Fuck you DHS!

Leaving aside the fact that Obama and his cronies are bending over backwards to his buds in Europe, they seem to not like the opposition in this country all that much. I would like to quote from the Washington Times article (and I will if the link ever starts to work again) but to maintain some credibilty I will NOT link to or quote from WND for fear of being lumped in as a nutcase (even though WND is, in my opinion, about as credible as DailyKos, maybe moreso because they have "real" journalists) who wants to overthrow the government (that's not happening ever, well at least until Marshal Law is put into place, then all bets are off). I also am thinking that this is curious timing for the story to break, just one day before the nationwide tax day tea party events. I think this is meant to incense people on my side (for me: mission accomplished you dickheads) to try and get the protests turn violent tomorrow. I beg my tea party goes to NOT TAKE THIS BAIT. This is a totally calculated move meant to try and get us angry and discredit a populist uprising the likes that haven't been since since 1968, and has NEVER been seen on the right. Folks this is BIG.

Update: able to gain backdoor access to article...

A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines "rightwing extremism in the United States" as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.
Looks like liberals were right to say "I love my country but I fear my government". Can I get a bumper sticker for that to go along with th "don't blame me I voted for McCain" one?

The White House has distanced itself from the analysis. When asked for comment on its contents, White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said, "The President is focused not on politics but rather taking the steps necessary to protect all Americans from the threat of violence and terrorism regardless of its origins. He also believes those who serve represent the best of this country, and he will continue to ensure that our veterans receive the respect and benefits they have earned."
Awww... they're too scared to admit they are the one that contributed to the report, how cute...

The report could signify a change in emphasis for Homeland Security under former Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano. A German magazine quoted Ms. Napolitano as rebranding "terrorism" as "man-made disasters." Since its inception in 2003, the department has focused primarily on radicalization of Muslims and the prospect of homegrown Islamist terrorism.

Ms. Kuban said, however, that the department had published reports on left-wing radicalization as well, though she could not name one.

"These types of reports are published all the time. There have actually been some done on the other end of the spectrum, left-wing," Ms. Kuban said.

A similar headline was used in a report issued in January, Ms. Kuban said, although she could not provide the content of the headline.

Ms. Kuban said she did not know how long the new report had been in the making.

"The purpose of the report is to identify risk. This is nothing unusual," said Ms. Kuban, who added that the Homeland Security Department did this "to prevent another Tim McVeigh from ever happening again."

The Homeland Security assessment specifically says that "rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat."

Jerry Newberry, director of communications for the Veterans of Foreign Wars, said the vast majority of veterans are patriotic citizens who would not join anti-government militias.

The FBI report said that from October 2001 through May 2008 "a minuscule" number of veterans, 203 out of 23,000, had joined groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, Aryan Nations, the National Socialist Movement, the Creativity Movement, the National Alliance and some skinhead groups.

"Although the white supremacist movement is of concern to the FBI, our assessment shows that only a very small number of people with prior military experience may have an affiliation with supremacist groups," FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said Monday when asked about the FBI report.

A 2006 report from the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that monitors white supremacists like the Klan, said that white-power groups had an interest in the kind of training the military provides.

Mark Potok, director of the center's intelligence project, said the Homeland Security report "confirms that white supremacists are interested in the military. There is some concern, and there should be, about returning veterans, one need only think of the example of Timothy McVeigh, who was in the first Iraq war."

Mr. Potok added that he was generally pleased with the report.

"Basically, the report tracks fairly closely with what we have been saying for some time now. They mention us a couple of times, though not by name," he said.
This is insane, God help this country. I WARNED YOU LEFTIES BUT YOU CALLED ME A FUCKING FASICST AND RACIST WHEN YOU ARE THE FACISTS AND RACISTS.
