Senator Reid-WON'T BACK DOWN-Explains WHY Armed Militia At Bundy Ranch Are "Domestic Terrorists"

[merrily]

6. If they had no intention of using their guns, why were they armed?

I believe it is possible to be a criminal, including against the federal government, without being a terrorist. I think the opposite view is a dangerous one. However, I realize that mine is a minority view anymore.

If someone who tells a joke about terrorists or hijackings in an airport or on a plane can be arrested under terrorist laws, why not these guys?

I don't hear the right or our media speaking out when a jokester, no matter how unfunny or funny, is arrested, but Dick Gregory spoke out against this Friday morning on Morning Joe. He said we had to be very careful about how we use the word, citing the Oklahoma massacre. So, now, it's either a joke in an airport or bombing a federal building, Dick? Taking up arms against government officials doesn't make your list?

I do agree with the general principle that both the right and the left should be more careful how they use the word. After all, our founders took up arms against the government and we call them heroes.
