Bundy’s Daughter Goes After Hannity: ‘More Worried About His Ratings’ Than My Dad

Shiree Bundy Cox, one of Cliven Bundy’s 14 children, took to her public Facebook page Thursday night to defend her father against charges of racism after he opined about “the Negro” being “better off” under slavery. Cox lashed out at media figures, including Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck, who have each distanced themselves from the Nevada rancher since his views on race came out.




Cox began by addressing her father’s racist comments:


“I’m sure most of you have heard the news about my dad being called a racist. Wow! The media loves to take things out of context don’t they? First off I’d just like to say that my dad has never been the most eloquent speaking person. Like someone said, he’s a Moses who needs an Aaron to speak for him. This is true. Second, however, is that the media has turned this into a circus side show. It’s like their trying to throw us off the real subject. Why was this ever even brought up? What does this have to do with land rights issues?”

She then moved on to question Hannity’s loyalty to her family’s cause:


“Sean Hannity was all for reporting the happenings at the Bundy Ranch until this popped up. I wonder if someone hoped it would be that way… By the way, I think Mr. Hannity is more worried about his ratings than he really is about what my dad said. If he supports a supposed racist, what will that do to his ratings? He’s already lost his #1 spot on Fox.”

but I'll add it here:

Cliven Bundy's Daughter Rips Fox News Host Sean Hannity

Cliven Bundy doesn't think Fox News host Sean Hannity "abandoned" him in the wake of his racist, pro-slavery rant, but one of the Nevada rancher's daughters thinks otherwise.

Shiree Bundy Cox on Thursday took aim at conservatives who rallied and amplified her father's cause on national television only to abandon him after the media "turned this into a circus side show."

<...>

"Sean Hannity was all for reporting the happenings at the Bundy Ranch until this popped up. I wonder if someone hoped it would be that way….By the way, I think Mr. Hannity is more worried about his ratings than he really is about what my dad said. If he supports a supposed racist, what will that do to his ratings? He's already lost his #1 spot on Fox," she added.

<...>

Bundy Cox also took issue with conservative radio host Glenn Beck, who was critical of her father before his racist comments came to light this week:

Glenn Beck was never 100% on board with my dad, but now he has an excuse to distance himself even farther. Could there be people out there who want it that way? Get the un main stream media out of the way from reporting this situation in a positive light and the battle is more than won for the opposing side....Again I'd like to ask, "What does my dad's opinion on the state of the Blacks on welfare have to do with the land rights issue?" Nothing! It's a detouring tactic. It's taking away from the real issues and what has been accomplished. The mainstream media want this to happen to make people deviate from the real important things and focus on a comment that has absolutely no relevance. It's a tactic that has been used for decades. I hope people will see this for what it really is.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/hannity-bundy-fox-news-daughter

"Land rights issue"? Your father is a deadbeat. First Bundy blames MLK for his racist comments, and now is daughter is trying to claim others are condemning him to deflect from his original debacle. No one forced this asshole to make a racist statement.

Let's be clear, this is a demented circus! These assholes came out from under their rock to make a scene, and they're being exposed for the delusional racists they are. Every statement is an attempt to pretend they're not all part of the same conservative movement that's destroying this country.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/04/13/1291642/-Cliven-Bundy-is-a-Big-Fat-Million-Dollar-Welfare-Dead-Beat

Let's face it, the reason the Militia is ginned up about this isn't because of 'Merica, or 'FREEDUM', it has to do with decades long case of affluenza. Bundy is a 1 Percenter, so he's admired for his thieving from the public coffers, while Wilma would rot in H.E. Double Hockey Sticks after being riddled with 12 gauge buckshot.

That's a funny definition of patriotism you've got there, fella
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024833813

Steve Benen:

Political figures who rallied to defend Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy must have known they were taking a risk. Indeed, much of the Republican establishment chose to do the exact opposite precisely because they were afraid to gamble on a man who doesn’t recognize the legitimacy of the United States government.

But some prominent GOP officials rolled the dice anyway. Fox News and Glenn Beck celebrated the rancher as a hero, while U.S. senators like Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Dean Heller (R-Nev.) cheered Bundy on, calling him a “patriot,” even as he declared an ability to ignore laws and court orders he doesn’t like.

It’s become increasingly difficult to maintain this posture. For one thing, anyone relying on the threat of violence to act above the law hasn’t earned the backing of anyone in the American mainstream. For another, some of the basic elements of Bundy’s claims now appear to be false.

<...>

Frankly, it was pretty obvious before that federal lawmakers like Rand Paul and Dean Heller were making a huge mistake rallying behind Bundy. When it comes to choosing a proper cause celebre, it’s best not to choose a man who’s said, “I don’t recognize [the] United States government as even existing,” and whose supporters appeared prepared for a confrontation – a potentially violent confrontation – with American law enforcement.

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/bundy-i-want-tell-you-one-more-thing

What does it say when U.S. Senators become apologists for lunatics who declare they don't recognize the U.S. government? Now Republicans are starting to realize they were dumbasses for jumping on this lunatic's bandwagon, and are seeking cover.

I have a right wing friend on Facebook who posts links from 'theBlaze' regularly.

I remember when Glenn Beck was 'released' from Fox News - there was an article pointing out how he was getting $30 million. I'll bet I know where that came from.

Trust me, he's just out there creating another site for right wingers to point to when a Fox News story needs backing. Herman Cain and Allen west too, just more web 'news sources' to VERIFY every right wing non-truth in existence.

They aren't gonna let Hannity go, they have plenty of walls in their echo chamber.

Here's my e-mail to the local radio wingnuts who have been staying totally away from TehBUNDY:

Wingnut victimhood. Yesterday HANNITY was poormouthing about how poor wingnuts ALL get smeared with “racism” just every time that ONE wingnut says any little racist thing! And he had help from one of those Minority Rethugs, a Black wingnut. And BUNDY has a Black bodyguard who says he will take a bullet for him. It don’t matter what racism BUNDY actually holds, says Darling Daughter, what matters is “property rights” and it’s THE MEDIA who have turned it all into a circus --- NOT the-BUNDY holding microphones in front of cameras and summoning armed goons making threats to use women as human shields, so plainly it’s THE MEDIA just “HOPING” “things would TURN OUT THIS WAY”! HAH!

Yeah, those media! I can testify that our LOCAL WINGNUT MEDIA are JUST as scurvy as the BigTimers, totally running away to keep the daily topics on "Lesbian polygamists" and always on ILLEGALS and ILLEGAL VOTERS!!!

So Ms Bundy-COX finds it cowardly of HANNITY to abandon “a supposed racist” while he was willing to support him while his true racism was politely veiled as is the standard wingnut m.o. Yeah, those RATINGS will make wingnuts ABANDON ALL THEIR PRINCIPLES!!!!!!!!!

No no no sweetie your dad said:

And because they were basically on government subsidy – so now what do they do? They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never, they never learned how to pick cotton.


but hey lets just post the whole transcript in full context.

…” and so what I’ve testified to ya’, I was in the WATTS riot, I seen the beginning fire and I seen the last fire. What I seen is civil disturbance. People are not happy, people is thinking they did not have their freedom; they didn’t have these things, and they didn’t have them.

We’ve progressed quite a bit from that day until now, and sure don’t want to go back; we sure don’t want the colored people to go back to that point; we sure don’t want these Mexican people to go back to that point; and we can make a difference right now by taking care of some of these bureaucracies, and do it in a peaceful way.

Let me tell.. talk to you about the Mexicans, and these are just things I know about the negroes. I want to tell you one more thing I know about the negro.

When I go, went, go to Las Vegas, North Las Vegas; and I would see these little government houses, and in front of that government house the door was usually open and the older people and the kids…. and there was always at least a half a dozen people sitting on the porch. They didn’t have nothing to do. They didn’t have nothing for their kids to do. They didn’t have nothing for their young girls to do.

And because they were basically on government subsidy – so now what do they do? They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never, they never learned how to pick cotton. And I’ve often wondered are they were better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things? Or are they better off under government subsidy?

You know they didn’t get no more freedom, uh they got less freedom – they got less family life, and their happiness -you could see it in their faces- they were not happy sitting on that concrete sidewalk. Down there they was probably growing their turnips – so that’s all government, that’s not freedom.

Now, let me talk about the Spanish people. You know I understand that they come over here against our constitution and cross our borders. But they’re here and they’re people – and I’ve worked side-by-side a lot of them.

Don’t tell me they don’t work, and don’t tell me they don’t pay taxes. And don’t tell me they don’t have better family structure than most of us white people. When you see those Mexican families, they’re together, they picnic together, they’re spending their time together, and I’ll tell you in my way of thinking they’re awful nice people.

And we need to have those people join us and be with us…. not, not come to our party.


And lets not forget the ton of slurs your dearest daddy spewed out yesterday.

22:30 Woman #2: Are you a racist?
22:36 Woman #1: Well, that's okay its a free country


And lets not forget that not only are you mooching off public land and not paying your fees, you're on land that was stolen from Pauite Indians by federal troops in 1875, 2 years after the fact they were promised rights to the land.

Source: http://www.8newsnow.com/story/25301551/bundys-ancestral-rights-come-under-scrutiny

You've got some nerve going after African-Americans when you are thieves, moochers and deadbeats.

Its quite interesting that your followers can camp out on your ranch on a weekday when the rest have to work our butts off everyday.

Hannity is absolutely more concerned with his ratings than your father. That doesn't change the fact that your father asked some very tasteless questions and holds some baseless assumptions about a systematically repressed people. It is a diversion from your Dad's point, but unfortunately for your family, your dad is quickly realizing who are the agenda setters. Agenda setter Bundy is not.

http://pss.sagepub.com/content/early/2013/11/18/0956797613500796.abstract

stated "In two studies, we demonstrated that liberals underestimate their similarity to other liberals (i.e., display truly false uniqueness), whereas moderates and conservatives overestimate their similarity to other moderates and conservatives (i.e., display truly false consensus; "

I often think about their research when I hear RepubliBundys and their ilk in the various Tea Party factions expressing their amazement that everyone on their side isn't in complete agreement. Leaving aside the info about liberals for another time, this could explain why she is so shocked. She really thinks they are ALL on the same page.

But as it turns out...

Fox more concerned about ratings than about the people it exploits? I'm shocked, shocked.

Welcome to the real world, Ms Cox, where corporations value the bottom line above the people who help them get it.

42. I get the feeling that a similar question asked
Fri Apr 25, 2014, 04:20 PM
Apr 2014

in an academic setting would be far less offensive. In my African-American lit class this semester, we talk a lot about different perspectives on the effects of slavery. While becoming a slave is never a positive experience, Booker T Washington seemed to find some redemption in the wake of emancipation that many southern whites had lost a connection with, and in turn a base of knowledge and work ethic that would b&d required in a post slavery economy. Reconstruction would be a hard slough for former slaveholding whites who had grown dependent upon the system of forced labor, and for many blacks who for the first time in generations would be without the institutional certainty, granted an often harsh certainty of transfer between harsh and harsher masters, but indeed a certainty that had many black folks returning to serve their former masters in the similar role to slavery as perhaps what one might describe as form of wage slavery that is inherent in becoming an employee. This would supply a place for blacks in a reconstruction society.

So , while I find Bundy's specific framing to be idiotic, a look at the effects of slavery on social condition is not an altogether uninteresting one.

I personally agree with Oscar Wilde that slavery, especially slavery enacted by less harsh masters such as those portrayed in the beginning of a Uncle Tom's Cabin, is the most violent form of oppression, that is to say a slave who feels some allegiance or dependence upon his master is the most violently oppressed because he is conditioned to accept and rely on his oppressor.

But she still confused "their" for "they're" so the fruit didn't fall that far from the tree.

And she directs her complaint of "what does this have to do with land rights issues" at the wrong person. After all, it was her own father that injected this issue into the dialog, not the media messenger.

And I agree, your dad just needs a good spokesman. He's getting a bad rap. Check with the Klan's PR department, and I'm sure they'll be able to hook you up with a good spokesman.

Maybe that aint not nothin' to be ashamed of where he comes from, but it's a clue that he inherited that ranch and has spent the last 20 years running it into bankruptcy.

He missed a few payments, no one pressed him, and he missed a few more. Before he knew it, he was two decades in arrears. Now he wants to deny the existance of his debt by wrapping himself in the flag. Doubtless he'll be financially ruined after he pays it off, but..."personal responsibility".

... he could afford to pay his bills without relying on Uncle Sugar for subsides.

Now this is now about "personal responsibility", and his wife should learn how to say no to his oversexed primal urges. It's time we cut him off from federal benefits and let him enjoy the great pride of self reliance.

Sound familiar?

I think Mr. Hannity is more worried about his ratings than he really is about what my dad said. If he supports a supposed racist, what will that do to his ratings?


as if anyone in the media personally gives two shits about her dad ....gawd what an idiot.

Hannity latched on to Bundy to help his ratings. When it blew up in his face, he dropped Bundy like a hot potato to save his ratings. Of course it was all about the ratings. Only a moron or a narcisist would think it was all about Bundy.

I notice he's only criticized Bundy on his radio program. I have a feeling he'll just segue back into Benghazi and the IRS "scandal" as if nothing happened.

I've seen him and O'Reilly both do this before, where they go to another format to clarify their viewpoint, but keep shoveling the BS on their Fox show.

You poor, naive thing. You really expected some kind of loyalty from that nest of vipers that is Fox?

Fox is all about making Obama and the government look bad and the GOP look good. Embracing Bundy served their interests until the fool wouldn't stop talking.
