" they also have nothing to do with ISIS being terrorists as well." ISIS and Bundy clan operate independently. "Hence the reason guys like you are reluctant to call ISIS "terrorists" " ISIS is a terrorist organization. The Twitter hashtag #bundyeroticfanfic, which imagines the occupiers as Brokeback Mountain cowboys, had grown quiet after a rash of early tweets (along the lines of “ ‘I want you to take me like Obama takes our freedoms,’ Jed whispered. The sound of a Carhartt zipper was his only reply”). In the past two days it has picked up again, and mostly degenerated into homophobic graffiti. But at the start, the sexualized Bundy mocking had a political insight at its core. The Bundys, no doubt aware of how other occupations (notably Occupy) have gathered inchoate political discontent around symbolic dissent, were bidding to be heroes. Their mockers understood, however, that, as far as most of the country was concerned, the battle of images was the only one that these gun-toting occupiers would be fighting. The Bundys claimed a certain kind of blunt, decisive American masculinity, but their strategy depended on spectacular attention-seeking, and they dressed like last year’s lumbersexuals. It was clear where to hit them. newyorker.com
