    The video you saw of the lady getting tazered was edited. She approached the officer and kicked the dog. She deserved to be wrestled to the ground. That is the problem with YouTube videos. Folks can edit them.

    They slander him because most of the time they don't like what he says and other times they don't understand what he says. Not that I always agree with Beck, but he's right much more than he is wrong. Many don't want to hear the truth.

    You mean like MSNBC does constantly?

    Must have been a different video. I thought it was a guy that took a couple tazer hits and he looked pretty wild-eyed so I have no doubt he deserved it. There was a lady that went down, but it looked like she fell down when one of the Bundyites bumped her trying to get away from the dogs. She tried to claim it was a federal agent but she admitted she didn't know who knocked her down. I didn't see anyone that got "wrestled to the ground."

    No, the right is more likely to support property rights while the left is more likely to side with the government, as those positions are both consistent with their ideologies. Harry is the opposition leader and has a history of lying and corruption so it not unexpected those on the right would not trust him. If he wants to assist the Chinese in acquiring some desert property I personally don't have a problem with it. The Feds own too much of Nevada as it currently stands and if the land can be put to productive use then more power to them.

    They have him on tape and it was shown on the evening news. Care to continue to live in your world of denial?

    People have property rights to their property not property that belongs to others. Then Nevada needs to take it up with the federal government, it not up to some deadbeat to make claims that have been proven to be false.

    The many quotes from many Republican Leaders and Right-Wing Talking Heads are all over the web and the news, pssst none of them are foolish enough to support a deadbeat that refuses to follow court orders or pay his bills and now shoots off his mouth for the whole world to see. You guys have lost it on this issue, simple as that, enjoy. AhHa!

    What property rights
    bundy lost in court He has no right to the property

    does the right believe Some People should not obey the law

    Then why are they talking about the government Agents Being armed
    Why They not talking about property rights
    Instead of blaming it on the senate majority leader

    Even though this started over 20 years ago

    No he doesn't.


    I have not heard any conservatives suggest he should not follow the law, although I have disagreed with an anarchist who believes there should be no law to follow. Bundy has no legal claim to the land



    Conservatives don't care for a heavy-handed big government pushing people around. In this case I'm not sure what the alternatives are as Bundy continues to defy the legal authorities. Harry has inserted himself into this conflict. People are looking for his political motives, which is a reasonable thing to do.

    When you break the law It is time For the authorities to push you around
    Are you saying they should not handcuff a bank robber
    Will put people in jail When they break the law

    The right should not be supporting a person breaking the law
    Remember Brought in busloads of armed men to deed by the government Yet many on the right support him
    The government Showed a lot of restrain Even though bundyShowed very low regard For human life Yet many on the right support him

    Please answer this question
    If a mother of four kids working making minimum wage Living in a Government owned house Refused to pay $20.00 a month to rent
    And when the government confronted her
    She enlisted the help of a group of men armed with guns to resist any action of the government
    Even though she lost in court and lost two appeals

    Do you think the government agents should be armed
    And would you think it was heavy-handed big government pushing people around.
    And do you think for 1 minute that right wing commentators would support her

    I think you need to take this up with the anarchist. I have stated repeatedly I believe that Bundy is in the wrong. However not paying your bills generally ends up with a lien against your property, not handcuffs. People have the right to assemble and protest, which you seem to have a problem with. I have also said that I believe the government has a right to confiscate any cattle unlawfully on the property. It's like you're not reading what I'm saying and arguing with some fictional character you've made up.

    Not converts, but unlike the far right, many Libs can acknowledge when a right-winger gets it right.

    Can you give one clear example of a prominent GOP or conservative that has changed their position on the situation?

    Go!

    I did not say "situation"....I said their support of Cliven Bundy.

    Now here's where you (like Sean and the rest) CLAIM that they "never supported the man, just his Cause!"

    Made a bet on the other thread, $1000 for each postivive or nice comment Ted Cruz says about Cliven Bundy from now on.....not "the situation"....but Cliven.

    Think I'll need to open a PayPal account???? :)

    This just in..........

    WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) — Republican politicians blasted the Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy on Thursday for making flagrantly racist remarks instead of employing the subtler racial code words the G.O.P. has been using for decades.

    “We Republicans have worked long and hard to develop insidious racial code words like ‘entitlement society’ and ‘personal responsibility,’ ” said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky). “There is no excuse for offensive racist comments like the ones Cliven Bundy made when there are so many subtler ways of making the exact same point.”

    Fox News also blasted the rancher, saying in a statement, “Cliven Bundy’s outrageous racist remarks undermine decades of progress in our effort to come up with cleverer ways of saying the same thing.”

    I'm not concerned with what the politicians say.

    The fact is Bundy did not make any racist comments.

    No Bundy didn't make racist comments, just worded his opinion wrongly.

    I hope you realize that Andy Borowitz does political satire.
