The Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement officials about a rise in "rightwing extremist activity," saying the economic recession, the election of America's first black president and the return of a few disgruntled war veterans could swell the ranks of white-power militias.
A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines "rightwing extremism in the United States" as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.
"It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration," the warning says.
The White House has distanced itself from the analysis. When asked for comment on its contents, White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said, "The President is focused not on politics but rather taking the steps necessary to protect all Americans from the threat of violence and terrorism regardless of its origins. He also believes those who serve represent the best of this country, and he will continue to ensure that our veterans receive the respect and benefits they have earned."
The nine-page document was sent to police and sheriff's departments across the United States on April 7 under the headline, "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment."
It says the federal government "will be working with its state and local partners over the next several months" to gather information on "rightwing extremist activity in the United States."
The joint federal-state activities will have "a particular emphasis" on the causes of "rightwing extremist radicalization."

This sounds ominous.
What about the radicals on the left? You know, drug dealers, gangmembers, illegal immigrant rapists, street thugs-- I haven't met an illegal immigrant gangmember yet who was a Republican.
what a crock of shitt
There is nothing I fear more when I’m out alone at night than running into a group of conservatives . . .
This sounds familiar.....
"...Any weapons we resort to must be "real" weapons not pistols. i.e. Rifles and shotguns. Due to concerns of re-supply (you have to plan for a long battle) such weapons should be limited to very small number of different rounds."
"if it is decided to fight, be prepared to fight, bring a backpack, entrenching tool, tent, and other equipment of an Infantrymen. You will need it for Bush and his supporters decides it is better to fight than to accept the will of the people, the fight to overthrow them will be a long fight."
Now we know why the Obamacorns wanted to stop using the term “terrorists” when talking about their Islamofascist pals. They wanted to use that term to describe AMERICANS like myself who have those God Bless America and I Support The Troops ribbon magnets on the tailgate. Napolitano can KMA!!! Kiss it Janet! And thanks for leaving my state on the verge of bankruptcy, BIATCH!
I wonder the same thing. These gangs and drug dealers have laid waste to big portions of all of our major cities. They settle all slights, real and imagined, at the barrel of a gun. They are a much bigger threat to the social order than any alleged “right wing” groups, which are abiding by our laws.
sounds like Obama wants to criminalize Conservatism...
“There is nothing I fear more when I’m out alone at night than running into a group of conservatives . . .”
LOL
When you consider how much Left-Wing politics has been forced down our throats since WWII, the real extremists have all been from the left. We just want our country back the way it was. Joseph McCarthy was spot-on.
War veterans are bad but a usurper who refuses to release his BC, seals up all of his records and files fake Selective Service paperwork and went to Pakistan is good?
The newsmedia is so corrupt.
“what a crock of shitt”
An excellent description of the Obama administration.
It's old news - that was Clinton stuff - over 10 years ago.
With all the panic Clinton and goons put out - what bad has the VRWC done in the past 10 years?
Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
So according to the DHS, we need to watch out for those Navy SEALS who killed the pirates.
” I haven’t met an illegal immigrant gangmember yet who was a Republican. “
That might be my new tag line!

(one "Nothing" for every year) The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy hasn't committed ONE crime in 10 years.
Can you say the same about members of Congress? (NOPE)
