i) Is it true he said this? I could easily come and claim that I overheard you say XYZ, when it is not the case. I personally hold the need for evidence at a very high level, no matter who/what/where ...tell me Obama is a sot and I will still ask for evidence, although in his case it wouldn't be hard to get. So, did he actually say this?
ii) Let's assume he said it. Ok, he did. Let us even make it worse and claim he advocated for the killing and eating of newborns! Fact is, the case he has against the Fed is still valid. One thing I have noted is that many people lump issues together, which the media is trying to do here. An example: you find a great mechanic who is able to fix your car and do it with great efficacy at a throw-away price, but then you discover that in his free time, when he is at his home, he likes to spend his time going through Playboy magazines. So what! You are not after his services to find out what his reading, and other, habits are ...you are there to get your darn jalopy fixed! By the way this is something I have also seen with Conservatives, especially in the last election. You have a Conservative politician in the running, someTHING is revealed about him and her, everyone abandons him, and then move on to the next Conservative in the running. They also find someTHING 'wrong' with him, dump him, and move on to the next. When the story is over virtually ALL the Conservatives running had been in the lead, all had fallen off, and the person left was Mitt Romney, who everyone will admit is not a Conservative.
iii) As for the actual statement - assuming it is true - the man had every right to say it. Additionally, he makes good points (and I say this as a black man). However, in everything there is wisdom required. I have every right to say anything I want, but I also need the wisdom to see whether saying so would disadvantage me in an area I consider more important. For instance, at a job interview I may decide to say that I consider the office decor a throwback to the 70s, and that the interviewer definitely needs a breathmint (or ten) ...and it may be true. Is it necessary? Nope. Is it wise? Well, considering what my greater purpose is for me to be there, no it is not.

Well you have to take into account his background and experience. He’s probably uneducated and lived in a slower paced rural environment all of his life. It’s all he knows and he’s just reporting what he’s seen with his own eyes the best he know how and in the language he knows. Its too bad he’s naieve to the ways of the vulturistic PC knee-jerk reaction mindset liberal who likes to create dissension and division because it’s “exciting” and they thrive on it. He needs to be made aware of their methods.
Also I’m glad we have people of different races here who understand that we are united by God with a higher purpose; to live and do good and teach others about the Truth. Conservatives are often painted as hypocritical Caucasian Christians with white hair, KKK robes, that hate all other races, and enough extra money laying around to use for kindling in our fire places. Nothing could be further from the truth. From what I’ve seen most are independent, hard working folks of all races (many that are small business owners that worked very hard to get their businesses going), taxpaying folks that don’t expect handouts, take responsibility for their own actions (and don’t blame others), who attend church and contribute their time and money to good causes when they actually have it due to big government meddling with the economy that has almost made us drop a class.
