Democratic Senate majority leader Harry Reid on Thursday strongly condemned Cliven Bundy, a constituent and rancher in Nevada, for his widely-reported offensive comments about African-Americans.
“Today, Bundy revealed himself to be a hateful racist,” Reid said in a statement provided by his office.
The New York Times reported on a recent rant by Bundy, who mused about what he referred to as “the Negro.” He has been in the news recently over his clash with the Bureau of Land Management over grazing fees.
Discussing a public-housing project in Nevada, Bundy said of black people: “They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.”
A number of politicians, including Reid, criticized Bundy for his comments.
“To advance his extreme, hateful views, Bundy has endangered the lives of innocent women and children,” the Nevada senator said.

Isaiah 10
New International Version (NIV)
10 Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees,
2 to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.
3 What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster comes from afar?
To whom will you run for help? Where will you leave your riches?
4 Nothing will remain but to cringe among the captives or fall among the slain.
Verse 2 is what Bundy was trying to say.
When did it become illegal for a private citizen to have a personal opinion? You may not agree with what he says, but under the constitution, he has every right to say what he did.
.... We need to be wary of the skillfully crafted new changing narrative .... diverting us away from the abuse of power and making this about the target's personality. The Feds knew everything about Bundy's background and history before they even started this whole thing. They are controlling this situation so they can achieve their objective.
.... Stay focused and on target ... Please don't fall for basic grade school debate tactics.
