WASHINGTON (AP) — A Homeland Security official says the department's office of civil rights and civil liberties objected to some of the language in the now-contentious right-wing extremism report, but the agency issued it anyway. An intelligence assessment issued to law enforcement last week said some military veterans could be susceptible to extremist recruiters or commit lone acts of violence. This prompted angry responses from some lawmakers and veterans' groups. Homeland Security spokeswoman Amy Kudwa said the report was issued before officials resolved problems raised by the agency's civil rights division. She said this was a breakdown of the agency's internal process. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has defended the report. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

OK, so the breaking news is that this report was issued to "law enforcement" last week (anticipating the upcoming tea parties) and in a "rush" to get the document out to law enforcement, Napolitano disregarded warnings from its own civil rights division?

WTF???

[angkor]

And now DHS is being sued by the Thomas More Law Center.

[Jeff Head]

Well the idiots at DHS driving this can monito every bit of this:

Obama is a marxist ideolog. It is he and his ilk who are the extremists...and it is they who are subverting and trampling the constitution.

The people of this country are waking up to it...are realizing that they bought a pig in a poke...and they are going to start the turnaround in 2010 and send this quisling packing in 2012.

My real name is Jeff Head...I live in Emmett, Idaho...and I do not care if "they", meaning those people monitoring these things for DHS, or anyone else know it.

I am a Christian, I hold sacred my rights to free speech, religion, and to self defense through bearing firearms, I have taken an oath to uphold and defend the constitution and hold that oath sacred, and I believe our borders are pourous and being left open to allow illegal aliens to pur into this country and that that illegal activity must be stopped.

I intend to spread the word regarding those issues to all I know, and will use my free speech, conversations, emails, phone calls, letters, and the internet to do so...and will be active in the effort to turn this nation back around.

If that makes me a danger to anyone...then it is because those individuals and institutions who fear the likes of me are themselves a danger to this nation, our way of life, and our liberties themselves...and they should be outed as such.

JN issued an ‘apology’ to the veterans but in her statement she said it was clear to her that they presented a threat and added that Tim McVeigh was a military trained veteran and look what he did!

[Natural Law]

It is obvious that the job is way too big for Janet. Time for Obobo to ask for her resignation.

[mentor2k]

But that was earlier this morning, this info about it being released to “law enforcement” last week and the DHS internal civil rights division halting in brand new stuff AP just reported 4 hrs ago.

[coloradan]

It’s telling how fast the picture can change from “dissent is the highest form of patriotism” under Bush, to any dissenting behavior from Obama’s policies are elevated to threat status within DHS. Can you imagine the fury that would have been unleashed by the media if Bush had issued a DHS security threat alert to some forms of left-leaning protest?

[digger48]

We’re dealing with flippin 6-year-olds here.

[TaxRelief]

All Janets in charge of homeland security are party hacks. Obama needs to fire this loser before we have another Waco.

[Man50D]

Obviously Napolitano wasn't concerned.

She said this was a breakdown of the agency's internal process.

DHS needs to be broken down starting with demanding flaming socialist Napolitano resign or be fired.

[RasterMaster]

Here’s DUmocrats definition of their citizens being themselves (you’ll really enjoy the last one)...I’ll bet not one of these trash got a vist from the Secret Service or the FBI or were ever labeled “extremists” or put on a TERRORIST watch list:

HEY!
0BAMA!
FIRE Napolitano !!

[ChocChipCookie]

That’s no joke. Like Obama and probably most of his appointees, she is in waaaay over her head. Would you believe that when she left Arizona, she STILL hadn’t put together a state-wide emergency plan??? Yeah, she definitely puts the “security” in Homeland Security. /sarc

JN issued an ‘apology’ to the veterans but in her statement she said it was clear to her that they presented a threat and added that Tim McVeigh was a military trained veteran and look what he did!

I wonder if Napolitano's office will release a report about extreme leftists...highlighting the liberal leanings of the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn. Hey, I named three liberal extremists, so under DHS' logic all liberals are serious threats. Right?

This Napolitano guy (I've heard a rumor that he is really a very ugly woman) should lose his job over this. No question.

This had to have been in the works long before Janet was placed. She is just another stupe for Odumbo’s handlers who are exacting their plans on our society that dared to empower the individual. Firing her will accomplish zip, zero, nadda.

[glock rocks]

BTTT

[Cicero]

It wasn’t just one footnote. It was paragraph after paragraph, accusing one “right wing” group after another. Do you value human life? Then you’re an “extremist.”

And what collective amnesia has erased from their minds that it’s not conservatives who are racists. All those racists setting their police dogs on Martin Luther King and his followers or blocking blacks from going into white schools were DEMOCRATS. ALL OF THEM.

Obama is far more of a racist than just about any conservative that I know. He spent 20 years in a Church that taught that God will send all Jews and Romans—i.e., whites—to hell. That didn’t bother him one bit.

and in a "rush" to get the document out to law enforcement

A 'rush' to get it out BEFORE the Tea Parties...

This was BLATANT.

[Mygirlsmom]

Even Hillary agrees:

{banshee on} "I AM SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT IF YOU DEBATE AND YOU DISAGREE WITH THIS ADMINISTRATION SOMEHOW YOU'RE NOT PATRIOTIC. WE SHOULD STAND UP AND SAY WE ARE AMERICANS AND WE HAVE A RIGHT TO DEBATE AND DISAGREE WITH ANY ADMINISTRATION!!! {/banshee off}
