A new, unedited version of comments by Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy has emerged, and it sheds some light on the context of his remarks, universally condemned on Thursday as horrifically racist.
The 67-year-old Bundy, battling the U.S. government after federal agents stormed his ranch to confiscate his cattle in a dispute over grazing fees, said far more than what appeared in the New York Times and most other news accounts. While his grammar is pretty bad -- and his use of "negro" and "colored" considered politically incorrect (although they were both once preferred terms chosen by blacks) -- he actually was making a larger point, not simply deriding blacks.

This whole Bundy situation is fascinating. The DC politicians, even those who pretend to be constitutional conservatives, did not have the instincts to side with Bundy and states rights and individual rights to use what were once called public grazing lands. Then after the standoff, the light comes on and they realize that a majority of people don't like federal over-reach and the sneaky profitiable for politicians deals to use rhe land for their schemes. But you know what? They're all in the DC smog, so they're probably looking for how to get on that gravy train.
So those pols appealing to conservatives sent out a message "send us some cover" so they could drop support of Bundy and the issue. In comes the NYT editing Bundy and changing a message of "today people are enslaved by the federal government" to "Bundy's a crazed racist". Immediately, the fake conservatives had an excuse to drop the cause, and they thought still keep their supporters.
It didn't work. We now know who the worst of the fakes are. People like Rand Paul, Shawn Hannity and Glenn Beck were so quick to condemn that they had to know this was coming. We can't trust them ever again. And as far as the rest of the crowd? Did ANY of the pols we support as conservatives have the instincts to support Bundy's questioning of the over-reach of the federal government?
It's all so rigged. The only silver lining is politicians and talkers who supposedly support constitutional conservative have been exposed.
Agreed!
And thank you for the Blessing!
(I need all I can get...LOL!)
We still have a couple floating around with the "Bundy's a racist 'cause he wonders if blacks would be better off a slaves pickin' cotton!"
They just don't get he was asking if they are really any better off today.
It's almost as if as soon as they hear the word "RACIST!", their brains stop working.
I've noticed it too, and come the conclusion that's exactly why it's called 'programming'. It's creates an inherent rejection of the white male.
When will they castigate Leonard Cohen for “Old Black Joe’s still pickin’ cotton”?
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you’ve been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you’ve been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows
And everybody knows that it’s now or never
Everybody knows that it’s me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when you’ve done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe’s still pickin’ cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows
And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it’s moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there’s gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows
And everybody knows that you’re in trouble
Everybody knows what you’ve been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it’s coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows
Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
As a former member of the culture, here is an important thing to mention:
The Mormon church treated blacks as “Unworthy” to hold the higher priesthood until a convenient revelation happened in 1978. Poor Clive Bundy lives in certain isolation and in some ways the halo affect of such remains in his psyche and word usage.
I know this as we live among them now and we hear language and usage that is in some ways over fifty years old.
Cohen’s a genius.
“Who by Fire?” blows my mind.
.
I don’t recall him mentioning Black schools, I thought he said other schools in UC system.
But Cohen is jewish. Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more.
I will gladly join the dumb whites club with you Utah. I would rather be there with you than with the
cheap, lying, no good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, bloodsucking, dog-kissing, brainless, di**less, hopeless, heartless, fat-assed, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sacks of monkey sh** that make up the Left in this country. Hallelujah! Holy sh**! Where’s the Tylenol?” Partial quote credit given to Clark Griswold.
Thanks for the Blue Blood tip. Will have to check it out now. Hadn’t heard of it. Haven’t watched CBS “programming” since Free Republic took down Dan (Babbabouie?) Rather over fake but accurate “W” national guard story.
Totally agree with what you posted ltos...
Excellent summary of the events here on FR for the past few days...
It’s funny how quickly many on FR “forgot” what happened to Joe the plumber after he made the 0 look like the bumbling idiot that he is...
What did folks think was going to happen? Then that RAT Reid says that Mr. Bundy was essentially going to “get his”...and a day or two later the NYT’s releases this edited piece of propaganda.
This should not have come as a surprise to anyone. Yet many were pushing each other out of the way in their race to get on the NYT’s parade float...
Happiness: Knowing my Tagline is absolutely the most accurate.
Sadness: Living with the fact that my Tagline is the most accurate.
Cohen’s a genius.
Agreed.
The accusation that someone being a “racist” is all that the Democrats and the Democrat’s Left Stream Media need today for control a large population of people who dare to think and/or speak the same ideas as the accused “racist.”
Thus, the power of the word “racist” is valid only as long as no facts are required by the targeted population to substantiate the accusation by those who do the accusing.
If, someday, the accused is considered “innocent until proven guilty” by the facts, then the power of false accusatory words such as “racists,” “domestic terrorists” and other mind-control words will be relegated to the low level used by the school yard bullies who tried to manipulate all of us back in the day.
IOW, we, OURSELVES, allow ourselves to be manipulated because we have forgotten the words of wisdom from our early childhoods: “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me! Nanny, Nanny, Boo-Boo!”
Wake up America! The Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement have long since been Won and Done!
Time to grow up America, reject the PC Word Police, mind-control, school-yard bullies of the Left!
If “We, the People,” stand for FREEDOM of speech, then insist that ALL, (especially the manipulators on The Left), listen as well as they speak!
It is time - - - time for a change.
Love it! Don't think you missed anything or anybody except the cowsh** eating turtles at the Bundy place.
Indeed.
It IS troubling.
As I wrote, I was relying on my feeble memory - - - .
I will yield to an actual text of that FOX Special Report segment.
