Right wing radio host defends Cliven Bundy, talks about Glenn Beck's secret UN agenda for race war

It should come as no surprise to learn that Pete Santilli, an Internet radio host best known for wishing he could shoot Hillary Clinton “right in the vagina” and helping to organize last year’s “Truckers For the Constitution” rally, has spent the last couple of weeks broadcasting live from Cliven Bundy’s ranch in Nevada.

Last Friday, Santilli filmed the press conference at which Bundy attempted to explain that his view that black people were better off under slavery isn’t racist. After Bundy spoke, Santilli announced that “somehow” the Bureau of Land Management had used the media to “hijack” the press conference by “injecting race and dividing us.”

So, naturally, Santilli decided to confront a local TV reporter who had apparently questioned Bundy on his views about race, drawing the attention of Bundy supporters standing nearby.

Later, talking to another reporter, Santilli accused Glenn Beck, who has criticized the Bundy ranch protester, of promoting a “race war” on behalf of the United Nations’ Agenda 21. That is surprising, given that Beck has written an entire book warning about the very same Agenda 21 conspiracy theory that he is being accused of promoting.

Then we could be rid of both of them. Just a thought on a Saturday morning.

is a brilliant strategy.....keep them on the stage as long as possible. Tie them around the necks of the Republican Party and let them wear the Cliven Bundy Ranch Albatross for as long as possible! Nobody shows how despicable the underbelly of the Republican party is like this bunch of ignorant yahoos!
