Yahoo comments on Bundy Ranch are depressing.

I've got to stop reading the comments on Yahoo and other popular sites. They're running about 95% against Bundy. It's sad.

At first you will be shunned. Then you will be scorned. At the end, you will be revered.

Continue your efforts to lead by example and eventually people will follow.
 
One of the most common comments is that Bundy is a "freeloader" just as much as any welfare recipient.

Willful ignorance. Nothing more, nothing less. Those people do not bother to question the opinion they are being handed. It also shows how powerful propoganda is.
 
These are going to be the same people in 5 years pleading for us to save them.

Exact same as the reception in person talking to people about the issue. I said that elsewhere here and people belittle just for stating it is the case. there is almost no one on Bundy's side in any circles.
 
I saw a couple of big-name sites post it on their facebook (and these sites are pro-farm/pro-rancher!)... the comments got me so aggravated I had to walk away from my computer for a few hours.
 
The vast majority of people are falling for mainstream media propaganda AGAIN?

I guess I'm just not surprised anymore. The only people who "get it" seem to be those who watch the news with a bias, knowing that if they are saying it and actively promoting it, they are probably lying.
 
The propaganda war. It is the most important. Bundy's lose that and they are lost.

Agreed. I hope everyone is getting out there with the facts. If people know them, they will change their opinion. They only know the government's spin right now.
 
The rednecks I live amongst are on Bundy's side overwhelmingly. Sometimes I wish for something that could shut down the trucking of food to market just so I could watch a bunch of idiots learn a very important lesson. It's a mean thought, I know.

I guess the issue is more, there are few people that believe outside of here, that it is not Federal land and able to be managed by the BLM.

Bundy could have taken this differently years ago and had a moral high ground, but by stopping the payment of BLM fees he lost it in manys eyes. He already had submitted to their management, until it didn't fit him when they reduced him to a 150 head limit.

At that point if he had kept paying for the amount of head of cattle he had on the land to the BLM, and they either refused the money, or took it, he'd have many more on his side. And he would have a balance due to him and his family with the feds as well, instead of being $300k in the hole in legit grazing fees, and 700ish k in fines. He could have then gone to court to prevent them from putting him out of business with a federal standing to beat their reduction tactics.

Please tell me where you read this. From what I heard him say, he paid the county for years for grazing, then after the federal government took over the land, when he tried to pay the county, they would no longer accept it. Also from what he said, if he had offered the money to the federal government (BLM), then he would have put himself under their purvue just from that act alone.

Nobody wants to admit that they use the same dirty whore for cheap thrills at the expense of others. When the whore claims that someone stiffed her and didn't pay, human nature kicks in and everyone who by lack of restraint who continue to get into bed with the whore, will demand a scape goat.

The true ugly nature of man screams pretty loud when it's in the form of a mob.
