Napolitano defends report on right-wing extremist groups
April 15, 2009

The Department of Homeland Security will never monitor ideology or political beliefs, the head of the agency said Wednesday, responding to criticism of a recent report on right-wing extremist groups.

**SNIP**

The report, "Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment," said right-wing extremist groups may be using the recession and the election of the nation's first African-American president to recruit members.

The report, which was prepared in coordination with the FBI, was published last week. It was distributed to federal, state and local law enforcement officials. Mainstream media picked up the story after it was reported by conservative bloggers.

Though the nine-page report said it had "no specific information that domestic right-wing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence," it said real-estate foreclosures, unemployment and tight credit "could create a fertile recruiting environment for right-wing extremists and even result in confrontations between such groups and government authorities similar to those in the past."

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

Janet Incompetano encourages cops to pull over cars that display Gadsden Flags (prima facie evidence of radical tendencies) while the administration encourages protesters who defecate on squadcars (with poop being the prima facie evidence of freedom of expression).

Napolitano is projecting, just like Reno.

Is it really just coincidence that both of these odious women are known primarily for breaking their sworn oaths to protect and defend the constitution of this nation?

Thanks Libloather.

Reno murdered some of us. But she never dared a Federal operation to grab our crouches and boobs as we attempted to board an airplane.

I don’t understand your point.
