A "thought experiment"

Armed men, led by Bundy brothers, take over federal building in rural Oregon
How will the GOP candidates respond?

Now, imagine that the headline had read:
Armed Muslims take over federal building in rural Oregon
How would the GOP candidates respond?

I'm guessing the two responses would be completely contradictory.

I'm thinking the GOP candidates will all respond to Bundy brothers with some version of, "This is what happens when an over-reaching Federal Government oversteps its bounds."
... and possibly, "These folks are well within their rights to protest Government encroachment."

... and if the rebels had been Muslim?
Not so much.
