If Rancher and American Terroist Cliven Bundy Were A Member of Occupy Wall Street.....

......and committed a stunt like he did the other day. The Feds would have shown up in RIOT GEAR, They would have likely TASED his ass and TEARED and PEPPER GASED him in to submission if not DEATH.

Funny how it is ok to protest about land you dont own and get away with it, but protest about ILL WILLED BANKERS, ECONOMIC INEQUALITY and CORPORATIONS and its almost a death sentence.

1. The difference between the parties

The Republicans fear their base while the Democrats loathe theirs.

[arely staircase]

12. alert on it then nt

[Fumesucker]

13. I love you too

[nikto]

28. There is some basis in fact for that...

...If what we observe of both parties' actions mean anything.

Some Democrats are excepted, ofcourse.
But so many lean towards the siren-$ong of corporate money.

I remember Rahm Emmanuel calling Liberals "fuckheads" or something.
And that is just the tip of the iceberg.

The people who disagree with your statement need to forget a lot of things that have happened to feel that way.

I am so tired of reminding them!

[Fumesucker]

32. Technically no one actually disagreed

The comments were about me rather than the content of what I wrote.

I think Rahm's comment was along the line of fornicating cognitively challenged or something.

2. Liberals break a window & it's lawless mayhem;

Conservatives point rifles at law enforcement and the cops apologize.

[frylock]

10. true that

[Teamster Jeff]

3. K&R

Is the truth

[AverageJoe90]

4. You might be right about that, sadly. nt

[Habibi]

7. Occupiers aren't armed.

[sakabatou]

8. Yup, or more.

[frylock]

9. these patriot heroes got all wadded up over a BLM agent pointing a paintball gun at them

[2pooped2pop]

14. exactly n/t

[malaise]

18. Nailed it

19. Why the hell wasn't this guy on the scene?

[christx30]

22. Because he most likely

would have seen people that are willing to defend themselves and either run the other way, or he would have been shot.
Either way wouldn't bother me.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. ... or a Shoshone cattle rancher on the same land who didn't even commit the stunt ...

23. The Feds are only scared of the Left. Shows you their real worldview, irregardless of the phony PR

that is coming out of Washington DC right now.

I've seen the enemy. And he is us.

24. Matt Bors Illustrates:

[zeemike]

25. Well they don't think the public should own land

And they want it all...the goal is to privatize everything...and return us to the days of kings where the kings owned all the land and his subjects lived on it at his pleasure.

[JEFF9K]

27. Thanks to right-wing fraudcasters ...

... and their moronic audience.

[99Forever]

30. No, being a freakin' millionaire freeloading sack of shit...

.. that calls in a bunch of dumbassed gunfreaks that take aim on Federal Authorities doing their sworn duty is domestic terrorism.

Understand now?


Enjoy your stay.

[scarletwoman]

31. Bullshit. Bundy's rights were not infringed on, he was abusing OUR land.

Federal land is OUR land, our collective heritage, our Commons - it's the land that's been set aside to belong to ALL of us.

His cattle ranch is the "corporation" in this scenario. He wants to usurp OUR land for his private use without paying for it.

You have it totally backwards.

[DiverDave]

33. Where were the undercover feds egging them on to

commit worse violence?
It seems that every peaceful protest has people screaming to pick up rocks, make bombs ( that they provide the ingredients for)
and basically incite violence so they can arrest peaceful, lawful protesters.

Where were they?

[davidn3600]

34. A rancher fighting over a little land is no threat to the 1% the way OWS was

[Generic Brad]

35. Cliven Bundy is wealthy. Occupiers were not

Our government bends over backwards to appease those with perceived wealth. Those without money get rubber bullets, tear gas and plastic handcuffs.

[grahamhgreen]

36. Typo - terrorist

[Progressive dog]

37. The Bundy people were heavily armed.

The occupiers were not. In the case of Bundy. the government was trying to avoid a situation where people would be killed. The terrorists had lots of women and children to use as shields.
