wweek.comYea, that's not a political "side" thing.
People are always saying the criminal is a "Good person, never wanted to hurt anyone". But, it happened. They did an action that has consequences. They were put through they system and need to suffer those consequences.
BTW: I don't think are good people.

Good people don't illegally poach deer, threaten the witnesses with their lives, and abuse their children.

Exactly. They are real pieces of shit, IMO.

I disagree with Knute on this issue.
On balance, however, I still prefer him to Comcast Kate, but I really think he is wrong here...

He’s even being disingenuous about the charges. They were never even charged with terrorism.

IIRC, they were referred to as domestic terrorists in some heated editorials. I can only assume that is what Knute is referring to since the charges are on record.

The Hammonds?! I never read that about them. I only heard about domestic terrorists in context of the wildlife refuge takeover posse, which didn’t include the Hammonds.

Yes- at least that's what I seem to remember. Before the Bundy's and their bullshit (actual domestic terrorists).
edit: apparently, the Hammond's were prosecuted under a 1996 law intended to go after domestic terrorists. See 3rd paragraph... wonder if something like this in an article somewhere is what I am remembering....

So you are unhappy with Gov. Brown's weakness regarding Comcast and your answer is to vote for a guy who will be even more in the pockets of large corporations? That is some real consistent thinking there!

There is a great deal of evidence/ history regarding Comcast Kate's love of corporate donations. However, I am not really aware of the same issue being present in Knute. If you have some links to substantiate your claim, I'll be happy to review them and correct my views on Buehler.

You must be willfully blind then. The day he announced he was running for governor Phil Knight of Nike cut him a check for 500k. In any event, the GOP has always been and will continue to be the party that is the most pro-corporate of the two major parties. I think there are a reasons to have concerns about Kate, but being beholden to corporate donors when compared with Republicans is a laughable one.

Yes, I am aware that Phil knight did this. I am also aware that the GOP is traditionally more pro-business than the DNC. But I am not voting for a party, I am voting for an individual.
You stated that Knute Buehler would be "even more in the pockets of large corporations". Are you just going to make sweeping generalizations, or do you have anything more than Phil Knight's donation?
Not once have I said that Buehler is a saint. I do think, however, that he will be a better governor than Brown. If you have anything better than your anger for the GOP, I'll gladly consider it. If you are going to call me blind, yet remain an entrenched party sycophant, I really don't think I need to engage with you further.
TL;DR- Do you have any links or information aside from your biases? If not, please preach to someone else.

Since when were they charged with terrorism?
WTF - Knute’s an idiot.

Why is he being soft on crime???

Another reason not to vote for Knute!
