... "Each day that goes by, it's hard for me to comprehend how ugly, vile, vulgar, and threatening people are sending letters to my home, and making other threats. So I don't know who is mad at me. But it's a long list, I guess" ...

... “Those people who hold themselves out to be patriots are not. They’re nothing more than domestic terrorists,” Reid said during an April 17 appearance at a discussion hosted by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. He later called Bundy a “hateful racist” after the rancher made inflammatory remarks about African-Americans on April 19 ...

... The longtime Democratic Senator wouldn't say directly if he thinks Bundy or Bundy supporters are behind the threats. “I've spoken to the director of the FBI. I've spoken to the Secretary of the Interior and others and others and they're going to move forward. We cannot have someone that openly violates the law, who believes that the United States is not a valid government, that it's a foreign government and all the other weird things that he has said,” he said ...

... The crowd, fresh off their victory at the Battle of Bunkerville, gives Bundy a standing ovation. But he doesn’t seem pleased. He reproaches the crowd for failing to follow the word of God – to the letter – which he says is being delivered through him. They failed, for example, to follow his instructions to tear down the toll booths at Lake Mead and disarm the Park Service.

"The message I gave to you all was a revelation that I received. And yet not one of you can seem to even quote it.”

Cliven continues, sermon-like: "The records of our bible — how long have they been kept? Thousands of years. They’ve been turned over generation after generation, buried, and all kinds of things happen to ‘em. And yet, here, something I felt was inspired [by God] and yet we haven’t even carried it forth for even a couple of days. Shame on us.” Smattering of clapping.

He goes on to explain that, although they managed to deter the BLM, they failed to do it "within one hour," as the revelation had prophesied. So when an hour passes, he decides to get in his bulldozer and march on the BLM himself. The dozer gets stuck in the mud and he receives another revelation ...

4. It Keeps Getting Weirder and Weirder

What is going on? Do they think that Bundy is some sort of messiah? He's preaching to the crowd, sharing revelations, giving instructions. They are all out of their minds.

3. Give 'em hell, Harry.. as they hide behind their cowardly

death threat letters.

5. Somebody needs to intervene with this Bundy guy before something goes terribly wrong.

If they can trace this to him, it would seem they would have cause to arrest him.

And the information in the Esquire article would indicate that a psychiatric evaluation may be in order.
