A report compiled by federal and Missouri law enforcement officials has ignited a firestorm of criticism that shows no signs of letting up.
A confidential analysis on “The Modern Militia Movement” compiled by the state “fusion center” has drawn livid responses from people and groups listed in the document. State officials — including those at the Missouri Information Analysis Center in Jefferson City, which compiled and disseminated the report to police — stand behind it, contending it has been misinterpreted.
The eight-page MIAC report listed warning signs indicating someone might be a domestic terrorist or a member of a militia. The signs include: subversive literature, certain political bumper stickers and the Gadsden flag of the Revolutionary War with its “Don’t tread on me” motto.
The report also said “militia members most commonly associate with third-party political groups” and listed several political parties and their 2008 presidential candidates.
Supporters of those parties now fear their members will be profiled and are demanding an apology for assertions in the report.
“I’m a father of three, I’m a husband of one and a grandfather of six,” said Chuck Baldwin, the 2008 presidential candidate of the Constitution Party who was named in the document. “And when they read this, my family was extremely distraught.”
Baldwin said Thursday in a phone interview that he, Libertarian Party candidate Bob Barr and U.S. Rep. Ron Paul penned a joint letter to Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon demanding he repudiate the report.

Bullshit. The critics of the “report” hit the nail squarely on the head.
The tea partys must be riling up the Democrat Governor.
this is a fear tactic. People surely don’t want to be harassed so some will back off and remove the stickers.
I want some more on my truck! neener neener
The Democratik Party in Missouri appears to be out of control. I couldn’t believe the shenanigans they pulled leading up to November 4th.
Mizzou was listed on the Glenn Beck show as one of the top 12 subversive teaching institutions in America.
Their school of journalism is turning out the commies en masse.
Dang, you got me there. Apparently I’m guilty on all three counts.
Let’s Roll!
