Republican Sen. who embraced the terrorists has 2nd thoughts..... [8|] "As criticism has mounted over the controversial Nevada rancher’s comments and tactics, the GOP senator is distancing himself from Bundy and his supporters after referring to them as “patriots” earlier this month. “I am very quick in calling American citizens ‘patriots,’” Heller said in an interview. “Maybe in this case, too quick.” You don’t say. Heller went on to explain, “I want to make it very clear that I never called Bundy a patriot. And I believe Bundy should have been paying those fees.” I haven’t found any evidence that the GOP senator specifically called Bundy a patriot, but let’s not lose sight of the context: Heller said, “What Sen. Reid may call domestic terrorists, I call patriots.” He appeared to be referring to the well-armed protestors and militia members who’d rallied to support Bundy in his crusade to ignore laws and court orders he doesn’t like – because he doesn’t believe the United States government exists. Heller saw these folks create a tense, potentially violent standoff with U.S. officials and then he called them “patriots.” Whether or not he specifically used the word in relation to Bundy is interesting, but it’s not the key detail". http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/dean-heller-has-second-thoughts-bundy Sorry jack-ass (heller,that is)......to fuck`n late.
