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.
and who exactly did those guys terrorize or commit violence against? Oh yeah, no one. Throwing bugs in soup is more then any of them did. But for the record, neither of them are terrorists. I'd be extremely cautious about expanding the definition of terrorism beyond a very very strict definition. Especially considering that both presidential candidates want to shut down 'terrorist speech' and websites. Also calling it a federal building is only correct in a technical sense. It was an uninhabited station in the middle of nowhere. I'm more concerned about crickets in my soup then those guys. Which is to say, not at all.
