Ed Schultz is all over this Bundy Ranch domestic terror example

On his live show on MSNBC.

He showed clips of Fox News contradicting itself on the charge of using women as human shields against Federal Agents.

He also highlighted Sen. Harry Reid calling the armed protesters domestic terrorists.

He's going to town on Fox News for stoking these people.

Terrific work.

There can't be an easy way to spin that aspect into something positive

3. Two different interviews: one acknowleding and one denying

Some "journalist" Fox had in studio claimed he was there "at the front of the front lines" and they did not have women there. He called Harry Reid a liar.

This directly contradicted the former Sheriff Fox had interviewed who said it was a deliberate strategy to have women and kids out front to potentially take fire from Federal Agents.

4. The former sheriff is Richard Mack

He is a leader and public advocate for the Constitutional Sheriffs/Peacekeepers and the Oath Keepers and once ran as a Libertarian candidate for a U.S. Senate seat.

Mack was on the ground at Bundy Ranch and was describing the Bundy strategizing meetings in which he personally participated. That "journalist" trying to contradict him based on a visit there is pretty lame.

2. Been getting kick out of watching racist, white wing, armed militia types striking "manly" poses.

Obviously these intimidators have been practicing that pose in front of mirrors with their so-called assault weapons pointing down and their finger rigidly straight along the receiver -- like a lady crossing her legs and pointing her toes down -- while being interviewed like they expect the war zone to erupt any second.

I bet some of our gungeoneers got all excited too. I think we've had a few in Nevada, Montana, etc.

5. I find it ironic that the "delicate flowers" are using women and children as shields.

And I'm sure the group you refer to is getting a tingle down their leg reading about their counterparts in Nevada.
