Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling says he's sorry but feels he was "baited" to make racist comments, nearly two weeks after the NBA fined him and banned him for life for his remarks in a recorded conversation.

"When I listen to that tape, I don't even know how I can say words like that. ... I don't know why the girl had me say those things," he told CNN's Anderson Cooper in an exclusive interview set to air on Monday.

"You're saying you were set up?" Cooper asked.

"Well yes, I was baited," Sterling said. "I mean, that's not the way I talk. I don't talk about people for one thing, ever. I talk about ideas and other things. I don't talk about people."

RE:” What possession was he forced to sell? His picture of her sitting next to him?
.......
Well, you are technically correct, IIRC so far he has only been forced to part with $2,000,000 “

He probably gave more than that fine to the bimbo in gifts, even though he is married. Sounds like he has plenty of $$$ to throw away.

Then he tells her to stop embarrassing him by hanging around with other blacks, all while knowing that she is recording him.

It evokes no sympathy in me.

Well, he doesn’t get much sympathy from me either, but since they came for the Jews and I said nothing.................

BTW, that isn't really what he said, but then you know that.

I said something, I said that he brought this on himself.

What you want a PAC to defend billionaires who are too stupid and immoral for their own good?

What he said is something that both you and I have said, in various ways, many times on this forum.

You may be the one who isn't smart enough.

Came for the Jews???

Don't tell me you defended Anthony Weiner.

I have no sympathy for him either

You are free to personally relate to this immoral piece of crap if you want, but no way will I.

I have nothing in common with him.

[Balding_Eagle]

You say the same things he did, you do have that in common.

RE :”You say the same things he did, you do have that in common.”

You said that YOU DO, you have no idea what I say.

Feel free to broadcast that you are as good as him as much as you like, but I want to part of it. He is sleazy.

He said stuff on that tape that I have never said here(or anywhere) , if you claim you talk like him that's fine with me,.

[khelus]

Donald is just doing penance during his ‘mea culpa’ rounds.

[AZLiberty]

Why does no one talk about that he is married and carrying on openly with a mistress?

There was a time when adultery was a moral issue. But I can't see the NBA dumping an owner for indiscretions in this area.

[Balding_Eagle]

He also said stuff on the tape you and I and many others have said on this forum.

But, go ahead and lie about it, those lies are your problem, not mine.

Looks likes you are the liar as you just repeated your assertion a few times without bothering to check.

Your ridiculous logic is like saying a child molester should get off the hook just because he said he loves kids. Like

"First they came for the child molesters and I said nothing even though he said something that I have said here many times before..."

[Balding_Eagle]

You either don’t know what he said, or you are lying about what you say, in which case you and Sterling share something I try not too.
