“SEAN HANNITY Responds to Cliven Bundy’s “Beyond Repugnant, Beyond Despicable” Racist Comments (Video)”

Notice how vociferous a conservative must denounce anyone who is perceived to be conservative and racist. In America today, there is nothing more damning than to be called a racist. So, Hannity couldn’t simply say it was a stupid remark. He had to say it was disgusting beyond words. This is to put as much distance between himself and Bundy as possible.

Not that I support it, but it is not illegal to be racist. Yet.

The power of the media in creating a "death sentence" for racial remarks is irresistible. Bundy is dead.

“In America today, there is nothing more damning than to be called a racist.”

Maybe “child molester”, but in either case the result is about the same: no actions have to even be proved nor do any other actions or accomplishments matter whatsoever unless the charge is conclusively and completely disproved. Even the appearance of having any inclination that way renders one pretty much a pariah. Just the way it is.

It is the ultimate taboo. We cannot honestly address some the most bluntly obvious failures in our culture because of this taboo.

Hannity was a lot more embarrassing than Bundy could ever be.
