Cliven Bundy threatens violence against federal agents as Sean Hannity eggs him on

Hannity bragged that some of those millions got their information from his program.

“In my mind, there’s no doubt that so many people showed up to support you, and I would even argue a little bit that the media coverage that myself and some other people have given to this case played a part in this because none of it made sense,” Hannity said.

Then he asked Bundy’s son, point blank, if he worried federal agents would kill his father or another family member.

“This battle has been going on for my whole life, almost, and if death were our main fear, we wouldn’t be here today,” Ammon Bundy said, as the TV screen showed the Gadsden “Don’t Tread On Me” flag. “Freedom is much greater than death. People have to understand that.”

made me think of Schenck v. United States ("expressions which in the circumstances were intended to result in a crime, and posed a "clear and present danger" of succeeding, could be punished&quot

Hannity is a dangerous idiot

PLEASE someone tell me Baby Jesus has committed a crime! He encouraged criminals to fire on authorities! Guess that will just be glossed over.

What they don't want to understand is that "freedom" is a complex social construct.

If you are alone, you are free to do whatever you want.

If you enter a society, this totally changes:
- You provide society with something. (e.g. manpower, intellect)
- Society provides you with something. (e.g. security, access to resources)
That's the social contract.

Unconditional freedom becomes conditional freedom. You are only allowed to do what you want as long as it doesn't conflict with other people's desires to do what they want.

You are not free to violate the rules of a society, because that's a breach of contract.
(e.g. using public resources without reimbursing the public)

You are not free to violate other people's freedom, because that's a breach of contract.
(e.g. taking away other people's freedom because of your religious freedom)

"Death ain't nuthin' hyuck hyuck. Cuz Freedumb."

Hannity and Cloven-Hoof Bundy need to be arrested for conspiracy to commit treason.

It is not his damned land. Just because you live next door to public grazing lands doesn't mean you get to use them however you like.
