AUDIO: Bundy Doubles Down, Calls On New York Times To Retract Accurate Quotes

[Archae]

Source: Media Matters

Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy appeared on Alex Jones' radio show today to do damage control over comments he made about "the Negro" and how he wonders whether blacks were "better off as slaves" than on government assistance.

During the appearance, Bundy denied that he is racist, called on The New York Times to retract their accurate quotes of him discussing "cotton picking," and repeatedly restated his offensive views on slavery. Bundy also defended himself by explaining "there's a black man right in my front yard right now" as part of the militia siding with him against the government.

You blew it, Bundy, you totally blew it.

[Kingofalldems]

1. By this evening Fox news will deny this guy ever existed.

[Mike Daniels]

9. I think "The Five" will be the first indication of what FOX is going to do with this

If those clowns cover this "oops-a-daisy" by Bundy in anything but total condemnation then you know FOX is still thinking they can turn this story into an attack against Bundy's critics.

Megyn Kelly's show will be the real tell though since she's their "face" now and leads into Hannity. If the bubble-headed beach blonde rallies to Bundy's side then FOX has obviously opted to ride this story to the bottom.

[AlinPA]

12. It seems to me that they and the GOP would celebrate him after his racist remarks.

[Kingofalldems]

17. Oh in private of course they will.

They also mock the fundies and such behind closed doors.

[AlinPA]

19. The GOP loves Fundy and they need his racism for their base.

[Mr.Bill]

21. That would be good, but

I think they will rally behind his "freedom of speech" rights.

[LynneSin]

22. By this evening Faux News will claim he's a good friend with Dems

Remember these classics....

[Kingofalldems]

24. Good call. Expect it.

A pic of Bundy with a (D) by his name.

[LynneSin]

45. Or they'll find a photo of Bundy standing next to some random African-American male...

and claim that's Bundy with Barack Obama.

That's the shitty level of reporting I expect these days from Faux News. And the crazy thing is this - they know it's shitty but expect their regular viewers to be too stupid to know better.

[uhnope]

35. what IS Hannity going to do? Oh doesn't matter since his audience

has miniscule memory span

[Archae]

48. Hannity has condemned Bundy...

But says "Liberals do it too!"

[Marrah_G]

47. I was thinking the same

[kairos12]

2. Fundie Bundy

[yellowcanine]

3. "there's a black man right in my front yard right now"

You can't make up this shit. What's he doing there Cliven, pickin' cotton?

[smiley]

8. more than likely...

it's one of those little lawn ornament statues.

[2naSalit]

14. Apparently that

one has sumpin to do as long as it benefits this assbite.

[951-Riverside]

29. That guy was on the Jim "Fatman" Jones Show earlier today

And talk about a really awkward "interview". The poor guy was obviously crushed to find out his anti-government land mooching hero is a racist.

Ya blew it Cliven "I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro" Bundy. TIME TO PAY UP!!!

[Kelvin Mace]

39. Correction

Jones was crushed to find out his anti-government land mooching hero is a racist who will say so in front of a hot mike.

[QuestForSense]

33. "And he's got no cotton-pickin' business being there either."

[StarryNite]

38. He probably has him

picking his melons, since Bundy is a melon farmer as well as a welfare rancher.

[Mnpaul]

49. There are a lot of people in his front yard

exhibiting poor work ethic

[Hoppy]

4. --- and to think he could'a been president.

[olddad56]

5. This guy is no Al Bundy.

[Prophet 451]

6. Accurate reporting is liberal bias

Answers that conervatives find embarrassing were because of "gotcha questions".

[cosmicone]

7. And I got flamed on DU when I suggested

that we should have put down the fundie/racist rebellion with attack helicopters and tanks.

Support for THIS guy? Here?

[Hissyspit]

15. How is not supporting violent overreaction the same as support for the guy?

[951-Riverside]

18. Re: And I got flamed on DU when I suggested

I don't support that and I'm glad the people in charge didnt either. If things gone that way, we would have never given him the opportunity to hang himself.

We're better off with them leaving with their tails tucked than having thousands of right wing terrorists viewing Tedven Bundy as a martyr.

[Kelvin Mace]

40. Really?

You want another Waco? That would just fans the flames and make them martyrs.

[Democracyinkind]

10. Check out the "chicken" part. This guy is a racist even while in the act of denying it. nt

[951-Riverside]

11. Ummm... you're on video saying it

He's got some nerve to deny saying it then asking the NYT to retract the racist quotes HE was captured on video saying in PUBLIC.

[brooklynite]

13. I stopped reading after "Alex Jones"

[951-Riverside]

20. Two Birds. One Stone. n/t

[Hissyspit]

16. You're 15 minutes are over, dickwad.

[neffernin]

23. In this case Glenn Beck took the most correct position of them all

Doesn't that say something about how @#$#'ed up the political right has become?

[2naSalit]

28. As Jon Steart

pointed out on Monday's show, this has made Beck become the voice of reason...

So how screwed up is that?

[neffernin]

31. It honestly all is very heartbreaking

Yeah, was referencing TDS. A show that will last as long as Jon Stewart is willing to host it as Fox News offers dozens of low hanging fruit per minute.

[2naSalit]

25. Unfortunately for him

it's already gone viral to the point that nobody is going to soon forget this.

[notadmblnd]

26. "There's a black man in my front yard right now"

FYI Bundy: Having a lawn jockey in ones yard does not prove one is not a bigot .

[2naSalit]

30. Ooooh...

I didn't dare say that, but I thought it!!

[Kablooie]

27. How dare they report the new accurately! A REAL news service makes it up to support an ideology!

[QuestForSense]

32. It's not what I said, it's what I said.

[uhnope]

34. He exploded his own 15 minutes of fame by shooting off his darn fool RW mouth

[Major Nikon]

36. Just give the man a microphone and grab the popcorn

[Blue Owl]

37. Cliven lives to be in the Macaca Moment

n/t

[frylock]

41. "there's a black man right in my front yard right now"

i'll just bet that there is.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

42. I'm sure they'll get on that retraction right away.

[Warren DeMontague]

43. Ah, who better to get to the bottom of it, than Alex Jones, huh?

Perhaps they can investigate the false flag operation whereby Rancher Bundy was impersonated by an Illuminati Lizard from the Sirius Star system, as part of the New World Order gun-grabbing conspiracy?

[shenmue]

44. Does he not understand what audio and video are?

Idiot.

[CTyankee]

46. well...Mark Twain wants to have a word with you...

"Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel."
