(44,120 posts)Armed rightwing extremists, anti-govt, religious nuts, some guilty of stolen valor, want all federal land turned over and sold to the highest bidder.
It creeps me out to see that malignant Bundy crowd as some how analogous to Bernie supporters.
I personally have a very bad reaction to it. JMHO opinion of course, so carry on.

(23,867 posts)I really don't like the idea of getting people to think that this campaign is about a man who intends to come in and smash things up. Although, how much worse could anything be than what we have been through?
Bernie is a thoughtful and caring person, and that totally doesn't jibe with the militant goons.

(19,326 posts)I live in Oregon, and this Bundy thing is no joking matter, it's a domestic terrorist land-grab at the
point of a gun.
I just pointed this OP a few minutes ago:

(9,214 posts)could afford to be the highest bidder on any of it.
If a private individual or company buys the land they're either kicked off or their grazing fees skyrocket. Even if they could buy it their mortgage payment would be higher than the grazing fees too.
Did Bernie actually say this or did someone just add that to a picture of Bernie?

(79 posts)As someone that has lived nearto Hell's Canyon in extreme eastern Oregon I find this meme not worthy and distasteful.
As someone that has tracked and followed for over 30 years the Sagebrush Rebellion and later the Wise Use Movement and today's renewed efforts funded through ALEC I find this meme not worthy and distasteful.
As someone that has followed and participated in land use planning with the land managent agencies I find this meme not worthy and distasteful.
As someone that has not only peacefully confronted USFS polices and with multiple arrests without guns I especially find this meme ill fitting and frankly repulsive.
It makes me wonder if the op is shallow on the surface of both Sanders and the Bundy posse.
