MSNBC Host Blames NRA for FBI's Inability to Find Boston Bomber
Who spiked the Kool Aid??
The National Rifle Association hasn't received much in the way of favorable coverage from MSNBC recently. But on Wednesday's "The Last Word," host Lawrence O'Donnell took that unfavorable coverage to the next level by blaming the NRA for law enforcement's inability to track down the perpetrator of Monday's terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon.
O'Donnell made the statement during the opening of his show. He also blamed the gun-rights organization for the failure of legislation in the U.S. Senate that would enhance background checks for gun purchases.

Didn't the NRA cause the Civil War too?
The NRA stole my baby!

The NRA turned me into a newt!
