Right Wing Extremism: Alive And Well (says CBS)

At this point it's little consolation, but Department of Homeland Security head Janet Napolitano turned out to be more prescient about domestic extremism than many of her critics.

In April, she got an earful from conservative bloggers and radio pundits after DHS issued a nine-page report, "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment," which warned of the potential for violence from rightwing fringe groups.

In part, the critics' distemper was connected to language which they said unfairly singled out returning veterans and conservatives. Here's what the report said:

"Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to rightwing extremists. DHS/I&A (Office of Intelligence and Analysis) is concerned that rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to boost their violent capabilities."

Napolitano soon backtracked from that particular paragraph and sought to defuse the mini-controversy by making the larger point that department's job is to monitor the risks of domestic violent extremism.

"We don't have the luxury of focusing our efforts on one group; we must protect the country from terrorism whether foreign or homegrown and regardless of the ideology that motivates its violence," she said.

I may need to write a response to the little queer

[cranked]

But no mention of left wing extremism being alive and well?
Hypocrisy abounds...

[Renegade]

The United States National Socialist Party led by the Obamamessiah ( USA NAZIS) seem to be doing a job on the Constitution .

There’s a single crime by a single Jew-hating, Islamic-loving, racist S.O.B, and now CBS is going to paint conservatives in this light? This is such B.S. We’re the guys trying to defend Israel and the Jews from extremists.

Somebody is stirring up hatred:

Asked if he had spoken to the president, Jeremiah Wright said: “Them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me.

[muawiyah]

One of the problem for the Leftwingtards in this case is that Obama has been conducting diplomacy against Israeli initiatives in public. This has done little more than stir up the antisemites. They take Obama's criticisms as an OK to kill Jews.

Obama should learn to tone down the rhetoric.

"I hope that everyone who mau-maued the Department of Homeland Security for expressing concern about this kind of thing feel appropriately ashamed of themselves," wrote Yglesias.

And by his own words, Mathew Y"aka Dumb-ass", proved to the world how stupid he is.

[pissant]

And I COMPLETELY REJECT any and all attempts to lump hitler loving P’sOS into the right wing camp. They are left wing, eugenics loving scum.

[Carl LaFong]

This is a continuing campaign by the media/left axis to make anyone to the right of William Ayers and Odumbo enemies of the state.Laying the groundwork, folks.

[rwa265]

That 88 year-old killer sure fits the returning veteran profile./s

[GAB-1955]

We have ways around them. They don't hold the monopoly on political dialog. We have FR and other sites, and we can get our message out. That 89-year old 88’er was not one of ours.

Extremism in the defense of Liberty is No Vice.

And Moderation in the pursuit of Justice is No Virtue.

“Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to rightwing extremists.”

When We The People build our OWN Army to overthrow Washington, we Vets are gonna come in REAL handy.

I’m just sayin...I got your back. ;)

Let’s saturate the waves with the same courtesy.

Beat me to it. I was about to comment: Why are white supremacists considered “right wing”? They’re socialists who hate Israel.

[roses of sharon]

Commie propaganda.

Resist and Fight.

[cripplecreek]

Sounds more like left wing extremism to me. Liberals hate Jews. David Duke supports Cindy Sheehan. The KKK holds anti war Rallies.

[sport]

It will never be mentioned.

[roses of sharon]

Good point...you need to do a vanity with that title..."Hussein, tone down the anti-Israel rhetoric"!

[TribalPrincess2U]

Not mentioned here?
