Yeah, saying they simply "went camping with guns" is completely disingenuous bullshit. They commandeered a federal building by threatening violence with guns and vowed to fight to the death if needed. What would you call that? And I'm sure it had quite the effect on the people working at the preserve.
If the best that people can come up with to demonize the extreme left is a group throwing bugs in a restaurant, there is clearly an extreme disparity between the lengths that the extreme right and the extreme left will go to.
