RW media hypocrisy. GHWBush would have Ruby Ridged the Nevada rancher on day one.
I suppose the RW media now attacking Obama's handling of the Bundy protest prefers the way GHWBush performed at Ruby Ridge. Poppy Bush would have ordered shoot to kill on Bundy and his supporters for getting in the way of his energy cronies. Interesting that the RW media now use this peaceful ending to try and smear this WH who would not risk lives if it could be avoided.
Will the RW media and the Tea Party be returning to their original position of DEMANDING this WH lease public lands to energy firms for fracking? That was the position they held for 5 years before last week.
Will RW media and Tea Party now be supporting landowners in NC where Koch Industries will benefit from the rules set up recently by the Koch Brother owned GOP governor that FORCES fracking on landowners against their will? I doubt it - they are so dumbed down they don't even realize their hypocrisy.

Officials OK rule to force fracking on NC landowners
RALEIGH North Carolina landowners would be forced to sell the natural gas under their homes and farms – whether they want to or not – under a fracking recommendation approved Wednesday that’s expected to be enacted by the state legislature this fall.
The proposal by a state study group endorses a rarely used 1945 law that’s never been tried here on the kind of scale that would be required for shale gas exploration, or fracking. Thousands of property owners could potentially be affected in the state’s gas-rich midsection in Lee, Moore and Chatham counties.
The recommendation, dealing with one of the most emotional fracking issues, bypasses the N.C. Mining and Energy Commission, which holds regular public hearings on protecting the public and safeguarding the environment, and goes directly to the legislature.
“We are talking about a for-profit industry taking away personal freedoms with the blessing of the government,” Therese Vick, a community activist with the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League, told the Compulsory Pooling Study Group. “Personal freedoms are seldom on the radar when the gas companies come to town.”
The panel does include four members of the Mining and Energy Commission, some of whom were deeply conflicted.
