What must be going through the mind of that celebrated "patriot" Cliven Bundy?
Bundy, and the "outside agitators" or "out-of-town" people who supported him were celebrated as patriots standing up for rights against an oppressive government.
Now, fast forward to the current situation in Ferguson, Mo. These individuals, for some reason, are not be hailed as patriots for their protests in the wake of the shooting of Michael Brown.
They're being called thugs, out-of-town agitators, race hustlers, race baiters, hooligans, criminals, outside agitators and ... well ... you get the picture.
Interesting how are perspective changes as we look through the prism of our biases.
Check out Salon.com for a perspective.
Take a look at the photo and think of the response in Ferguson when police heard that some people might be armed among protesters.
