It looks like a bad SNL parody, but I fear that this is a real campaign ad. If it is a SNL parody I will laugh but if that is actually Cliven Bundy and this is supposed to be serious then WTF.

Besides, there are enough actual bigots like Mr. Cloven Hoof Bundy to go around, to last us a fuckin' lifetime, pretty much. We don't need to attack fellow liberals over perceived misdeeds as well(not to mention that if there *IS* any group out there that really can't be racist, in modern America, it's genuine liberals, of any ethnicity).

But just like the Republican version of conservatives, they are never for anything, they just seem to instinctively be against everything.

I barely thing of them as conservatives anymore I have brought back the old term reactionary which seems to fit them better. It's as if they are incapable of having an idea of their own and just automatically form an opinion against whatever ideas others have.

Because unlike support for Gay Marriage, and women's rights(which most Democrats really DO agree with).....WP actually is pretty damn divisive and quite a few liberals out there DO take issue with it. Especially given it's abuse by certain factions of the SJ movement on the 'Net.

(BTW.....a lot of progressives and other liberals don't believe in literal "white privilege", and some don't even agree with the use of the term, period. Are they all closeted Cliven Bundy supporters? SMDH. )

A majority of Democrats DO believe that White Privilege exists.....therefore THAT is the opinion of the Democrats not necessarily the opinions.....of outsiders....that being the Democrat leaning "Independents".....

I dunno what your issue is, exactly, but I supported Obama 100% in 2012 and will be supporting Wendy Davis here in Texas where I live in this year's elections.

But what bothers me is that you just had to lump in people who disagree with you in with an actual racist dickhead like Mr. Bundy here. And that's just unfortunate.

Saw this drivel on Daily Kos. Goes to prove that you cannot paint a race with one brush. The black guy seems to be a mirror image of the white welfare queen...hate, hate, and hate some more. Of course, Holder was too chicken-shit to do anything to Cliven. By the way, what the hell kind of name is "Cliven?"

But seriously, Bundy is in deep denial of his prejudices(yes, denial; I highly doubt he isn't aware of them.....most racists and other bigots ARE, especially these days).....but I almost feel sorry for the other guy. Does he really think Bundy cares about African-Americans?

I'm glad they want to talk about racial issues. I think an open dialogue is a great idea. I agree with them that we should be able to talk about issues without name calling. I would love for Eric Holder to go and debate Bundy. In my opinion, more public discussions about race relations in the US, where people of different view points can feel free to describe their perception of reality without being personally attacked, would be very beneficial.
