Muzzling Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) for calling Americans “domestic terrorists” is the last thing Republicans fighting for control of the Senate in November should want. Reid railed at the Americans standing with Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy after about 200 heavily-armed federal agents arrived to seize his cattle for nonpayment of grazing fees on federal land. An American-owned herd of cattle eating grass and fertilizing public land is treated as a threat to national security. Yet, trespassing foreigners, from who knows where, are welcomed “out of the shadows” and granted many of the benefits of U.S. citizenship with Reid’s approval. Whether Bundy has any legal or constitutional right to resist enforcement of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s claims against him isn’t the issue. Americans are incensed at the government’s disparate show of force in response to Bundy’s minor civil offense. Did anyone hear Reid object when the Obama administration classified the murder of American soldiers at Ft. Hood by the jihadist, Nadal Hasan, as “workplace violence?” Denigrating Americans as “domestic terrorists”should be the last in Reid’s long history of abusing his Senate position by making nasty, ignorant, false and defamatory statements without suffering any political consequences:
