re: #266 Buck

He explained it multiple times.

I have quoted that explanation many times in this thread. Here it is again:

With regards to the comment he made about the President being a racist:

“It shouldn’t have been said; it was poorly said; I have a big fat mouth sometimes, and I say things, … and that’s not the way people should behave, and it was not accurate,”

Why are you quoting something he said in April to defend what he said this week on the Today show?

Now you’ve given three defenses: (1) what he said in response to being asked directly about the racist comment proves the he wasn’t saying it was a joke (it doesn’t), (2) what he said later on proves that he wasn’t saying it was a joke (it doesn’t), (3) what he said months ago proves that he didn’t say this week that it was a joke (it doesn’t).

My whole point is that his “explanation,” such as it were, is inconsistent - and for that reason, is completeness lacking in credibility and/or accountability.
