U.S. Sen. Harry Reid on Thursday called supporters of Bunkerville rancher Cliven Bundy “domestic terrorists” because they defended him against a Bureau of Land Management cattle roundup with guns and put their children in harm’s way.

“They’re nothing more than domestic terrorists,” Reid said during an appearance at a Las Vegas Review-Journal “Hashtags & Headlines” event at the Paris. “I repeat: what happened there was domestic terrorism.”

Think of the worst thugocrats on the planet, in countries like Iran, China, Russia and any African state you can name.

None of them are as thugocratic as our own Senator Harry Reid.

That's the truth of it folks : either they are the domestic enemies or we are ... and the winner gets to write the history books. It doesn't matter that we have a couple hundred years of history on our side; it doesn't matter that we are the patriots. If we don't fight the fight, all that will be swept away inside two generations of common core educated youth.

Yep - he/they are. Public denunciation and demonization is the first step to declaring their opposition as criminals.

Wasn’t one of Reid’s aides the subject of an Oklahoma City Joint Terror Task Force investigation a few years ago?

Harry must mean Tea Party

[BuckeyeTexan]

Harry Reid = elected domestic terrorist

Reid couldn’t play the race card and call them racist, because that just wouldn’t fit. So, he calls them terrorists, when all they did was show up on the side of the Bundys.

Reid is laying a foundation to demonize them. He needs something to use for cover when (not if) similar situations occur in the future.

“Whoops! There it is! The “Domestic Terrorist” label.’

Exact same talking points campaign the dems started before the attempted car bombing in NYC in 2010 which the dems then tried to blame on the TEA Party because the bomb the terrorist used, a fertilizer bomb, matched the dems talking points before the attempted bombing.

It was “just a coincidence” the bomb the terrorist used matched the dems talking points before the attack I’m sure.

It's not just Harry Reid. The US Senate could put the Senate of Ancient Rome to shame. We can't get rid of them...if their lies don't get them renominated, they run third party. They backstab their own if a member comes along and dares not to worship the elitist/globalist agenda.

I don't think there are more than ten US Senators I trust at all.

If civil and peaceful disobedience is domestic terrorism, then the United States has a National Holiday dedicated to a domestic terrorist: Martin Luther King Jr.

The protesters did not point their weapons at anybody. The BLM pointed automatic weapons at the peaceful protesters and had shoot to kill orders on anyone who approached the cows.

Now which group is the domestic terror group?

[Solson]

I suppose King George and Parliament thought the same thing in 1776.

[blueplum]

oh, it was domestic terrorism all right, but not by Bundy’s crew

[hal ogen]

This reid criminal has been a “domestic terrorist” for his while degenerate career...what a bum.

[FlingWingFlyer]

This is weird because I refer to commie DemocRATS like Reid as “domestic terrorists”. I guess it’s all in how you view America.

The govt. shoots bean bags at the drug cartels on the border, but comes out with guns blazing against a cattle rancher grazing his cows?

Something is really wrong here. Follow the money.

None of this makes any sense.

[Unknowing]

Nothing more than a crypto-mafioso Jacobin. I repeat: a mafioso and a Jacobin.

[Washi]

They had weapons, automatic weapons. They had children lined up. They wanted to make sure they got hurt first...

This guy, truly, is a real piece of excrement. Why didn't the reporter call hi on this?

RE: the federal government vigilance

They vet the enemy and he is us.

[lonevoice]

If Reid succeeds in characterizing this as domestic terrorism, I guess the next fed response goes like this?

Instead of facing down a paramilitary assault by the BLM, National Park Rangers and the Nevada State Highway Patrol, it will be the FBI and DoD?

THESE ARE DOMESTIC TERRORISTS???
