How? I don't know. But, that's what they'll tell you. They always well deserve everything they receive, even when they don't.

Wonder if they'd feel that way after a good kick in the arse?

IN GENERAL, I see no need to criticize everyone in the world who can be criticized. There are so many, after all. A claim that I can't criticize Bundy because I supposedly haven't criticized someone else is bullshit, a way of turning the conversation from Bundy to someone else. After all, even if the someone else is quite awful, it really has nothing to do with whether Bundy is good or bad.
But as it happens, I did comment on someone else, in this very thread. Called him a toad and stuff. http://www.politicalchat.org/showpos...&postcount=164

Well said. There is a enormous effort from the rightwing press to attempt a false equivalence argument in this to cover their asses for their fawning coverage of Bundy. Anyone in LA that reads the news has long understood that this NBA owner is nothing but a ultra rich racist slumlord. I'm happy that he's been caught out on his racism.

If the left (e.g., MSNBC) had been falling all over themselves calling Sterling a national hero before his racist comments became public, there may have been an equivalency. Since this wasn't remotely true, their false equivalence will fall only on deaf (or ignorant) ears.
What Bundy did (his deadbeat actions, not his racism) were not national news. It was Fox who went out of their way to make it national news in service of their anti-government agenda. Had they not lionized Bundy, he never would have scored the interview that brought the house down upon them.
I haven't read any of 4-2-7's posts, but I surmise that His Ignorance bought into the false equivalency.

You should participate in your own thread, but I do know how you like to stay away from the racist subject unless you can pin it on others.
