TPM buried the lede: Patriot Leader Who Threatened To Rip Reid's Balls-Lives off Gov Disabilty Check

Militia Leader Threatens To Rip Reid’s Balls Off Over Bundy ‘Civil War’

http://forums.talkingpointsmemo.com/t/discussion-militia-leader-threatens-to-rip-reids-balls-off-over-bundy-civil-war-video/2544/13

I can't believe TPM buried the lede. The Patriot Leader Mike Vanderboegh is on Social Security disability. He was the idiot that encouraged Tea partiers to throws rocks at Congressional offices. He travels around the county on his SS disability checks protecting the border in Arizona, rallying for gun rights in Virginia and now in Nevada with fellow welfare grazing owner Cliven Bundy.

The minute I saw his name in the story I remember this guy and his disability story from the Post:

Vanderboegh said he once worked as a warehouse manager but now lives on government disability checks. He said he receives $1,300 a month because of his congestive heart failure, diabetes and hypertension. He has private health insurance through his wife, who works for a company that sells forklift products.

1. If he can do all that to Reid, they just might have to take his disability away...

since that would take a bit of doin'.

He'd probably wet his pants if Reid barked back at him.
