Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he believes the supporters who rallied around Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy in his fight against the federal government are “domestic terrorists” and Bundy does not respect his country.
The Las Vegas Journal-Review reported that Reid, D-Nev., made the comments at an event Thursday hosted by the paper called “Hashtags & Headlines.”
Federal land managers backed down in a weekend standoff with Bundy after hundreds of states' rights protesters, including armed militia members, showed up to protest federal officials seizing his cattle. Some protesters had their guns drawn and pointed toward law enforcement, some of whom were also armed. But ultimately, no shots were fired and the Bureau of Land Management reported that officials left over safety concerns.
Reid had harsh words for these supporters, saying the government cannot stop pursuing the issue.
“They’re nothing more than domestic terrorists,” Reid said, according to the paper. “I repeat: what happened there was domestic terrorism.”
Reid said he has been told a federal task force is being set up to deal with the Bundy situation, adding Bundy does not respect the U.S. or its laws.

FUHR ... with extreme prejudice and from the bottom of my heart.
Might be a good idea for all of said supporters to sue Reid for slander.
Not news of course, but that Harry Reid is a nasty piece of work. Odd for someone from the wild west.
FUHR.
As a very famous American once said: “If this be treason, let us make the most of it!”
Reid has some wild hairs growing up his kazoo, and he has lost touch with his BASE. They are patriots of NEVADA defending their own land. HE is the alien from the Washingtonian cliche circles who don´t understand that it was the RANCHERS who gave HIM the power to speak and carry a gavel. WHEN will REID learn.
Yeah, that’s right, Harry.
Those clean-cut cowboys, their wives and chidren were the terrorists, and those thugs with the all the tactical gear and machine guns, armored vehicles, sniper rifles, they were victims.
Not needed, but just in case, /SARC
And next time there’s a confrontation out there some BLM or DHS thug might decide he’s justified in firing that first shot at a protester and igniting something much bigger.
You know Harry..... keep this type of flagrant over the top abuse up and you will have domestic terror. However, it won’t be what you are expecting or want.
Look in the mirror to see who the America hating terrorist is, Harry.
Hairy Reed is a domestic terrorist!
Greta Van Susteren (FNC) says Harry Reid has become the Senate Majority bully.
What’s really amazing about Harry’s “domestic terrorism” stupidity is that he has managed to rile a huge spectrum of the American electorate.
The US is teeming w/ ranchers, cowboys, militias, cattlemen, landowners, taxpayers, Bundy sympathizers, and patriots....all of whom will not forget Dummycrat Harry’s demeaning remarks.
Wanna bet that all the heroes who helped defend the Bundys are now in DHS databases, with facial recognition set up? And that this info will be shared with the DoJ and IRS?
The bureaucrats have not yet begun their revenge...

Ever since he claimed to have a source telling him that Romney paid no taxes, and the media just let it go, he figures he can say any crazy thing and nobody will question it.
No doubt had Harry been there he would have fired the first shot...
Anyone who threatens the graft empire of politicians is a danger!
