Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said she was briefed before the release of a controversial intelligence assessment and that she stands by the report sent to law enforcement that lists veterans as a terrorist risk to the U.S. and defines "rightwing extremism" as including groups opposed to abortion and immigration.
The outcry resulted in a demand from the head of the American Legion to meet with Ms. Napolitano, a request the DHS chief said she would honor next week when she returns to Washington from her current tour of the U.S.-Mexican border.
"The document on right-wing extremism sent last week by this department´s Office of Intelligence and Analysis is one in an ongoing series of assessments to provide situational awareness to state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies on the phenomenon and trends of violent radicalization in the United States," Ms. Napolitano said in a statement.
"I was briefed on the general topic, which is one that struck a nerve as someone personally involved in the Timothy McVeigh prosecution," Ms. Napolitano said.
"Let me be very clear: we monitor the risks of violent extremism taking root here in the United States. 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," Ms. Napolitano said.
"We are on the lookout for criminal and terrorist activity but we do not nor will we ever monitor ideology or political beliefs. We take seriously our responsibility to protect the civil rights and liberties of the American people, including subjecting our activities to rigorous oversight from numerous internal and external sources," Ms. Napolitano said.

Yes, zer0 doesn’t need her help, he, Holder and Rahm are quite capable of starting one on their own.
Now which one would you say would require having a radical P.O.V. to be heard/noticed?
That's kind of a nutty website there.
It proves the lefties are worried and also proves that there is nothing else they CAN do about the fact that America is arming itself, most assuredly against their own government and its now nationalist socialist policies.
There are no "liberals" left, except for a few like Joseph Leiberman. Most of them are now nationalist socialist who will allow circumstances of crisis to morph them into genuine fascists. Jonah Goldberg reiterates the politcal process well in his well annotated work:
"Liberal fascism: the Secret History of America's Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning."
Indeed Napolitanos jingoist Homeland Security warning against Right Wing extremists is one more demonstration of the use of the "politics of meaning." Patriots are redefined as " Right Wing Extremists." Just as those who invest are now known as the "Investor Class" to be villified and taxed as greedy individuals who should not be advizing economic recovery.
More jingoism. Bring it on. America gets to see one more glimpse into the nationalist socialist can of pigs who now control our nation. We will put that right in the next election, or in the streets. Makes little difference which.And Napolitano and the Obama camp fear that fact. Why else would such jingoism be paraded across the screens of our wool gathering electorate?
To keep them wool gathering, of course, a political Ponzi scheme doomed to eventual failure.
America is begining to awaken. A very GOOD thing. We know how to handle Janet Reno II. Derision and Ridicule, the best weapons against fascism which bring the light of day on their miserable Animal Farm schemes.
Napolitano is a genuine ANIMAL FARM pig, whose sibilant "oinking" I deeply encourage.I want to hear more of it from "Piggy" Napolitano. It shows that she and the Zero crowd are definitely OFF the deep end.
I now demand that Secretary Napolitano be fired. She approved this insulting and dangerous report.

What’s the little commie going to do? Send out DHS to search little girls’ purses and ask them to remove their shoes?
I saw these same kind of people at the first March for Justice. I think it’s time for another one, personally. V’s wife.
who ever elected her to anything...my word! V’s wife.
She should not be trying to escalate the impending storm if they do not back off their tyranny.
In other words, that's EXACTLY what they are doing.
That’s kind of a nutty website there.

Indeed it is. That is NOT what I meant to copy and paste.
