It’s getting hard to keep track of who doesn’t want who there...
I think the Hammonds said they didn’t want Bundy there (after initially accepting their support).
The FBI clearly doesn’t want Bundy there.
Bundy doesn’t want the FBI there.
Bundy doesn’t want the Pacific Patriot Network there.
Laz doesn’t want any Freepers there.
*confused*
Am on doesn’t want long guns there.
Three of the six leaders of the ‘Harney County Committee of Safety’ formed last week over the federal land encroachment want the group to leave, but three don’t.
One of those who wants Ammon Bundy and the others out is Tim Smith, who wears another hat as Vice-Chairman of the Republican Party in Harney County.
The GOP’s presidential candidates have asked them to leave as well.
When Martin Luther King was leading protests in Albany, GA in 1962 and draw attention to the movement by going to jail, the Kennedy Administration actually sent a Justice Department official anonymously down to ‘defuse tensions’ by deliberately bailing MLK out of jail.
It was a secret for four years until 1966 when President Johnson’s people leaked it out to discredit Bobby Kennedy, who they feared would run against LBJ in 68.
BIG PARTY POLITICAL MACHINES DON’T LIKE MOVEMENTS OF PROTEST ARISING THAT ARE BEYOND THEIR CONTROL. THE FEAR LEVEL OF THE BIG PARTIES IS EVEN GREATER IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION YEAR.
JFK didn’t like MLK’s protests and the GOP doesn’t like this protest and the GOP would like to shut it down just like the Dems tried to shut down MLK’s efforts in the early 60’s.
