I think 'hate' is a little strong.
A better title might have been "Why It's Okay to be Annoyed with Cliven Bundy."
Of course a column with that title might not get as many clicks, right?

I don't think any thinking blames Bundy for stepping into it.

How many times was I quoted correctly? Not once. Not a single time. Reporters typically mangle quotes, misunderstand what you’re saying, shift contexts, or deliberately rearrange statements to make them work the way they want. (And there’s nothing you can do about this. Once you speak to a reporter, what you have said is the newspaper’s property. That’s right. Your words no longer belong to you -- according to their interpretation. Your statement is theirs, to do with as they see fit, with no input from you, the schmuck who merely spoke the words. Of course, there’s no legal backing for this whatsoever. But there’s no legal backing for airline baggage handlers destroying expensive musical instruments. Yet they still get away with it.)

"Once you speak to a reporter, what you have said is the newspaper’s property . . . Your words no longer belong to you."

Like the land Bundy's cattle was on.. it did not belong to him. He should undersstand that (article continues below)

You have the right to use other people’s property — namely, federal government's? Think again!

Stupid article. Let’s stop being naive. Bundy could have been the second coming of Socrates and spoke eloquently and with sophistication, and still the neo-Nazi oinkers at the NYT would have judged him racist.

Fight fire with fire and call these leftist pigs Nazis. The smear makes them foam at the mouth and makes them physically act like Nazi punks. They will literally start throwing stuff, cry, scream and pound the table. Labeling them Nazis is the liberal’s Achillis heel.

He shot his mouth off without first considering the consequences. But then, which of us has not?

The Race Card is the most powerful weapon in the tyranny arsenal. Even those on our side who should know better fall for it and plead to be known as “tolerant”.

I’m annoyed at the left wing state run media and the communist totalitarian govt. Mr. Bundy on the other hand is a true patriotic American.
