How is he a "rightie"?
He wants free government stuff (grazing on federal land).
Leftie all the way.
So much for his claim of "ancestral rights...
Local TV Station Sheds Doubt On Bundy's Claims About His Family Ranch
Cliven Bundy has trumpeted his "ancestral rights" in his land-use dispute with the federal government, but a report on Monday from a Nevada television station placed doubt on the defiant rancher's claims.
KLAS in Las Vegas obtained property records showing that Bundy's parents purchased the family's ranch in 1948. The Bunkerville, Nev. ranch has been the site of a tense standoff with the federal government over Bundy's use of land managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
Those records appear to contradict Bundy's own history of the ranch, as well as his biography.
"I've lived my lifetime here. My forefathers have been up and down the Virgin Valley here ever since 1877. All these rights that I claim, have been created through pre-emptive rights and beneficial use of the forage and the water and the access and range improvements," Bundy told KLAS before the government's round up began.
The standoff has made Bundy a hero among conservatives like Sean Hannity.
Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore (R), who is showing solidarity with Bundy and the armed militias supporting him, said Friday that the federal government shouldn't "come here with guns and expect the American people not to fire back."
Bundy said that his rights predate the formation of the Bureau of Land Management, and he has refused to pay more than $1 million in cattle grazing fees.
"My rights are before the BLM even existed, but my rights are created by beneficial use. Beneficial use means we created the forage and the water from the time the very first pioneers come here," Bundy said.
But court records obtained by KLAS indicated the family's cattle didn't begin grazing the land until 1954. The Bureau of Land Management was created in 1946 (the same year Cliven Bundy was born.)

So the court records only go back to 1954, and the date of his birth isn't the issue, since he's claiming ancestral rights. I see another Zappygetard fail approaching...

Let's recap:
BLM---created in 1946
Bundy family buys farm---1948
Cattle begin grazing the land---1954
Bundy's claim his rights predate the BLM---Just another lie

I love it when a lefty endorses and supports government goons bullying citizens for corrupt politicians. How noble.
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
Lol, did you realize that a government agency was bombed in the past in connection with this man? That the Bundy's threatened violence. Arresting the teaparty fools would have created a violent situation and caused people like you to blame the BLM. The government defused the situation for the good of the public.
