[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 276780, member: 337"] I don't like how loosely you guys throw around the term "farmer/rancher basher" when someone critiques an aspect of ag practice or ag programs that doesn't seem right to them. That old "you're a farmer/rancher basher" accusation was GST's go-to. If a person criticized any act or aspect of ag - no matter if it was a genuine and deserved grievance or not - he labeled you a farmer basher. No - maybe you were a basher of a bad ag practice or a select farmer... but the critique was never meant to lump all farmers together. But NO.... to GST you were now a farmer basher... two years later... yep, still a farmer basher. Very similar to being labeled a racist if you criticize a person of a different color - even when that colored person was deserving of criticism. When Rob Port does exactly what GST hated (made a general "Hunters, shame on you" statement) we're all supposed to sit down, shut up, and be ashamed and ask "can I have another lashing please" I don't think so. Nice try at manipulative shaming though.

WHY THE HELL NOT? Anybody criticizing ag producers gets that treatment. [/QUOTE]
