“That’s exactly what I said. I said I’m wondering if they’re better off under government subsidy, and their young women are having the abortions and their young men are in jail, and their older women and their children are standing, sitting out on the cement porch without nothing to do, you know, I’m wondering: Are they happier now under this government subsidy system than they were when they were slaves, and they was able to have their family structure together, and the chickens and garden, and the people had something to do? And so, in my mind I’m wondering, are they better off being slaves, in that sense, or better off being slaves to the United States government, in the sense of the subsidies. I’m wondering. That’s what. And the statement was right. I am wondering.”
What was not true about whatever Bundy implied or said?

Waiting for the reply to your question.
None of this has any bearing on what we all witnessed last week where an out of control, militarized federal government brought their storm troopers to “protect” a freaking turtle and steal an old man’s cows.
Yes, you have the right of it.
It's an Alinsky moment, and any FReepers who get a frowny-face about Bundy are dancing to the tune of the Lefty puppeteers.
In the 2012 Presidential election:
93% of blacks voted for Obama. They were 13% of the electorate.
71% of Latinos voted for Obama. They were 10% of the electorate.
73% of Asians voted for Obama. They were 3% of the electorate.
58% of Persons from other non-white races voted for Obama, they were 2% of the electorate.
It complicates the task of winning a national election when 28% of the voters are so stacked against you,
72% of the electorate was white. That’s the lowest percentage, ever. Obama got 39% of the white vote yet he won by five million votes.
There are those out here and elsewhere who were just waiting to beat the big government drum, to wave the banner of racism in attempt to deceive, distract and discredit this event and this man.
This is inordinately clear.
It won't work.
If you are barking to the Lefty "Racism" dog whistle, you need to ask yourself:
What other things have the Lefties trained me to salivate over?
beelzepug, you’re missing my point. I’m not addressing the Constitutional violations by the BLM and Feds. I’m talking about Mr. Bundy’s comments regarding race/ethnicity.
“Get the unsophisticated old rancher to speak in plain English”
I take issue with this statement. I realize that you are using hyperbole, but there are a number of ranchers in our area who are down to earth, hard working upright citizens who happen to possess the ability to articulate their views and opinions concisely and intelligently to the general public. They also have enough sense to exercise restraint and tact.
Mr. Bundy is a cattle rancher. Why should he have to learn to deal with racist government/media complex word snipers while a vicious, malevolent thug government is trying to steal his cattle and put him out of business?
I answered your question by addressing my original point. If you’ll read my posts you’ll clearly see my answer.
Read all of posts. This should answer you question.
I’ll try to reply to any further questions/comments at a later time in the day. I must return to my other life.
I see a FReeper who is responding to the Lefty Racism dog whistle.
“Are they happier now under this government subsidy system than they were when they were slaves, and they was able to have their family structure together, and the chickens and garden, and the people had something to do?”

Pertinent question. Government has insidiously replaced one form of slavery with another. By the way, this current form of slavery does not discriminate based on race.
Absolutely. This is about paramilitary abuse, not Cliven Bundy’s legal or social scholarship.
Yep, the Bundy event is all of a sudden about racism...The media told ya so...The media told ya everything involves race and their race plight against raciest white America.
People are being played like a fiddle...
You have yet to point out what was not true about what Bundy said or is credited with saying. How is it you can have fault with someone speaking the truth, especially in the age of the constant lie and deception? You are the deceitful one if you cannot answer my original question.
And in a shocking moment, someone on NRO gets it right:

I think you’ve actually bought into this “blacks are victims” myth.
But before you go on to explain how poor little Trayvon was just walking home with candy and iced tea, may I remind you this is not the DUmp?
If anything there aren’t enough young blacks in prison. They get away with far more crimes than whites do.
How’s that grab you?
There's nothing worse than a grass roots farmer who has done nothing to offend anyone in his entire life than to put a microphone at the hands of a professional in front of him.
In his way of thinking, and mine, he was totally accurate in what he said. Unfortunately he doesn't have the required degree in public or political speak that may have allowed him to be more precise in what he was trying to say..........
Addressing the comments of Sean Hannity, he seems to forget he was all on board the support of ex-senate minority leader Trent Lott and his comments about Strom Thurmond which got him thrown out of office.........
One could say the same about everyone who supported Trent Lott..........Unfortunately for Mr. Lott, he had much more experience with public speaking........
Not red herring.
There should be no difference.
