Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called supporters of rancher Cliven Bundy “domestic terrorists” Thursday, turning up the rhetorical heat on the already tense situation at the Nevada cattle operation.

“Those people who hold themselves out to be patriots are not. They’re nothing more than domestic terrorists,” Mr. Reid in remarks at a luncheon, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which sponsored the event. “… I repeat: What went on up there was domestic terrorism.”

The Nevada Democrat was referring to the hundreds of Bundy backers — some armed, some from out of state — who congregated at the ranch last week in a show of support as the Bureau of Land Management began seizing the family’s cattle in a dispute over grazing fees.

No shots were fired, although Ammon Bundy, Cliven Bundy’s adult son, was stung by a Taser last week during an argument with federal agents.

BLM officials abandoned the cattle-gather Saturday, citing concerns about public safety at the Bunkerville, Nev., ranch as the number of demonstrators grew....

So swear out warrants for the arrest of each one of them on terrorism charges, Harry.

Put them in Guantanamo next to the foreign terrorists.

Have the courage of your convictions, you candyass.

Who called off the "action" by the BLM?

Why did Clark County Sheriff Gillespie only show up at the end of the week? Where were his deputies all week?

Rumor has it that the mob knows where he lives and has known it for a long time.

When Leftists gather to protest, express “concern”, or show solidarity in order to keep police and court processes honest and corruption free, it’s called participation and free speech.

Such as the Trayvon Martin trial, various immigrant protest marches that shut down LA highways, sit ins on campuses, union protests, etc.

When constitutionalists do it, it’s a threat, terrorism, or hate speech.

They should call Harry a “socialist terrorist”, for making “terroristic threats” to them.

If you have a problem with a vision of the future as “a boot stamping on a human face forever.” then you are a “domestic terrorist”?
Down with Big Brother.

Is it a coincidence or by design that the cable channel, History International, is doing an hour long documentary on the threat of domestic terrorists (Timothy McVeigh is mentioned) and the American Nazi infiltration in our military? The documentary seems to say that the military is a breeding ground for white supremacists.

“I hope that’s not the case,” Mr. Reid said in the Review-Journal. “I repeat, we are a country of laws. … We can’t let this happen.”

Is this the same Harry Reid who is pushing amnesty for lawbreakers who crossed our borders? I thought laws didn't matter Mr. Reid. Make up your mind.

I may not agree with what Bundy is doing, but calling supporters domestic terrorists is akin to the Nazis blaming the Jews for the Depression. Reid would make Goebbels so happy
