Anti-Federal Speakers Flock To Oregon In Wake Of Malheur Occupation

By AMANDA PEACHER • 22 HOURS AGO

KrisAnne Hall .. in Oregon this week ... spoke to an audience of about 170 in Prineville on Monday. Her message focused on the parts of the U.S. Constitution that emphasize states’ rights, rather than federal rights ...

"Do you think we have an out of control federal government?" Hall asked. The crowd murmured "yes" in response ...

This is the second time Hall has visited Oregon this year. She’s the latest of a number of nationally known anti-federal speakers who have flocked to Oregon since the occupation of the Malheur Refuge. Past visitors included conservative radio host Gavin Seim and the self-described “Constitutional Sheriff” Richard Mack.

Local had issues with the anti-feds, but maybe these are just a minority that were down with them. After the shooting they had issues with the sheriff that was a bit overtly pro-gun, but he did not speak for the majority.

I think they lost the big public relations fight but they may think if they keep pressing they're gain ground
