Oregonlive is the online version of the Oregonian..Who gleefully misrepresented and lied all the way through the Malheur protest, and continue to lie and obfuscate whenever anybody objects to federal overreach and punitive, restrictive (and unconstitutional) land use laws.
This is funny as all fuck.
Ammon is second only to the cop who was killed in the poll.

Ammon Bundy: Oregon standoff leader
The 41-year-old leader of the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, who came to Burns in November to press Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward and other government officials to step in and prevent two Harney County ranchers from returning to federal prison on arson convictions. He led a march in Burns on Jan. 2 in support of Dwight Hammond Jr. and his son Steven Hammond, and then joined with his brother Ryan Bundy and other supporters to seize the federal wildlife refuge located about 20 miles south of Burns. He was arrested Jan. 26 as he and others were driving to a community meeting in John Day. He went to trial on federal conspiracy and weapons charges, testified in his behalf over three days and was acquitted by a jury of all allegations. Bundy, of Emmett, Idaho, now faces prosecution in Nevada stemming from a standoff with federal agents over grazing rights fees involving cattle from his father Cliven Bundy's ranch near Bunkerville.
