If you will go back to an earlier post in this thread, I documented in a fun little story, my own acquaintance with some Bundys, where I stated my reservations for the clan intellect. However, if the NY Times is the first to break this news, it merely shows, to my knowledge, the obvious standard strategy of the NY Times. The NY Times is the same journalistic institution that lauded Stalin as a great reformer in the early nineteenth century, and covered up the famine in the Ukraine that killed millions, while advertising the great land reforms in Russia of that era.
The Bundys might be backwoods hicks with little or no sophistication or even attunement to our culture, and it shouldn't be difficult for anyone to smear them if necessary to quell an awakening reaction to the excesses of government gone amok. But I'd wait until I could hear the actual recording of the talk. For certain, nobody can do much talking in todays' pitched media fight for conflicting visions of the future without providing ammo for the opposition.
