Bundy didn’t say that neither.

Of course he didn't.

As so often - when I read the words of Booker T. Washington - I am left shaking my head in wonder and saying to myself “what a remarkable mind.”

And yet, he’s never talked about during “Black History Month”.

WIthout a doubt.

Can you imagine the firestorm had Fox News done the same?

His name is CLIVEN Bundy. That’s Clive for short.

Innis must be suffering from white guilt. Only explanation for believing Bundy’s comments were wrong.

Or so I’ve been told, by the experts on race relations on FR.

Republican Niger Innis, an African-American congressional candidate and civil rights advocate, said Thursday the easy thing to do would be to condemn Bunkerville rancher Cliven Bundy for saying blacks on government assistance might be “better off as slaves.”

Instead, Innis said he picked up the phone and talked for an hour with Bundy about his comments...


This is the reaction of a grown-ass man.

Innis helps run a school that teaches U.S. citizenship and English to immigrants, he said. Bundy invited class members to come to his ranch for a barbecue “to get to know him and his family.”

This is how these things should be worked out.

About how “offended” the Congressional candidate was “for his people” ala “look at me people! See I’m standing for you! Vote for me in November!”

Yeah we’d see how offended you were if you weren’t running for office you parasite...

You don't know that Niger Innis is a conservative Republican?

No . . . you obviously don't.

Pundits on Fox last night were falling over one another in their zeal to denounce Bundy.

Don't watch O'Rielly. But Megan and Hannity were examples of intelligent fools. Bundy did not racial slur black but explained a truth. Some of this truth all three of the above have been spouting. Bundy pointed why the blacks have a problem and truth is the communists Democrats have put them in Federal slavery again. How stupid can one be not to see how a real American spilled the truth. And the word Negro means a black person to millions of Americans both black and white.

I didn’t accuse him of being racist. I pointed out the standard grandstanding for the people to get votes / feigned rage tactic used by politicians near election time. I get tired of seeing them used over and over again.

< Judging by your comment, I guess you’ve never met or talked to Niger Innis. I have and I’m proud to be able to call him “friend”. Niger is a wonderful CONSERVATIVE. Your judgement, without actually knowing who you are judging, diminishes you as a “fellow conservative” in my eyes.

As a patriotic conservative I’m not too worried about your opinion of me. You didn’t read the article did you?

> Thanks for the screen grab. As I recall, Niger just brushed this off as a mistake, and didn’t play the ‘victim’ card. It really raised his esteem, in my opinion. FREEgards !

Well the article and his statements make it appear that he was miffed because Mr. Bundy didn’t apologize to HIM. I’ve listened to Bundy’s statements over and over. He didn’t say anything racist in nature. He just used archaic terminology to describe black people. Hell white people get called “cracker” all the time but I don’t go demanding aplogies from them.

After reading the article, I think maybe Bundy got some good advice.

Well I will take a deeper look into who he is. I’ll retract the “parasitic” description but the truth is it applies to 99 % of the politicians.
