And a spokesman for Heller told the Times that the senator “completely disagrees with Mr. Bundy’s appalling and racist statements, and condemns them in the most strenuous way.”

What exactly is "racist" about them? He used the word "Negro" -- still used in the NAACP title -- but otherwise was commenting on how the Great Society has harmed Black people. He never said anything about them being stupid or lazy. The context was that the government was to blame.

THEN HE SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT. "The Great Society program started by Johnson has hurt minorities in America." Was that so hard? Why bring slavery or cotton-picking into the commentary??? Sheesh.
