Regardless of whether he did or didn’t make such comments, what do they have to do with the land issue?

It’s like when corrupt figures in the government started leaking “Joe the Plumber’s” financial history and infractions to discredit him after he was mentioned in the 2008 debate. It was Mr. Obama who said “it’d be better if we spread the wealth around” and that was the issue at hand.

Not a thing, not a thing! It is only for the purpose of demonizing him so that when the Government murders him and his family, the sheep will bleat, "He was a kook, he got what he deserved. The brave Government Agents were only doing their job." "No great loss."

I agree.

The comments aren’t connected to the land issue at all.

Bundy had best not speak of social/political issues at this time, Harry Reid and the NYT out to get him and turn what was once sympathetic people to his cause against him. They are experts at that and he is not, although his arguments are well taken, they are politically incorrect.

“Regardless of whether he did or didn’t make such comments, what do they have to do with the land issue?”

Good question.

And why the hell is he bringing race into it and talking about slavery?

Nobody cares about his social engineering theories. He is beginning to sound like a big government type. Cattle ranchers get subsidies as well.

Obama basically told the world, 'I am a Marxist' --- and the Media rushed to change the story to digging up some dirt on Joe the Plumber.
Of course the Media is made up of Marxist, Sodomite loving, Godless atheists - so no surprise, but still irritating.

That reminds me of how the libtard media handled Linda Tripp's recording of Lewinsky's phone calls. Instead of concentrating on the fact that Lewinsky was trying to get Tripp to perjure herself, they went with "what kind of friend records her friend's conversations?"

The next time, and there will be a next time, that the BLM shock troops surround the ranch in Southern Nevada it will be ok because Bundy is a racist. The actual issues will be moot.
