Statements like these serve two and only two purposes: they let racists get away with racism, and they identify the speakers as total morons.
Listen, I don’t hate midgets. I just thik they should wear baggy pants, hats with bells on them, and fucking dance for my amusement all day.
I think it’s a damn shame that Bundy was so overtly racist. Because the right supporting him really does provide a truly beautiful example of right-wing hypocrisy.
To clarify, (I hope) you mean the racism diverts attention from the more important RW hypocrisy of the original cause for which they rallied 'round him.
I’m sure for some, the statements gave them a cover for backing down after realizing “Holy fuck, Hannity’s wrong, I need to get out of this shitpile pronto”.
I’ll be in ma bunk…
…weeping.

Hostility and racism are two separate dimensions. Another is stupidity.
OP get to fuck-stepping, you stupid fuck.
Don’t they do that now?!
and so what I’ve testified to you – I was in the Watts riot, I seen the beginning fire and I seen that last fire.

Anyway, I struggled to decide for a long time which I would rather do for 40 years:
Take the government dime, and sit on a concrete sidewalk.
Or

I chose the one that diminishes my self-respect and doesn’t include being touched up with a whip.

Fox News’ Howard Kurtz Slams Fox News Coverage of Cliven Bundy
Really love the first definition of racism by the World English Dictionary. It’s the first one I’ve seen that unarguably includes so-called “scientific” racism.
Exactly. An old, white rancher says something offensively racist? Meh. An old, white rancher basically lives off government subsidies, steals government land for decades, and brings a bunch of armed friends when the government decides that enough is enough and tries to remove his cattle from federal land? It’s the equivalent of FOX News backing someone committing welfare fraud (á la Reagan’s classic “Welfare Queen” myth) who then screams “get your dirty government hands off my welfare!” and waves a gun around when the local officials cut off her welfare under all but her real name and address. Of course, if that was what was going on, FOX would be screaming about how the government should have arrested that lazy welfare queen…
Or perhaps the Melchior effect where the OP redefines any word or words they choose to meet their needs.
Fuck No. FUCK NO! FUUUUCK NOOO!
Racist aren’t shamed enough on this board. And the word is used where it fits.

For some reason, the first time around I overlooked the qualifier “obviously” in the OP.
As if perhaps there was some room for debate around whether the comments were stupid or offensive.
I think abjectly is the more fitting word to plug in there, dumbass.
