Judge Napolitano, revealing why the American judicial system is such a shambles.
I stopped reading right there.
So basically now we have it:
First Paula Deen, so now all Southerners are racists
Next, Cliven Bundy, so now all cowboys are racists
Third, Clippers owner, Sterling, so now all Jewish people are racists
The only people that can be trusted are Eastern seaboard and West Coast Progressives, right? Gads, the propaganda.
So did I.
The anti-Semitic blacks are going after the Jew
Bundy suggested nothing of the kind. He said that the Democrats, the party of the Klan, have put blacks in a position as bad for them as slavery with a welfare structure that destroys families and character. His statement is obviously true, and obviously the opposite of racism. Unlike the far left, Bundy cares about the harm that leftism does to decent people, regardless of their skin color.
I tire of the articles with 80% preamble explaining the author’s outrage followed by a weak defense of Free Speech. Must tread lightly or they’ll lose the cushy commentator job too.
Bundy was contrasting the 1950s black family to the current government housing black family. The present federal slave state is dehumanizing and more evil than the antebellum south.
Do not believe the Judge has all the facts. I always liked pretty much everything he said. The question is, is this early dementia or is he just following orders?
They are going after everybody, Jewish, Southern, westerner
you have to be a Mohammedan from the coast in order to pass muster, no matter what murder may be in the coastal Mohammedan’s heart
I have decided that yelling and throwing things at my computer is too expensive and just drives the blood pressure higher.
“Bundy suggesting that African-Americans might do well to consider slavery over freedom...”
You are wrong judge... for one am not buying your analysis, and your commentary disappoints me...
The media “suggested”, “inflamed”, “insinuated” that Cliven Bundy’s comments were racist, taken out of context, fueled by race-pimping zealots like Sharpton, Jackson and the usual local suspects and their allies in the media...
All of us need to learn from these post-incident personal interest stories the media foists upon these 15 minute celebrities...It is much better to say nothing if it doesn’t have anything directly involving your differences of opinion with someone, some issue, some government action/entity...Speak to that, nothing else...
Know that those aligned against you want you to slip up and say something about race these days, about the economy, about Obama, whatever...That gives them and out and makes you look like a fool in the end when your story fades to black...
This is supposedly an educated man who doesn’t even bother to review Bundy’s actual words before condemning him.
I was impressed by the honest concern in Bundy’s statement for people of all races, Mexican, Black and people in general. He was telling the truth which is that the Liberal schemes have entrapped the Black families and damaged their social structure to a greater extent than slavery did. Nowhere did he suggest that slavery was something good.
Liberals are destroying choice and opportunities for Blacks by keeping them dependent so that they can use them as a voting block. Democrats have no interest in actually allowing the poor to advance and decide their own destiny. The welfare programs are set up in such a way that the recipients have monetary disadvantages in having an intact family and they get additional money and benefits by having additional children and by having them classified as disabled etc. How many children are being denied a mainstream education because their Moms need/want the extra stipend that comes from being classified?
The Democrats & President Obama’s administrations are all about closing the school voucher system that was successfully allowing children a path out and families a choice in DC. The founder of Planned Parenthood was a racist who wanted to prevent the birth of Black babies. There is still a vast disproportion of Black abortions. She is a liberal hero. Mr Bundy is being used to gin up Black votes for the fall and foment more Black/White divison by a very cynical political class and Judge Napolitano has missed his chance to set the record straight.
It's really hard to believe that the Judge Napolitano I have seen on TV wrote this. It's like some liberal wrote it under his by line.
The First Amendment was NOT written to protect hateful speech, although hateful speech is protected under any rational reading of the First Amendment. It was written to protect minority and unpopular political viewpoints, "hateful" or not. A man of Judge Napolitano's training and experience should absolutely be able to understand that difference, which isn't even really a subtle difference.
FU Judge you sell out POS political correctness is a cancer and you need serious chemotherapy.
Maybe someone should explain what juxtapose means. If this guy really was a judge I wonder if those convicted could a case for having it overturned.
Me too!
He chose to make up the facts he needed. I am appalled at Napolitano's reckless scholarship on this article. I have lost a ton of respect for him. If this is an example of the type of scholarship that has gone into his books, then his books are not worth the paper they are printed on.
If I were Bundy, I'd sue the pants off Napolitano for this article.
Napolitano has shown a reckless disregard of the facts and in the process he has attempted to put words into Bundy's mouth that he never said or in any way insinuated.
Oh, what nonsense. You'll know "racial hatred" when it hits you in the head from behind with a brick, Judge.
