CNN REPORTER: You're protecting this man and he's wondering whether African-Americans would be better off as slaves. How does that strike you?
JASON BULLOCK, BODYGUARD FOR CLIVEN BUNDY: It doesn't strike me any kind of way. This is still the same old Mr. Bundy I met from the first day of all this happening.
CNN REPORTER: But aren't those offensive comments to you
BULLOCK: Not at all.
CNN REPORTER: Not offensive?
BULLOCK: Because Mr. Bundy is not a racist. Ever since I've been here he's treated me with nothing but hospitality. He's pretty much treated me like his own family.

BULLOCK: I would take a bullet for that man, if need be. I look up to him just like I do my own grandfather.....

Yes and it also changes the subject. Now we are no longer talking about cows and govt overeach.
I guarantee that by Monday, everything the MSM wants to know about this guy will be front page news...........kids, family, ex-lovers, traffic violations, you name it, they'll find it and they'll try to destroy him with it.
White-black bodyguard up next on obamsnbc
It all depends on how much backlash Hannity's getting for throwing Bundy under the bus........
I googled "contact hannity" and got his fox email and sent him a note.......
Yes son, you are, you know what is real and what is not. Who is a bigot and who is not. A lot of people think that many blacks have been enslaved by the welfare system and will never achieve the happiness and fulfillment they should.
Dude, I was just thinking the EXACT thing just before I came on this page. They’re going to dig up anything they can find.
The man in the above YouTube video is named Jason Bullock. He is a is a six-year Army veteran who is out in Nevada and has volunteered to serve as one of Cliven Bundy's bodyguards.
As you can see, Jason Bullock is also a black American.
That's what he had to say about Cliven Bundy, early this week, after Bundy's remarks were widly reported, and when CNN interviewed Bullock and asked him if Cliven Bundy's remarks had offended him.
"No, not at all. Mr. Bundy is not a racist.
"Ever since I've been here, he's treated me with nothing but hospitality. He's pretty much treating me just like his own family.
"I would take a bullet for that man if need be. I look up to him just like I do my own grandfather. I believe in his cause and after having met Mr. Bundy, I have a really good feeling about him and I'm a pretty good judge of character."
The media distorts information to the point of social division. Above is a photo of myself and the resilient, often charismatic, and maybe not so tactful Cliven Bundy. Hes a cowboy and a helluva family man, not an orator.
One thing he definitely isnt a racist. I found his comments to not only be NOT racist, but his own view of his experiences. Who the heck are we to determine another mans perspective on the world around him?! Just because Picassos view of the world was abstract, does it negate the fact that his art was genuine?
Furthermore, if you take the time to do your own research, youll find that his statements about some black Americans actually hold weight. He posed a hypothetical question. He said, I wonder IF Hell, Im black and I often wonder about the same about the decline of the black family.
Bottom line is that we are all slaves in this waning republic, no matter our skin color. Mr. Bundy could have used any racial demographic as an example: Native Americans on reservations, whites in trailer parks, etc. He noticed the crippling effects of receiving government assistance and the long term result of accepting handouts.
Its not progress at all. I challenge Sean Hannity, Rand Paul, and others to read my comment and reconsider their position in this matter. Individual liberties are at stake here, yours and mine. THAT is the issue.
Dont let the liberal media and ignoramuses like Glenn Beck and that weasel Harry Reid make you lose sight of the real issue here: The federal government is a burgeoning behemoth and a bully on a once constitutional playground.I sincerely hope you real patriots out there who can see through the smoke.
Semper Fidelis
So what...we all do.
But that does not make him a racist, or a bigot in the least, despite what Bill OReilly, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and others may think or say. They have ratings and a lot of money riding on how they respond...Cliven Bundy and these two men do not. And yet one of those men feels so strongly about it, that he, a black US Army veteran, would take a bullet for the man. That carries a WHOLE lot more weight with me.
I’m not going to take the race bait....enough to know that this has been used by this administration and democrats every time they are loosing a battle.
Amazingly the MSM is pushing this yet again....this administration and the MSM love to push the race card any way they can twist it.
You are exactly right.
Still, it was humorous to see that CNN reporter flabbergasted by the young, black veteran’s strength of feeling for Bundy.
That he was not at all offended.
That he looked on Bundy like his own grandfather.
That Bundy treated him as one of his own.
That he was willing to die for Bundy.
Put the lie to everything they try and contend about the man.
The young mans response was not surprising considering any there would likely come close to saying the same. They are very much “united” in why they are there, yet I think they’ve become very much attached to Bundy...he is a likable character after all.
But it’s hard for me to follow this closely...breaks my heart our Gov. has overreached in so many areas today....though it’s been a slow creeping thing for sometime. But seeing these good people get hammered for over 20 yrs is just heartbreaking!
I had nothing good to say about Reid and his kind before....but with this I can’t say what I’d like to say without offending God! Even though he knows I’m thinking it!
No surprise here.
What's amazing to me is the abject ignorance of people on the Right, including radio.
I was going to post his comment here, but decided to make a separate post in Chat as I went on a bit of a rant over here, posted just now:
