Libertarian militia nut/Bundy fan who threatens to "rip Reid's ball off" is a mooch on disability

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

The leader of a militia group supporting Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy accused Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) of wanting to incite violence, while also saying he would send Reid a human skull bearing a threatening message, Right Wing Watch reported on Wednesday.

“Don’t poke the wolverine with a sharp stick, Harry,” Three Percenters founder Mike Vanderboegh said the message would read. “Unless you want your b*lls ripped off.”

Vanderboegh referred to the skull as a “soap dish” he would send to Reid signifying the “2014 award for incitement to civil war.” The speech reportedly took place last week, following the standoff between Bundy supporters and officials with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), who subsequently cut short a plan to round up Bundy’s cattle for refusing to pay federal grazing fees for the past 20 years.

Mother Jones did a profile on this domestic terorist a while back, detailing his history of violent threats and his devotion to libertarianism - but there was this gem hidden deep in the article:

Vanderboegh, though, is not a deep-pocketed Washington insider who could single-handedly turn the Terry case into a national controversy. He survives on a monthly disability check and his wife's job at a forklift company, according to the Washington Post. And his blog has a very small, though devoted, readership. So Vanderboegh drew on his militia ties, getting a big assist from his old friend and militia buddy Larry Pratt, the head of Gun Owners of America (GOA), a gun rights lobbying group several times more extreme than the NRA.

Lousy taker living off the taxpayers!

If he's fit enough to play miltiaman, then he's fit enough to get a job flipping burgers or working at a call center.

Surely, we can expect principled, conservative Republicans to demand this guy stop defrauding the taxpayers, pull himself up by his bootstraps and get a damn job!

1. Oh Senator Reid is

"inciting violence".. right.

[tazkcmo]

2. No no no!

We don't want him at our call center! You need to have some empathy to my job and I don't want this parasite anywhere near me. And he's not qualified for pickle slapping.

3. This guy would make a GREAT poster boy for projection

He lamely accuses Harry Reid of promising civil war, but it was Vanderboegh who threatened "perhaps even initiating a civil war" to resist the ACA.

"The federal government should not have the ability to command us to buy something that it decides we should buy," Vanderboegh said. The government, he added, has "absolutely no idea the number of alienated who feel that their backs are to the wall are out here . . . who are not only willing to resist this law to the very end of their lives, but are armed and are capable of making such resistance possible and perhaps even initiating a civil war."

4. Well, one does wonder how these people support

themselves to spend their time doing this valuable public service, while the rest of us work or are looking to work.

5. I'm not even surprised to hear this.

But you are so right. If he can go around making threats and show up with firearms to "protect" Bundy and his cattle, then he can show up to a job.

6. Federally subsidized terrorist. Their hipocrisy knows now bounds.

"Let's rebel against the government that feeds us"

7. "Principled Republican" is an oxymoron.

8. He's fit enough to get a job flipping burgers or working at a call center

Do we know if it is SSD? Is there a way to complain to Social Security IF it is?

Great info.

14. Someone should ask Reid's office to look into

would be hilarious if the moocher lost his handout

9. Give him a job picking

fly shit out of pepper!

[pinboy3niner]

10. You'd probably end up firing him the first day for...

...malfecance.

[DocMac]

11. Lol!!!

12. Vanderboegh should buy himself a set of Neuticles.

It might fix his problem.

[LiberalLoner]

13. These extremists strike me more and more as simply sociopathic.

Con men and con women, hating the basic decency of society, wanting only to destroy everything and everyone. Dangerous, twisted people.

15. Did he serve in our country's military service?

I did not notice any mention of him serving in our country's military uniform.

16. Haven't heard this story on FOX. Must not be true......nt
