When the story broke about the feds going to Nevada, to make a rancher pay grazing fees, my staff did what it always does. We researched and found out the facts and those are these. That rancher Cliven Bundy broke the law for many years by not paying the fees, that the federal government owns the land and that the State of Nevada readily admits the feds have jurisdiction in the grazing controversy. Those are the facts.
So, we presented them to you and then mildly criticized the feds for overreacting. You may remember, Judge Napolitano and I basically said it's a waste of taxpayer money to conduct a raid and seize cattle. You simply use the legal system to eventually make Bundy pay up.
Now, most of you agreed with our analysis. A few threw in with Mr. Bundy but not very many. However some commentators including a handful on Fox News rallied to Mr. Bundy's side. But most Fox News people did not. And that's why we're successful. We have a wide variety of opinion expressed in a vibrant way.
Now, we know that Cliven Bundy is a man who does not see things clearly. He made very offensive ignorant remarks about African-Americans and was roundly condemned for doing so. But here is something interesting. Mr. Bundy is also sympathetic to Hispanics.

What a great story. Thanks.
Same here.

The husband still DVRs O’Reilly’s so that he can watch his “Memo”. I have come to despise BOR almost as much as I despise Obamugabe, so I will not stay in the room while he watches.
There was a time when I watched BOR rather regularly, but I now realize what a total jerk he is. What makes it more infuriating is that he pretends to lean toward a conservative perspective. All part of the progressives’ undermining of our culture.
Sadly, my favorite sister will not miss his show and reads all of his books.
Since “racism” is the most pressing issue for our clueless elite then I have a question. Has BOR ever uttered any anti-white statements in his life?
“Millions of other Americans were killed or wounded to end slavery during the Civil War.”
Lost me right there.
Union: ~ 365,000 total dead. 275,200 wounded.
Confederacy: ~260,000 total dead. 137,000+ wounded.
Civilians: 50,000 to 250,000. (No accurate count exists.)
Total estimate, about 1 million.
Who is this guy an why is anybody paying him attention?
**************
No one knows. Like teats on a boar, he is just there.
“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.
It’s 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.”
Superb quote from the marine, which goes right to the heart of the matter.
That was well said and just the way I took Bundy’s remarks.
Besides hasn’t Ted Baxter been saying the same thing as Bundy for months on end but being ever so PC by not using the words slavery or Negro ?
The Factor has been on a Culture Crusade over the entitlement society, and that it will lead to the downfall of America.
He’s been on a rant against the evils of drugs, abortion, street gangs, low expectations, and on and on.
What I notice O’Reilly doing a lot is always finding some scapegoat on the Right that he can tear into so that he can appear fair, honest and even handed. Sickeningly, they all do it. It is like a ritual PC cleansing for the sake of their careers.
“Now, most of you agreed with our analysis. A few threw in with Mr. Bundy but not very many”
Bill you’re insane. Almost nobody agreed with your stupid analysis.
Excellent anecdote! I first read that in a feminist book titled “Womenfolk” as I recall. A southern feminist had taken up her quill to slay the patriarch dragon and stumbled across the living standard comparison between plantation slaves and housing project and welfare inmates.
The principal evils of slavery were not economic. They were more the slave being forced into a position of dependency, forced association and the threat of confiscation of family members. Sort of what citizens face at the hand of government authorities today.

Please, you’ve ruined my morning coffee. Bill O’Gasbag doesn’t deserve a single line on FR!

You forgot to put a BARF Alert on this article.

Amen Bro
Sean Hannity and or Oriely should interview that black man. He does know what Bundy really is, and it is not a racist.
If they will not interview him, I accuse them of politically correct cowardice.
Seems like BOR is getting his talking point directly from the mac daddy administration.
His interview with mac daddy was as soft an interview as could be possible, while saying that he was being respectful.
