Those that read this blog probably know that I was basically sympathetic to the bundy ranch protesters. For those, like myself, that don't have eidetic memories, here is the post

True, all this. Funny how the pipeline protestors have sympathy from the left, whereas the Bundy protestors do not. There's a news story going around about a woman who had her arm blown off by a concussion grenade. Those types of grenades aren't supposed to hurt people. I looked into the stories. A lot of them said her arm was likely blown off by an exploding propane tank, which the protestors were using, not a concussion grenade. The titles are misleading.
One of the other things I am having difficulty with on this issue is finding basically honest reporting. The MSM is carrying the pro protester angle to the point of repeating outright falsities. Even snopes is *deep* in the tank, "debunking" articles critical of the protesters because they "can't find original sources", when the original sources are matters of public record in the court decisions.
The *only* sources carrying factual information are the far right blogs, like bearingarms.com. It's downright Goebbellian.
It's also Randian, a classic matchup between producers and moochers (probably cynically bankrolled by looters), the latter attempting to stymie the efforts of the former.
Yes. I have also heard but have not confirmed that the tribe but was willing to let the pipeline go through if the oil company paid them a large bribe. so yes exactly precisely a conflict between moochies and producers.
