My take on it is that Hannity and Napolitano are both COWARDS when it comes to race.
They fear being tagged with the moniker of “racist” so much that they are willing to go along with any kind of PC lynching of anyone even remotely un-PC on the issue.
Hannity, Napolitano, Rand Paul... all a bunch of cowards.
What Bundy said cannot in any way be logically construed as evincing any hatred towards any specific group of people and, in fact, showed a Christian concern for the plight of
Black people.
What Napolitano said here evinces a hatred on a visceral level towards Bundy and anyone who would deign to support him.
By taking his last sentence out of context one could easily make the claim that Napolitano is a Jew hating and Mormon hating bigot. But read in context, he only hates one Jew and one Mormon.
Napolitano should have done his homework before libeling Bundy.
It’s true that I’m going easier on Hannity than on Napolitano. I’m doing so for the same reason I expect church members to hold their pastor more accountable for false teaching than a Sunday School teacher. Both hold themselves out to be teachers of God’s Word, but I admit that the Sunday School teacher is (in most instances) lacking any kind of formal, in-depth training.
Napolitano is not only a lawyer, but he’s also a former superior court Judge.
I do expect him to have the training to carefully dissect the actual words used in a law or in testimony.
Hannity is certainly accountable, but he’s a media talking head. Napolitano, on the other hand, should be able to look at the CONTEXT of the statements attributed to both men and determine that Bundy was talking about the failures of big government with blacks and Hispanics merely illustrations of that failure.
Sterling’s statements concerned his distaste for his mistress being seen in public with blacks. I think the context was his rage at a public cuckolding.
