These are pro demonstrators. The local Tribe stayed away as they don't want to jeopardize there talks with Norton about the return of the reservation.The media played the race card as the only farmer shown in the national satellite news feed was taped saying " Are you indans going to eat suckers srest of your life, you would starve if it wasn't for farmers".Farmer was used to play race card on national news.And the Indians he was hollering at aren't even the sucker eaters.Ed Hubel.

Correct. I should have been clearer.

See my post above to Carry_Okie. Do you think that this type of political alliance is possible? The bottom line is that ag and the tribes both live and work on the land; the enviros are nothing more then exploitative fear mongers who are practicing divide and conquor politics to advance their agenda and keep the donations rolling in. Without the ability to use the emotional (racial) arguement, the enviros would lose public support for their anti-human agenda.
