Bundy thinks Martin Luther King Jr is still alive...



Cliven Bundy's Blame Game: MLK 'Hasn’t Got His Job Done'

Cliven Bundy keeps digging himself deeper and deeper into a hole, but refuses to throw down the shovel and get out. After making racist and bigoted remarks about "Negroes," on Wednesday, he went on CNN to try and clear things up. He started well enough, but wound up steering his remarks into blaming Martin Luther King for not doing a good enough job fighting for equality and against racism.


BUNDY: I took this boot off so I wouldn’t put my foot in my mouth with the boot on. Let me see if I can say something. Maybe I sinned and maybe I need to ask forgiveness and maybe I don’t know what I actually said. But you know, when you talk about prejudice, we’re talking about not being able to exercise what we think and our feelings. We don’t have freedom to say what we want. If I call — if I say negro or black boy or slave, I’m not — if those people cannot take those kind of words and not be offended, then Martin Luther King hasn’t got his job done then yet. They should be able to — I should be able to say those things and they shouldn’t offend anybody. I didn’t mean to offend them.

Once again, the typical it's the fault of those I offended for being offended. Also known as can't take a joke or lighten up or I'm sorry if you're offended.
