"It's All Just a Weird Coincidence"

"Bundy's either a hideous aberration, or another misunderstood soul. But he can't be representative of a subculture, because that would entail acknowledging that safety-net opposition and voting-rights opposition and other conservative policies draw political sustenance from sources other than heady libertarianism."

As does Michael Tomasky at The Daily Beast.


And Adam Serwer at MSNBC connects the dots.
