While many have condemned the strong-arming and pseudo-military tactics of the Bureau of Labor Management in its standoff with Cliven Bundy, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, reserved his criticism for the Bundy family and their many supporters — which he labelled domestic terrorists.
Reid’s comments came during a live interview with Steve Sebelius, a columnist for the Las Vegas Review Journal. Reporter Jon Ralston, who attended the event, tweeted Reid’s statements regarding the dispute between Bundy and the BLM:
“What happened in Mesquite was domestic terrorism.” @SenatorReid
— Jon Ralston (@RalstonReports) April 17, 2014
Reid was referring to the hundreds of supporters of Bundy, who came to his Nevada cattle ranch to protest his treatment at the hands of the federal government, which was intent on regulating and taxing the ranch out of existence. BLM agents descended upon the ranch to remove hundreds of cattle that they claimed were endangering a tortoise habitat.
Agents came with military style equipment, according to the Bundy family, and tasered several protesters on a road leading to the ranch after the stepped out side the designated “free speech zone.” (RELATED: Victory for Cliven Bundy, Nevada rancher who challenged feds)
Reid called those who would stand against these tactics “domestic terrorists.”
“These people who hold themselves out to be patriots are not. They are domestic terrorists.” @SenatorReid clearly prepared that line.

From Fox News:
Fox News toured the damage -- allegedly caused by the Bureau of Land Management -- which included holes in water tanks and destroyed water lines and fences. According to family friends, the bureau's hired "cowboys" also killed two prize bulls. "They had total control of this land for one week, and look at the destruction they did in one week," said Corey Houston, friend of rancher Cliven Bundy and his family. "So why would you trust somebody like that? And how does that show that they're a better steward?"
Wow, we SO didn’t see that coming...
harry comes with the full weight of the islamist soetoro behind him.
Who’s a terrorist?
I remember it well. That is why I continue to harp on “Watch out for Government treachery”. One is not dealing with normal human beings. one is dealing with individuals who have no principles, bad morals and character, no conscience. They only have an insatiable lust for power. An insatiable lust to shed other people’s blood. The only lives they hold precious are theirs. The only bloodshed they wish to avoid is theirs. Everyone else is only a means to their end[s]
Reid wants to hunt down and kill the citizens who resisted his stormtroopers. That’s what happens to terrorists.
I am also not surprised not one damn Republican has rubbed his nose in this.
By Harry’s leftist assumptive worldview,
there is no way that gov’t can be in the wrong,
so all those actions are justified.

Above is the link to the polygraph in which Donald Williams, former campaign manager of Harry Reid, claims that he personally delivered over $10,000 on 2 occasions to Harry Reid from brothel owner, Joe Conforte. The polygraph found: “no deception indicated”.
From Josephconforte.com about mafia boss, Joseph Conforte: “It was November 6, 1974 and Joe felt like he could sit on top of any mountain in the Sierras and shout “I’m the Don of Nevada. I own this state! Me! The one the cops and DAs and pencil-pushin’ government prosecutors thought they could bring down.””
(from Wiki) ***Conforte fled to Brazil in 1991, ahead of a federal grand jury handing up numerous indictments in 1995 and 1998. The Brazilian Supreme Court ruled in 1999 that the extradition treaty between Brazil and the United States did not cover bankruptcy fraud.[4] As of 2011, he continues to live in Brazil.[citation needed]***
They’re too much in the “my distinguished colleague” mode.
RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)Of course, the Left overlooks the fact that the nation knows full well war has been declared by the Left on the rest of us. So while Reid may besmirch Bundy in the minds of the Left, he builds sympathy for Bundy from the rest of us and shines a light on the great divide that has been created and festered by Obama, Reid, Pelosi, et al.
You assume correctly. Clearly the optics of this thing would have killed them in November. I'm guessing olde Harry is ignoring orders to button his lip.
Post of the thread award!!!
From the other comments I’ve read so far...Some people here are FINALLY getting this!!!
“Colleagues” in communism. They certainly have become that. To the detriment of their country.
Truly amazing how fast they turn into human garbage when called on to live up to their oaths.
We can only hope enough people truly understand it in time. There is reason to hope but time will tell.
0 nor any prominent Pubbies have said a word about this. Eerie silince. So far, Dingy’s doing all/most of the talking.
He looks constipated.
No Heinous Harry, you are the domestic terrorist.
Those in DC such as Harry Reid should also be labeled when being referenced publicly for what they really are; i. e., the SML and un-indicted criminal and coconspirator, Harry Reid!
