Janet Napolitano Admits ‘An Apology Is Owed’ ("Right-wing Extremist" Warning)
Fox News ^ | April 16, 2009 | Bill Sammon

Acknowledging that “an apology is owed,” Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano promised Thursday to “meet and clear the air” with veterans groups that were offended by her agency’s report citing “returning veterans” as terrorist risks to the U.S.

“To the extent veterans read it as an accusation,” Napolitano told FOX News, “an apology is owed.”

“I’ll meet with the leaders of some of the veterans groups,” she promised on “FOX & Friends.” “The last thing we want to do is offend or castigate all veterans. To the contrary, let’s meet and clear the air.”

Napolitano said she was briefed on the report, including the warning about returning veterans, before it was released.

“I have to tell you, I was the United States Attorney for Arizona in the 90’s when Tim McVeigh bombed the Murrow building in Oklahoma City and unfortunately he was a vet — that’s where he got his training,” she said. “And so when I was told about the report, it rang true with me. This has happened in the past.”

Napolitano most probably personally wrote the nine page vacuous Diatribe while sitting on a toilet!

apologies to whom?

Pro-Lifers?

Tax Protesters?

Immigration Reformers?

Military Veterans?

Christians?

Gun Owners?

Once she starts, it may take 4 years to get around to everybody she has already slandered. (muslims and gangs not being on that list, btw)

This is a woman who, as governor of Arizona, took the state from a $2 billion surplus in 2006 to a $1.5 billion deficit in 2008. A change of $3.5 billion in two years.

Her major achievement as governor... all day kindergarten.

She was a thorn in the side of anyone interested in truly solving illegal immigation.

She should be removed because of incompetence.

Here’s your apology: Screw you! What a bunch of commie tyrants. Everybody that doesn’t sign on to the groupthink is an extremist and a terror risk.

Call from a payphone if you can find one, or better yet a liberal’s phone. They log those calls ya know, and they’re already on record as considering you a threat.

I left a rude comment on the DHS comment line, to the effect that the best thing Napolitano could do to prevent a “man-caused disaster” like those at Ruby Ridge and Waco, would be to resign immediately. If you don’t see any posts from me for a few years it means her thugs have picked me up.

I think Janet may actually scare away a few of the real terrorists. Just say’in.


If it were a contest between Napolitano, Janet Reno, Nancy Pelosi and Helen Thomas, who would be your pick for least offensive if you had to choose one?

Didn't the unibomber go to some big name college? Can we condemn all the people who went to school with him? And Ayers - he teaches college - can we condemn all college profs? Is Napolitano a hater or what? I wonder if she hates and distrust all Muslims - they killed over 3,000 Americans on 9/11. And that was years after McVeigh.

This doesn't sound like an apology - it sounds like an excuse.

And that fake Indian - Churchhill who stole the work of others - are all indians thieves?

Look at all the people in Congress who have been convicted of crimes. Are they all crooks?

And so many mobsters have Italian names. Is Napolitano a member of the mafia? Hey Janet - we can paint with a broad brush too. We've all heard of killers who were Italian. Are you one of them? Do you like it when we "profile" back at you?
