Fiore: Oregon occupiers were campers victimized by government

They entered a federal office building while armed, renamed the facility, accessed personnel files and posted private information about employees online, destroyed fencing while allowing the media to record them, drove government vehicles and said they were ready to “kill or be killed” while making a stand against the United States government.

Nevada congressional candidate Michele Fiore calls this “camping.”

In an interview that explored her views of the type of anti-government activists who took over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns, Ore., this year, Fiore bristled at questions in which the Oregon incident was described as an occupation. Not only did she say the activists acted lawfully, she contended they were victims of “an act of terrorism” by the federal government ...

... Fiore, a Republican who announced last week that she was running for Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District seat, isn’t toning down her rhetoric vilifying the federal government and championing anti-government forces ...

And breaking and entering.
And destruction of property.
And threatening federal, state, and local law enforcement.
And doing these crimes while armed with guns.
And destroying the campground so that nobody else can enjoy it.
And any number of yet to be enumerated violations.

Yup! That's how one goes camping...

NOT!
