WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) — Republican politicians blasted the
Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy on Thursday for making flagrantly racist
remarks instead of employing the subtler racial code words the G.O.P.
has been using for decades. “We Republicans have worked long and hard to
develop insidious racial code words like ‘entitlement society’ and
‘personal responsibility,’ ” said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky). “There is
no excuse for offensive racist comments like the ones Cliven Bundy made
when there are so many subtler ways of making the exact same point.” Fox News also blasted the rancher, saying in a statement, “Cliven
Bundy’s outrageous racist remarks undermine decades of progress in our
effort to come up with cleverer ways of saying the same thing.”
