Harry Reid: Bundy supporters 'domestic terrorists,' hints at federal task force ~ By Joe Newby

The standoff between Bundy and the BLM ended Saturday when federal agents beat a hasty retreat after confronting protesters. No shots were fired during the week-long incident, but the situation became quite tense at times, almost to the point of bloodshed.

Since Saturday’s withdrawal, a number of people expressed concerns federal agents would return to finish the job, perhaps in a violent and bloody confrontation. The Bundys warned supporters to be wary of unverified information, but Reid’s statement Thursday would appear to validate those concerns. Reid told the Review-Journal he spoke with Attorney General Eric Holder, FBI leaders and Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie, and understands a task force is being set up.

The story may have faded into the sunset, had it not been for Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid. As Jason Howerton of theblaze.com mentions:

Reid, who recently said the situation is “not over,” revealed on Thursday there is a federal task force being assembled to handle to the tense situation.

But then Harry Reid has decided that the fat lady hasn’t sung yet.

Harry Reid was not only wrong, he was lying on so many levels! How long will it before he calls citizen journalists, in many cases known as Conservative bloggers, Domestic Terrorists? I’m just sayin’…

While attending a Las Vegas Review-Journal “Hashtags & Headlines” event, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., ratcheted up the rhetoric against conservatives by calling supporters of rancher Cliven Bundy “domestic terrorists,” the Review-Journal reported Thursday. He also told the Review-Journal that a task force is being set up to “deal” with Bundy.

“Those people who hold themselves out to be patriots are not. They’re nothing more than domestic terrorists,” he said. “I repeat: what went on up there was domestic terrorism.”

He also accused supporters of bringing children to the ranch to put them in harm’s way in order to make the government look bad. He also accused supporters of using fully automatic firearms.

“There were hundreds — hundreds of people from around the country — that came there,” Reid told the Review-Journal. “They had sniper rifles on the freeway. They had assault weapons. They had automatic weapons.”

He also attacked Bundy, implying that in his view, the Nevada rancher is unpatriotic.

“[Cliven] Bundy does not recognize the United States,” Reid said. “He says that the United States is a foreign government. He doesn’t pay his taxes. He doesn’t pay his fees. And he doesn’t follow the law. He continues to thumb his nose at authority.”
