Bundy is a rancher, not a role-model or a diplomat. He is a hard-working man who calls it as he sees it, a rare commodity these days. I'm quite sure his supporters understand what he is saying; I certainly do. Public consumption be damned. Most of the public is already back to watching "The View" by now.
And he has every right to state his opinion as any two-bit Hollywood actor.
You’ve missed the point. Mr. Bundy will not be reaching the “thick-witted folk”, as you put it. Racists will be racists.
Whether you like it or not, Mr. Bundy made it everyone’s business when he took this to the public, so to speak. With that action, he assumes a certain level of responsibility to conduct himself in a way that is befitting of his position.
Do me a favor. Go visit a rancher in our area and ask him what his views are about Mr. Bundy’s statements concerning this. Let me know what he says.
You’re mistaken if you think people aren’t interested in this case.
