(Reuters) - Two Republican U.S. senators who voiced support for a Nevada cattleman in his showdown with federal agents over grazing rights on public land condemned the rebellious rancher's remarks about whether African-Americans would be "better off as slaves."

As a matter of historical accuracy, after the Civil War, some blacks returned to their former masters voluntarily. That being said, Bundy wasn’t bashing blacks. He was talking plain about problems that are well known and have been well publicized. He’s not exactly talk show smooth, but I bet he doesn’t count Tamara Holder or Bob Beckel as his dear friends either.
Right. Because you’re doing such a great job lol.
I’m right. Sorry, but I am. You don’t like it, then ignore it.
I do understand that this is probably a very emotional issue for you.
“Randy said it with finesse. Bundy said it crudely. That is why there was no reaction to Randy saying it.”
Senator Rand didn’t mention race.
No, not at all. Like you I don’t value freedom from tyranny at all. Stay on the porch.
So, Eric Holder was right ... about you.
“No, not at all. Like you I don’t value freedom from tyranny at all. Stay on the porch.”
I’ll stay on the porch. You stay in your bubble and keep complaining loudly when you get trounced.
This was just a dumb move.
What "government checks"?
If whites are 38.8% and blacks are 39.8% of the welfare check collectors, what are you talking about?
I’m not going to be trounced by an uninformed coward. lol
Well they are not much better off as dependents of largess & big government.
As he should. Randy is a very smart guy since he says nothing which MSM can attack. There is no place for bringing race into the Nevada situation. Bundy lost a whole bunch of support with his racist comments. Randy was correct in supporting Bundy's cause in the beginning and not disassociating from Bundy's racists comments.
Randy?
What is a “Randy”? Did you mean Rand Paul?
Second, what does anything Bundy says at this point have to do with the Reid family actions, those of the BLM, or the apparent connection between the two?
What's rotten in Nevada is still rotten there, regardless of Bundy's remarks.
Quit dashing off at squirrels folks, and stay on target.
Only a liberal would consider what he said to be racist.
“Well they are not much better off as dependents of largess & big government.”
I’m sorry. Obviously you “Feel” very strongly about this.
I don’t want to hurt your “Feelings”
It’s all about how you “Feel”.
So lay off replying since I’m bruising your “Feelings”.
Maybe you could go plant a flower and “Feel” better.
His opinion does not matter as he does not set government policy nor does he promote racist thought.
You do a lot of projecting there, snarkyboob.
Hey snarkybob give it a rest, you think there are no section 8 housing sections in Nevada, WE HAVE ALL watched what this government has
done to the black neighborhoods, NO JOBS, HORRIBLE SCHOOLS,
NO BUSINESSES, NO FAMILY UNITS and government giving these folks a check every month has fixed this????? Bundy is 80 years old these
folks say what’s on their mind!!! My mom is 82 sometimes she makes
my hair curl with her remarks!!!! All I have to say to you is I hope when you reach 80 years old someone better put duck tape on your mouth
so you NEVER SAY anything that might offend someone!!! Folks at this
age have lived a long hard working life and frankly they don’t give a DAMN how offended YOU MIGHT BE!!!!
Mr. Bundy is not a politician...so a private citizen providing his opinion on a subject is “dumb”?
You go right ahead and stay on the porch...Mr. Bundy now represents not only the little guy against an out of control government, but also an average American who is NOT afraid to speak his mind.
There needs to be more people talking like Mr. Bundy if we’re to undermine and usurp the leftist’s control of the narrative...
I think it might be age differences.
Could it be, that the Archie Bunker generation is a lot less politically correct and more attuned to what is racist and what is just pure garbage.
If you looked at that poster's tag line, he is criticizing the same things that Bundy did, regarding government social programs and the failures.
Yet he criticizes Bundy and does not comprehend the absurdity.
It's quite baffling to me..
Ironically, if he’d have thought the whole yak session over a bit he could have knocked one out of the park taking it down the path of “how do we free our melanin blessed brothers from the clutches of government servitude” and “who’s subgroup will be the next one the politicians will hook on the smack of handouts in exchange for their votes”.
Before the demonrats got hold of black Americans they were not very far behind in many metrics to caucasian and other groups, and WERE closing that gap.
