I am certain he is being quoted incorrectly, and I am certain his premise is correct...he’s still extremely unwise to even bring it up. He needed to stay on point. He made the same fatal flaw of some of our candidates. Stay on message.
Mr. Bundy is not a politician or a candidate for anything. But he needs to do what a tea party candidate should do. Stand by your statements and don't back down. He has a good message. And he is right. He just didn't use the exact right words.
The problem is, there are no right words that a conservative can say. According to the media. Or the left. Same thing, but anyway....I have no tolerance for racists. Nothing in what Mr. Bundy said sounded to me to be racist. Everything he said sounds racist to Liberals. So, who's right?
Heck, I don't know the man, maybe he is a racist. But there is nothing wrong with this particular message. As a matter of fact it needs to be hammered into the nation's consciousness. By a more polished messenger to be sure.
Exactly. And the fact that he is NOT a hayseed makes me extremely suspicious, because he did nothing less than hand the MSM a golden opportunity to spin their absolutely favorite slander against the Right.
How on earth could he possibly think they wouldn't do exactly what they're doing with his words?
But it’s not as if he’s running for office! What Hannity, Beck, Drudge, etc.. must realize is that whatever the man says is what he feels! It may not seem politically correct, but he’s not running for office, is he? What do they expect; for people to leave him out in the desert to be tyrannized, just because he said something shocking?
Why don’t they take a moment to hear what he actually said? Sheesh! It seems to me they would be more concerned that we are being run by a bunch of tyrants who are running the country into a ditch, than a guy or gal that says something politically incorrect. Honestly, they did this to Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and Phil Robertson among others!
Why do many so-called conservatives in the news bellyache about what someone says, then go into doom and gloom mode. They warn public figures to desert that person and leave them to suffer because they said something so terrible! All they have to do is ask him what he meant to say and maybe gently warn him to be careful of the media wolves that are out there to distort whatever he says?
This could happen to them themselves, or has in the past to a few,(people like Hannity, Beck, Drudge, etc..) and what would they do if people deserted them in their hour of need, just because they said something politically incorrect? Good grief! If the man said that and he was running for political office, they could choose to not support him. But this is a matter of life and death-not a matter of politics!
