MSNBC's Krystal Ball: "Gun-Toting, Anti-Patriots" Are Trying To Make Cliven Bundy A Hero

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

KRYSTAL BALL: Next Monday is Patriots' Day in Boston and thousands of modern patriots will take to the streets to run, to celebrate and to come together out of tragedy, proving true the words of our pledge, one nation, under God, indivisible. That word though, patriot, has become a really loaded one. To see what I mean, consider Cliven Bundy, the rancher who has refused to pay the people of the U.S. what he owes for use of our land because he views the U.S. federal government as a foreign interloper.

Mr. Bundy denies the legitimacy of our republic. And though he's been found guilty twice by courts in Nevada, he seems to want to pick and choose the laws that he feels like obeying. But to many on the right he's a hero, a patriot. In fact, the word patriot has become almost synonymous with right-wing anti-government views. On the fringe, quote/unquote patriot groups are grounded in extreme anti-government doctrine, conspiracy theories and fear of impending government violence. They have names like 22nd Field Force Alabama Militia, American Patriot Party and the John Birch Society.

Many of the protesters drawn to Cliven Bundy's ranch with firearms ready to do whatever it takes to keep Cliven Bundy from complying with federal law were militia members, part of that patriot movement. In more mainstream political thought, the word patriot has become so closely associated with the political right that it was on the now infamous IRS BOLO list, the implication being where you find the word patriot you will likely find a politically active conservative group....

So predictable it is, and so gut-wrenchingly sad it will be, when this generation of useful idiots will no longer be of any use; and it will understand that it’s Ignorance shall have been........ suicide.

She also grossly misinterprets Cliven Bundy’s reasons and rationale for his stance.

When the producers of the upcoming soft-porn movie 50 Shades of Red heard how well she'd auditioned for the football team in college, they selected her as the lead...

I wonder if this deep thinker, with the strip joint stage name, realizes that Patriot Day is named after a bunch of hick farmers with dirty fingernails and cow manure on their boots who denied the legitimacy of King George's government.

Looks like Krystal (not her stripper name) was auditioning so enthusiastically for the college football team that she whacked her noggin on the headboard, and her brains leaked out.

He wasn't "found guilty". He lost a court case.

She was a salutatorian in high skool? And she went to TWO "kollidges"???!!?

Tells you what the "educational standards" are in the Lefty De-Education Centers.

We know that all the guys on her college football team voted for her, but that's only 40 votes...

They have names like 22nd Field Force Alabama Militia, American Patriot Party and the John Birch Society.

Not to mention, the Betty Crocker Kitchen Militia,
the Stay at Home Mothers defense force, Mancave Patriots,
the four wheeler A team, and the 1st Divison Potato Artillery...
