....."criminals and degenerates" implying that slaves were more law-abiding and productive. This is Bundy's black bodyguard, a volunteer for him.

(28,979 posts)The Economix blog at the New York Times reported the following in February of last year:
Another finding of the study is that the distribution of benefits no longer aligns with the demography of poverty. African-Americans, who make up 22 percent of the poor, receive 14 percent of government benefits, close to their 12 percent population share.
White non-Hispanics, who make up 42 percent of the poor, receive 69 percent of government benefits -- again, much closer to their 64 percent population share.
Read that again. It says blacks comprise 22 percent of the poor, but blacks only take in 14 percent of government benefits. Conversely, whites make up 42 percent of the poor , but take in a disproportionate 69 percent of government benefits.

(7,234 posts)Why on earth would this land moocher suddenly decide to viciously target a race people over something he's doing 3,000 times over?
And what is the point of having this guy out there trying to run cover for him?
Who are they trying to convince? Themselves?
Is there a point to any of this or are they just winging it as they go along?

(28,266 posts)He'll be turning up in as many photos and videos as they can possibly set up, in a pathetic effort to prove that the crazy old man isn't a degenerate racist. Just like the handful of minorities who attend Repub conventions always get front-row seats and easy access to the stage. Perception isn't reality.

It is not cheap to have TV stations, traveling singing groups and go global with expanded 'chapters'.

Dunno.
I think it's more likely that this bodyguard is getting paid by someone else.
There is probably more than one mole or stooge in Bundy's encampment.

(38,187 posts)Somebody's paying that guy, imo. Gotta be.
Notice how they are only railing against this policy when Obama tries to enforce it? The right wing's hero, Reagan, signed the thing to begin with, yet all of a sudden, they are against it now.

I see that CNN called Bundy his "employer" but on camera the bodyguard says he is a volunteer.

(1,741 posts)So he's a teabagger who went there specifically to join these crackpots in the last couple weeks. He's not a random employee of Bundy's who had been there any length of time.
Instead of, "Bundy's bodyguard thinks Bundy is swell," the real headline is, "Somewhere in the entire US was a black teabagger deluded enough to come to Nevada and join these lunatics."
He said he had met Bundy several times, and is willing to take a bullet for him.

Here's how the transcript looks without them. Haven't seen a CNN transcript yet, which should be complete.
