The Hutaree raid continues to prove to be a master stroke of propaganda even if the legalities leave about everything to be desired.

ANY militia that makes a public statement is going to be automatically tarbabied by those 8 mugshots. If the Obama administration does nothing much a lot of the move to join militias and learn combat skills, a lot of Tea Party activity by inference, will be squelched. People will understandably not want to be associated with Hutaree.

Even after real shooting starts militias will be painted with that brush for awhile.
