  I read the southern poverty law center's summary of why they dislike the oath keepers. The cases they touch upon in very one-sided ways, the Bundy ranch, the Malheur Standoff, the Oregon miners, are all cases well known to me, where the oath keepers acted commendably. I invite you to read about those events in more detail, from other sources.

      I am hardly the peanut gallery here. An accusation was flung at an honorable organization from out of the blue, and I responded to that accusation. Since this is your first appearance in the thread, I would suggest you are the peanut gallery here. I will post a motherjones (not exactly conservative friendly site) that, while not complementary, at least highlights that oath keepers is composed of individuals of diverse backgrounds and beliefs, and that they do strive to weed out bad actors when they are identified, just like any other group would do. I found the reporting to be relatively unscathing, considering it's source, and I learned from it myself. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2010/02/oath-keepers/ https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2010/02/oath-keepers/

        The dude who started the org made up the "Hitlery" nickname. Conclusion: not honorable.

To you, somebody calling her a name is not honorable. You don't care what she did to earn that name.
