1. Another national campaign ad opportunity that will be missed by the DNC. nt

[phantom power]

16. +1,000,000

[geretogo]

2. This pig is America's enemy #1 and all like him .

[tclambert]

18. But while he talks about all the things he hates about America, he's waving an American flag . . .

so he must be patriotic.

[krispos42]

3. This entire incident has been derp-tastic n/t

[FailureToCommunicate]

4. The Bundy bunch are wrong in so many ways, it's hard to narrow it down...

[Peacetrain]

7. I saw this photo, paired with occupy wall street protestors..

and it was just heartbreaking.. peaceful protestors.. (whether you agree with them or not, they were just sitting) being gassed directly in the face.. and this goofball with that military style armament threatening violence against officials of the United States goverment goes free

There is something drastically wrong in our culture..

[Liberalynn]

14. Exactly

[Matariki]

30. Well maybe there's a lesson there

[CTyankee]

40. I think there may be some on DU who like that photo and admire the guy in it...

I don't think they'll be out in force any time again soon, tho...

[Feral Child]

51. Poser.

He's got his rifle wedged into a crack between 2 concrete barricades.

Not much room for traversing fire there. His militia training seems to have failed him.

[brush]

53. Bingo! nt

[progressoid]

5. Uh, well, freedumb of speach and the Constitushun and stuff!!11!~

[alp227]

6. Hey Cliven you tough guy, say it to a black guy's face.

C'mon man. what are you afraid of? either stop hiding behind right wing media or shut the fuck up.

[ProfessorGAC]

58. Oh, He Might

Presuming of course, that the black man was 98 and recently deceased.

[The Blue Flower]

8. Don't forget Rep. Matt Shea of WA

http://www.seattleweekly.com/news/952207-129/seattleland-washington-state-rep-matt-shea

He who tweeted, "The first patriots from Washington State are on the ground in Nevada," when he arrived at Cliven's Clown Show.

[liberal N proud]

9. People in the government supporting an anti government racist mooching rancher.

Isn't that special!

[Plucketeer]

10. Whaddya think???

What would happen if we cut Texas from the union and let the likes of Cliven and those who support him have a go at making it an independent state? Let 'em develop their own guvamint, their own "security", military (just imagine all those gun-happy sorts signing up to serve!), etc., etc.. LOL! I think it wouldn't take more than a month for Texas to erode into civil war. We'd see the real truth as to "honor among thieves". President Perry wouldn't even have to remember a bunch of departments to dismantle - he could appoint Palin as VP and she could write important things on her palms. Everyone could make up their family history so's they could lay claim to the lands they didn't wanna pay rent for. Of course, you'd have to be white to be a citizen (and not be deported), so there'd be lots of jobs to choose from. Damned if that don't sound like a paradise to me!

[Liberalynn]

19. I had a similar thought!

I think one red state should volunteer to have their state completely run by Puke local and state policies for a year. We will also exempt them from paying any federal taxes during this time. The people who don't want to participate in the experiment can apply for temporary relocation grants.

The catch would be there will be no assistance from the Federal Government for that state for a year. No FEMA assistance, no military, no federal welfare assistance, no Social Security, no grants of any kind, and no federal contracts for any business headquartered in that state, no Constitutional protections, no food inspections etc. At the end of the year we can check in and see how they all are doing. My guess would be they will be begging for the Feds to come back.

Maybe the only way to teach an idiot the stove is hot is to stick their hand on the burner.

[Plucketeer]

31. I love the way you think! nt

[SunSeeker]

34. That experiment has already been tried: Somalia. nt

[tclambert]

22. I want to keep Austin.

The city's motto is "Keep Austin Weird." Gotta love that.

[olegramps]

54. Especially when we refuse to come to their aid when Mexico takes it back.

[PumpkinAle]

11. A woman I know

said she supports Bundy because he stands up to the government and shouldn't have to pay taxes, blah, blah. Ironically her husband while talking ill of the government relies on the government for supporting his businesses. And yet they don't see that irony.

[catbyte]

12. They never do

[Quasimodem]

13. So, okay, Bundy, old boy ....

We will just keep you in a slave labor camp offering forced work on a diet of bug-ridden slops for a decade or two and see if your opinion undergoes any modification.

15. Billboards...nationwide!

17. The Bundy Bunch

Wish I could write a song about it to the tune of the Brady Bunch.

[Trekologer]

44. Sung to the tune of "The Brady Bunch"

Here's the story, of Sean Hannity,
who liked to rile up the hatred on the right.
His many viewers follow the things he tells them,
no matter how absurd.

Here's the story, of a guy named Bundy,
who didn't like to pay for the things he took.
He spent many years, stealing from his country,
getting rich off of all of us.

Till the one day when Sean met this thieving fellow,
and attracted many nutters to come to Bundy's ranch.
Later on, their pal Bundy was revealed a liar and racist,
but that's what you get for joining the Bundy Bunch!

The Bundy Bunch,
That's what you get for joining the Bundy Bunch!

[sunnystarr]

47. Kudos! Very creative and got me singing :) (nt)

[SummerSnow]

61. PERFECTO!!!

[tclambert]

20. He was simply expressing his deep concern for minorities

by suggesting a solution to the problem of "the Negro" by teaching them to pick cotton and re-instituting slavery.

[SummerSnow]

23. Im sure many of his supporters agree with his 'Negro Solution'

But they claim they aren't racist.Only just trying to help poor old black folks who were better off as slaves.

[underpants]

24. And teach them to stop putting their children in jail

[southmost]

29. I have actually heard this from co-workers here in Texas

that must be some of that 'compassionate conservatism'

[SummerSnow]

21. I would love love love for Chris Matthews to ask

Michael Steele about Bundys comments.lol

CM: "do you support Club in Bundy and his views?"
MS: "Bundys views are not embraced by the Republican establishment Chris."
CM: " So how come no Republican came out and denounced this kind of talk?"
MS: " See you said it yourself Chris, it's just 'talk' blah blah blah

[chknltl]

25. Why Alex Jones could and should be included here:

Where Ron and his son Rand Paul goes so goes Alex Jones. According to wiki Alex Jones has over 15 million listeners.
I feel Alex Jones is just as dangerous to our society as Fox News is in that he is very good at convincing his listeners that his 'conspiracy theory' views on America constitute current reality. Alex Jones promoted and interviewed Mr. Cliven Bundy on his show http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/04/21/cliven-bundy-tells-alex-jones-sean-hannity-is-my-hero/
There are likely many others who deserve inclusion here but imo Alex Jones is one of the more deserving ones.

[951-Riverside]

33. Tedven Bundy was on Jonestown show this morning

Bundy was on the Jonestown show this morning claiming that he never said any of it ...even though we can clearly see and hear him on video. HAHAHA

I would post the video here but I don't want to give Jonestown any more attention.

[brett_jv]

26. What I think the BLM needs to do is just show up unarmed and do their jobs.

By this, I mean the agents themselves should be unarmed. However, there should be helicopter gunships parked a mile or so away. Make sure the yahoos there see the heli's are there via a flyover and then watch them retreat, just out of sight. This will put the idea in their heads that should they start shooting, they may get riddled with bullets from above.

Then the agents should do their jobs and remove the cattle. Make sure there's lots of camera's, lots of video, make sure it's clear the agents are unarmed. Have LOTS of government workers present, with ID badges, to mingle amongst the armed folks so they can ID anyone who starts shooting.

Then, if any shooting breaks out, there's NO QUESTION who the aggressors were, and they can be ID'd.

27. That single graph tells me everything I need to know about Libertarians.

[Matariki]

28. Their dog whistles just got audibly shrill

I'm sure that in many ways ot serves those assholes just fine.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

32. wow. Holy shit.

that quote. HOLEEE shit.


scumbags. All of them.

[TRoN33]

35. Breaking News...

Clive Bundy are begging people to forget his radical comments. He has already written the history and he can't even try to erase it.

[Kali]

36. local and national cattle orgs don't want anything to do with him either

most play by the rules. he taints all western ranchers with his games.

[polynomial]

37. The Republican Party are now Occultist

Many attributes point in that direction. From my view a hold-over from the Waco Wacko’s, a home grown version with the in bread diet from cheap feed for his cows no longer available. However he knows and does not care because of his occultist manner. What’s worse those politicians play the game with the media as key players in the charade of news.

That feed for cattle transported was pirated food destine for ethanol. It was grown from anhydrous ammonia the cheap chemical fertilizer used to grow corn an intrinsic by product loaded with a basic carcinogen. Also, a product of high fructose corn syrup a serious cause for diabetes widely used in far too many products.

Bundy seems unnatural because he is the perfect expression of a poisoned mind similarly as those back in centuries that unknowingly conceived lead poisoning. Today America is swamped with those characters again playing with lead don’t even realize the obvious visceral hatred they express.

This Bundy guy is likely at the precipice, the Bo Jangle in country decadence with the media players, doing a tap dance on the white southern electorate.

[ProfessorGAC]

59. While I Agree With Your Sentiment. . .

. . .i think you have the technical aspects wrong. Ammonia is one off the most abundant natural molecular gasses in the universe. It is not "cheap chemical fertilizer" unless of course one concedes that everything is some sort of chemical. Venus has tens of billions of tons of it in its atmosphere. One of the reasons Venus is so hostile. (Because just like CO2 and CO, NH3 is an strong absorber of infrared and stores the heat.)

I also don't think you have the concept of "by-product" correct. And, ammonia is a dangerous material, but it would be dangerous whether synthesized or natural, so the use of it and carcinogenicity aren't really related. It could kill you NOW, making it IDLH. The carcinogenic aspect of it is relatively unimportant when you consider it could kill you in a minute.

Lastly, since it's a gas, there is "ammonia" left in the plants or the harvested crops. It becomes more complicated nitrogen containing molecules, like amino acids, and nitro capped hydroyxl compounds.

I agree overall, but ammonia has almost nothing to do with the rest of your post.

[jtuck004]

38. The dogs I lie with every night would like to point out that they have no association with

these ass clowns.

Thank you.

[santamargarita]

39. Republicans love criminals, especially war criminals:

Twice during the Nuremberg Trials both Joseph McCarthy and Old Man Bush intervened to get two Nazi War Criminals off. Both cases were re-tried, one with a death sentence, and I'm not sure about the other.
Republicans are truly racists and interlopers: always where they're not wanted and the racial hatred is obvious.

[Cha]

41. And, they're all running like Kochroaches! When you've lost

Hannity..!

thanks EarlG

[Initech]

42. This is the test in the constitution that should be required to hold public office:

Question 1: Do you support Cliven Bundy and his intent to kill government officials?

A. Yes
B. No

If you answer "a" you are unfit to hold public office.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

43. We already knew the GOP can't vet worth shit. Look at Palin.

[lonestarnot]

45. Eeeew. Fuck.

[lib87]

46. Racist Garbage

Republicans knew exactly who they were championing. They were just hoping Bundy knew the universal racist rule which is to not plainly state your racist views.

[calimary]

48. I thought of a GOOD one for the GOP: "You climbed into bed with him...

…and now he gets to fuck you!"

[Initech]

49. End scene!

[Enthusiast]

50. Real nice there, Cliven.

Racist much?

Who in the fuck is named Cliven, anyway?

[KrazyinKS]

52. We had a good laugh this morning...

He made the national news, mainstream, this morning. He repeated his words, gawd that's funny. I would love to see the look on Hannity's face. Lord that's hilarious.

[4Q2u2]

55. Penchant for Free Stuff

He seems like he loves getting things for free why not labor as well.
That is a pretty enlightened view for 1814, he is just misunderstood he was born 200 yrs to late.

I am sorry I cannot hear what you are saying all the back-up alarms from the PUBers are drowning everything out.

[noiretextatique]

56. why are the racists always "experts?"

On black people?

[malthaussen]

57. No self-respecting flea would go near these trash. n/t

[PatrynXX]

60. Rand ho hum but Ron Paul should know better

since he used to be like Bundy... bit disappointed by that but oh well

We don't have anymore open range anymore though. and ahem his kind wants to tax for Solar energy
