Sounds to me like this newspaper is trying to whip up some hysteria.

They're about one inch away from "Bushitler is crushing dissent! Help! Help! I'm being oppressed!"

I'd be upset if the CA DHS wasn't monitoring some of these nutbags.

No ,their not nut bags. The MMP is a fantastic organization taking the steps the federal government refuses to do. The government is just trying to smear them like they do with people or organizations who buck the system.

The article is thin on facts.

The CA DHS monitoring the Minutemen can be constured a lot of ways. Let me throw on on the pile that may be close to the truth.

Organizations change, evolve. Many times factions split off, those factions being more extreme that the original organization. The Minutemen have already had some pretty extreme types show up at the door looking to "help" and they have done an excellent job keeping the extreme elementts out.

If CA DHSis monitoring the MM, it should to look for signs of factions breaking off or infiltration by the more extreme types. IMHO, That would be prudent. Monitoring them otherwise would not.
