Cliven Bundy would 'appreciate' everybody forgetting his racism

Bundy continues to have very strange theories as to how the world works:

Bundy says on Alex Jones radio show that he'd "appreciate" NYT retracting quotes: "I'm not racist."

Well sure, I bet he would. We can't have the militia movement and the vast majority of conservative talking heads thinking poorly of him.

But "retract" a statement he made on tape, because it makes him look bad? How's that supposed to work?
