Comparing Bundy To Occupy Movement Seems Misguided & Inappropriate.

[KittyWampus]

Bundy isn't "protesting" anything. He's refusing to pay 20 years of grazing fees. His interest is nothing but SELF interest.

Those surrounding him have no interest other than playing with guns and pretending they're tough and thumbing their noses at the Federal Govt because….. BENGHAZI!.

While I think Occupy missed the mark, I applaud the intent to make things better for society and their willingness to feed and take care of those who showed up. They helped make the 99% meme become part of our cultural language which is an amazing legacy.

AND Occupy seemed to be entirely non-violent. The guns that showed up at Occupy seemed largely to be on the police.

Or maybe that's it… those linking Occupy and Bundy not so secretly think the Left should start toting guns around to protests?

1. The Moron Militia and Occupy Have Pretty Much Nothing

in common, really. There's no equivalency there.

2. Believe it or not (cough) there are some DU'ers who think there is.

5. I have seen people note that Occupy was pepper sprayed, beaten, dragged away to jail

while Bundy was allowed to hold his ground and continue issuing insane and racist comments. And that is the fact of the matter. But it is not a comparison but rather a contrasting of the two. Contrast is the opposite of comparison. Thanks for playing.

7. Dust

From A Popular Song, . Bundy Is " dust in the wind" I think he`s a recluse from the JOHN BIRCH society OR an escapee from Area 51-The Alien Recovery Unit.

3. There is no comparison

but I believe it's fair to contrast the reaction on the part of government - and that contrast reveals a gaping chasm in the range of reaction.

4. Completely bogus

6. The issue being compared is not the same but

The treatment of the protesters is absolutely comparable. I like the hypothetical what if the people at the Bundy Ranch were Black?

8. occupy is not a pinup, poster boy, and spokesperson for gun owners nt
