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 think they meant WWII.
side story. My dad was in the Army in 1940 and was due to be discharged December 18, 1941. They sat on the beach at Nice waiting for the merchant marine strike to end so they could go home. Actual discharge August, 1945. Died last year at age 91.
The socialist killer claimed to be a Navy officer. He would not have an ‘enlistment’ date. He would have a commission date. I do not know if they have a database for that.

An elderly gunman opened fire with a rifle inside the crowded U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum , gravely wounding a security guard before being shot.
James Von Brunn, called a white supremacist.
In 1983, he was convicted of attempting to kidnap members of the Federal Reserve Board. He was arrested two years earlier outside the room where the board was meeting, carrying a revolver, knife and sawed-off shotgun. At the time, police said Von Brunn wanted to take the members hostage because of high interest rates and the nation's economic difficulties.
I have seen no evidence that Mr. James Von whatever liked Muslims in any way
So please, don’t be stupid
According to the DHS, I’m a right-wing extremist. I am alive and well, thanks for asking!
That is some story. Thanks.

The Muslims in WWII were part of Hitlers NAZI troops
NAZI equals :
National Socialist Party :
(”Progressives” like Obama & Hillary)
Progressives in the early 20th century were admitted radical Communists
Hillary recently said : “I am a Modern Progressive!”
Buy calling them a “liberal” upsets them terribly
The radical Socialist/Facist/Commies realize most Americans are too ignorant to know what a “Progressive” really was and is now
Well, the ‘progressives’ are certainly encouraging self-expression. The ‘gays’ are expressing all over the place and the liberals emote endless lies.
I need to look for a ‘happy’ thread, lol.
Too bad the same can't be said of CBS.
Well, too bad for CBS anyways.
I notice the shootings and murder in Little Rock have dipped below the radar screen.
.
Yup
In WII the Christians were our allies - saved US & Brit pilots
The Muslims killed our pilots and tossed them in the river
The rivers ran red with Allies blood
Clinton picked the Muslims as allies in the Bosnian War
Clinton bombed the Christian civilians from 20,000 feet
Clintom made up huge numbers of butchered Muslims and broadcast it on TV every day
Now we have been attacked by Clinton’s wonderful Muzzie terrorists and are giving them Mirada rights when they are captured in Iraq, Afghanistan, Whereverastan -
Why will captured un-uniformed terroristr talk to the US Army Intelligence CIA now?
“I want my lawyer right now!”
Obama has the FBI under orders in combat situations
If you kill a terrorist - Obama may prosecute you
If you capture a terrorist - Obama gives him a liberal defense shyster and brings him to America!
Lol, I forgot what my comment was.

You forgot what your comment was going to be?

CBS’s Katie Couric is pulling record new low ratings for network TV !!!
Who would sponsor Katie Couric or any other CBS TV show?
Or on NBC too !!!
The pits!
They are definitely not right wing, but far left.
The Nazi in Germany were white suprimists, anti-Jew, etc. - the same as the American Nazi. Hitler led a socialist state.
It was post #50 that I was talking about. Doesn’t matter now.
I’ve never watched Katie, she may end up on ‘the View’ or somewhere.
yup....the guy has more in common with them...dude even hates Bush!
