Las Vegas Review Journal -- 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.”
The BLM shut down its weeklong roundup of Bundy’s cattle Saturday after an armed confrontation with militia members who had traveled to Southern Nevada.[...]
“It is an issue we cannot let go, just walk away from,” Reid said.
“There were hundreds, hundreds of people from around the country that came there,” Reid said. “They had sniper rifles in the freeway. They had weapons, automatic weapons. They had children lined up. They wanted to make sure they got hurt first … What if others tried the same thing?”
Blog author’s comments - And people wonder why Democrats want gun control. It is so they can call out their Federal gun toting goons and subject the citizens they disagree with to their tyranny. Harry Reid is a evil, dangerous little man. Who are Bundy supporters terrorizing, government agents, and politicians trying to make land deals?
I agree that Mr. Bundy is grazing approximately 500 cattle on federal land, but he has been doing this for decades. Why make a big deal about it now, especially by sending government agents with guns? I don’t believe we will ever receive the real story. Reid said "I repeat, what happened there was domestic terrorism." Based on the definition of 'terrorism' and the fact that the only deaths were those of Bundy's prized bulls and the only destruction was to the Bundy property, it's a logical conclusion that the BLM agents were the so-called terrorists.
Reid said this is an "issue we cannot let go, just walk away from." I believe him, he does not like to lose. It would be a good thing for the country if Harry Reid was the minority leader in the Senate after this years midterm elections.
