Nothing to see here… just another racist republican spewing forth his vitriol.
“I mean, everyone goes hysterical over two or three sentences, but let’s look at the actual deeds of people. If people discriminate, it’s against the law, they should be punished,” Kristol continued."
Mr Kristol, it was a 20 minute rant about minorities, not 2 or 3 sentences. And that was just the first go around. The next day Mr Bundy expanded on his views.
Should I take it then, Mr Kristol that racisim is really OK with you? And I think I am being quite reasonable and not hysterical at all. You would not like me if I got all hysterical, I assure you …sir.
“He then suggested that such racist remarks should just be dealt with privately.”
Ummm, … NO. It should be PUBLIC. Very public. So that the moron knows he was wrong. Otherwise nothing will come of it and Bundy won’t learn from his mistakes.
A good verbal spanking applied in public is what is required of Mr Bundy and now you as well Mr Kristol.
Mr. Kristol kept his mouth shut on Bundy’s racism all last week. When fellow Jew Sterling is accused of racism, it’s suddenly no big deal.We should ignore his words and go by his actions Kristol says.
“Sterling has priors when it comes to race. In a 2002 slumlord case against Sterling, he allegedly referred to African-Americans as poor tenant candidates because they “smell and aren’t clean.” Of Mexicans, Sterling said, they “just sit around and smoke and drink all day.” And Korean tenants? “I don’t have to spend any more money on them, they will take whatever conditions I give them and still pay the rent,” he said. Sterling in 2009 was required to pay big to settle a housing discrimination lawsuit. Deadspin offers some more offensive quotes from Sterling’s past, including his use of the N-word, and outrageously sexist comments as well.”
You can contact ABC and demand Kristol be removed from the program for his support of Sterling. He is a warmonger who does not deserve a spot on a Sunday Morning talk show.
Let your voice be heard.
Now, why would Kristol think calling out this billionaire bigot is being “hysterical”?
Perhaps it’s because, as Haaretz reports and according to Sterling, it’s all OK because “It’s the world! You go to Israel, the blacks are just treated like dogs.”
Saint? Kristol’s overseen the systematic institutional coverup of child rape over a multi-decade period? And here I thought he was just another stupid GOP asshole.
Bill Kristol, the Barometer of wrong, sounds like a Stewart piece.
“People say stupid things”: case in point. When is this smirking turd going to finally melt?
Someone on the Far Right needs to defend their fellow Republican? But then did anyone defend Limbaugh when he essentially said the same thing as Sterling and was fired from the ABC football team?
I don’t in any way excuse Bundy’s racism, but you can chalk up at least a cow-pie-sized chunk of his ignorance to the fact that he lives with a herd of cattle in the Nevada desert. I mean, how many Blacks has Bundy ever met?
Sterling is something else again. He’s owned a business (and presumably profited) for 30 years in an industry where highly educated employees at the very top of their field happen to be dominated by one ethnic group. And he is prejudiced against that very group. Unlike Bundy you can’t say that some of it derives from that fact that he’s merely isolated.
How fucking stupid do you have to be in this day and age to carry prejudice (much less express it) against your most valuable employees?
Kristol doesn’t get that. And as far as whether the Clippers have inculcated Sterling’s values or not, that remains to be seen.
Actually, I thought he was probably thinking about that old quote attributed to Napoleon - “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake”.
Given the current state of Conservative Hive Mind, I suspect folks will have a few more chances to use this in the coming months…
Why does anyone even give this Cretin a soap box to speak and remove all doubt of his stupidity?
Bill Kristol constantly brings new meaning and additional dimensions to the term “douchebag.”
They. Just. Don’t. Get. It.
Kristol on racism at the LA Clippers, 4/27/14: “You know, there’s no evidence of that, obviously.”
Kristol on Sunni-Shiite sectarian conflict in Iraq, 4/1/03: “There’s almost no evidence of that at all.”
And the hits just keep on comin’!
Yep, I saw that straw man get hysterical just a few minutes ago, Billy boy. Glad you’re calling him out before he distorts the discussion.
Idiot son of a crazy, resentful father, a man who’s been wrong about everything for at least 20 years, the genius who invented Sarah Palin. Neither Kristol’s deeds nor his speech matter to anyone but Sunday yak show bookers.
Like Paul Krugman, I would be drinking heavily if I had to sit next to Bill Kristol for any period of time. Frankly, I would be heavily armed and willing to shoot myself in my head.
