I agree wholeheartedly. I couldn’t listen to the whole video (too much to do) but listened to half of it.
Definitely out of context. But now it’s out there.
The fact here is that he did say it. So many (everywhere) are emotionally reacting to this (rightly, imho) and falling for the trap the NYT laid by not posting the video along with their ‘quote’.
This is the ‘news’ the MSM was hoping for. They baited him and they got it. Now they’ll report it ad nauseam.
The Bundy family should have known better than to grant an interview with anyone with NYT credentials (if they presented them honestly...big IF).
“...They baited him and they got it. ...”
and
“..The Bundy family should have known better than to grant an interview with anyone with NYT credentials...?”
How so? Think of it this way, and maybe it makes more sense:
They’re simple Americans, trying to live their lives, and probably NOT very savvy dealing with liberal swine. They’ve been assaulted and are probably just wanting someone to hear THEIR side of the story, probably assuming that others have good intentions as well.
Naive? Yes. But to me, they’re just decent American folk under assault, and no matter WHAT they say or do at this point, the fact is they stood up to Leviathan, and Leviathan is looking for payback, and has dispatched his groupies to help him find that payback.
I’m hoping people are informing him and the family of how his words are being twisted and he will make a public statement to defend himself against the slander.
