquette Frye, an African American man behind the wheel of his mother's 1955 Buick, was pulled over by white California Highway Patrol motorcycle officer Lee Minikus on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. Minikus was convinced that Frye was under the influence and radioed for his vehicle to be impounded. Marquette's brother Ronald, a passenger in the vehicle, walked to their house nearby, bringing their mother, Rena Price, back with him. When Rena Price reached the intersection of Avalon Boulevard and 116th Street that evening, she scolded Frye about drinking and driving, he recalled in a 1985 interview with the Orlando Sentinel. The situation quickly escalated: Someone shoved Price, Frye was struck, Price jumped an officer, another officer pulled out a shotgun. Backup police officers attempted to arrest Frye by using physical force to subdue him. After rumors spread that the police had roughed Price up and kicked a pregnant woman, angry mobs formed. As the situation intensified, growing crowds of local residents watching the exchange began yelling and throwing objects at the police officers. Frye's mother and brother fought with the officers and they were eventually arrested along with Marquette Frye. After Price's and the Frye brothers' arrests, the crowd continued to grow. Police came to the scene to break up the crowd several times that night, but were attacked by rocks and concrete.

    Yep, "subsidies" alright.

    Damnit, the sirens lured me out, but the top-rated comments are such fun:
    "Bundy’s remarks are reprehensible and indefensible."

    Based on what, Bryan? Politically incorrect & a bit blunt but hardly what you describe above.

    Ah fame, thy name is fleeting! Just last weekend, Bundy's philosophy of life as "America's newest hero" was being rhapsodically reported, unplugged and unspun, in conservative media (e.g. http://www.wnd.com/2014/04/americas-newest-hero-meet-the-real-cliven-bundy/). But already we are being scolded for taking his untutored opinions "out of context", refusing to acknowledge that he's just an uneducated old rancher who doesn't have the liberal advantage of a professional spin-meister.

    "Wanting people to be free, independent and self-reliant, and hoping for a government that fosters those values, equals racism now?"


    If there's one thing black people had during slavery, it was freedom. Freedom is slavery, after all, I read that in a book somewhere.


    Anyway, I admit that my first instinct was to think that this didn't have much to do with Bundy's legal disputes, but it is kind of disingenuous for somebody who wants to be free of federal interference to advocate slavery. Apparently only Bundy and people like him deserve freedom; the rest of us deserve a strong hand to tell us where to go and what to do, because when some people are given freedom they just waste it on useless things like having children and living in houses.

    The big disconnect between me and the racists is that this doesn't sound like a dystopia to me.


    It actually sounds quite nice, sitting outside, relaxing, enjoying the weather and getting to know your friends and family. That sounds like the kind of thing everybody wants to be able to do. A suburban paradise.


    Even if we lived in some bizarre alternate universe where all black people were on the dole and spent their time lazing about, that's still fucking better than slavery, asshole.


    First of all, you don't learn a good work ethic when you're a slave; you don't derive any benefits from your labor, and your boss is a scumbag who beats you. This is not an environment that teaches you the value of a good days work.


    Slaves had no freedom of movement. It was impossible to form stable families because their spouses and children could be sold at any time. They could be beaten and tortured.


    To say that all of that cruelty was justified because at least slaves were doing something is monstrous.

    The complete lack of self-awareness is astounding. IIRC, the grazing fee is ridiculously low--$1.35 per cow per month (and cow/calf combinations are treated as one cow).

And he still won't pay the dollar-thirty-five, becuz fedrul gummint bad?

He does not question himself. He does not block himself from doing what feels natural for him to do. That's all really, really healthy. I'm sure he feels very happy and at peace with himself.

    Oh, the problem isn't his opinions, repulsive though they are. The problem is that he's an armed psycho who is breaking the law and will shoot at any representative of the legitimate authority who comes to tell him to stop breaking the law. And for this, the anarchist scum that are so common in our time are holding him up as a hero.


    Now he's said something that will make it all the more obvious that he's a moronic asshole. I know, I know - I personally feel that the whole violent gun-nuttery thing is far more serious. But gun-nuttery is seen as cool, while racism is considered decidedly uncool, so this will persuade people who otherwise wouldn't have seen it that he's a worthless piece of shit.

  141. I am curious what other ranchers think of him. It just occurred to me today, this all started when the BLM, for conservation reasons, reduced the nimbler of cattle permitted on their land back in '92. All the other ranchers complied. This raised their costs which surely had the effect of both lowering their profit margins AND raising the price of beef in the market. Except this guy, who went and doubled his publicly-grazed herd and stopped paying any fees at all. So, not only are his costs greatly reduced compared to his competitors but the prices he gets went up as well due to the rest of the ranchers' compliance. How is that fair? He's been taking a major competitive advantage over the other ranchers. And unless he's been selling his cattle at a steep discount for the last 20 years, he's been cheating the consumers and the Allmighty Market, Praised Be Its Name.

    Stick up for those who don't have Bundy's immense privilege sometime. You know, for "intellectual consistency". But I'm thinking you are too obtuse to give a fuck, aren't ya hoss?

    One of the more amusing things about the white supremesissies is their idea that "ethnicity" applies to everyone but them when, in fact, they're among the most pronounced and exclusive ethnic groups in America...

    Why is it that dumb people retreat to "I guess I struck a nerve" when people get upset about just how fucking stupid they are? I'm offended by your stupidity, jackass, your lack of understanding, your moral and intellectual vacancy, your existence as a self-described "fatmouth". And the "real racist" thing is the tops. I don't hate all white people, obviously, since that's the skin I walk around with, but I really, really resent those who really think that the answer to "Is America still racist?" is "Al Sharpton is the real racist". You are a discredit to our race, buddy. You make us look bad.

    Bundy could have went "Wee-wee-wee all the way home!" and we of the Leftist Establishment (don't forget to capitalize) would not give two shits. Because the real issue here is the rightwing noise machine building this guy up (for profit, of course) as the modern Washington Crossing the Delaware.

    Then when he's shown for who he is, the rightwing noise machine slinks off. They play your type for the sucker you are.

    No, me. I'm pissed. Not you. I'll add illiterate to your overall portfolio of awesomeness. Well, us liberals with our "guilt" have to show the rest of America and the world that we aren't all proudly ignorant assholes. But don't worry, it's our cross to bear.

    You are obsessed with hypocrites. I suspect the strength of this monomania indicates a childhood with hypocritical parents who demanded perfection while proving themselves anything but perfect.

    No doubt they also railed about the hypocriy of others while they did the same, and now you must wander the earth in search of someone on which to inflict your pain and project the actions of your mother and father.

    I suggest therapy.
