'Right-Wing Extremism' Report Released Despite Civil Rights Concerns (time to sue)
AOL News ^ | 4/17/2009 | Mark Impomeni

Posted on 04/17/2009 7:18:17 PM PDT by tobyhill

The Civil Rights Division of the Department of Homeland Security raised concerns about the language of a controversial report on alleged "right-wing extremist" groups before the report's release, but the Obama Administration decided to make the report public before those concerns were fully addressed, according to a Department spokesperson. Amy Kudwa declined to say which parts of the report were the source of concern inside the Department. But Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano said that she would rewrite a footnote in the report that defined "right-wing extremists" as motivated by hate, rejection of federal government authority, and opposition to single issues "like abortion and immigration."

We’re dissidents. We have no “civil rights.”

"the Obama Administration decided to make the report public before those concerns were fully addressed"

Not reported here, is an answer to the critical question: WHO in the "Obama Administration" made that decision?

Even Janet Reno wouldn’t “hit it” if she were drunk and huffing meth.

Wow! I did not pick up on that until you just pointed it out. So far Obama has been shielded from this but it looks like someone slipped.

Wow, this is getting pretty creepy folks. We can’t talk about terrorists or the WOT, but conservatives who are against illegal immigration and abortion are the threat. I guess those in power choose to ignore what happened outside the RNC and the property that was destroyed. Oh, wait of course they would ignore it, those are the people that put them in office.

I also wonder what the Obama administration and Congress are doing behind our backs while this little fiasco is coming to light.

Obama, thats who. In Nazi Germany there was a phenomenon called the “dear Furher” letter. Some respected teacher, businessman, friend, etc would get arrested. Or the SA or SS would do something that offended normal German sensibilities. The person would think “if the Furher knew about this,,,” and write a letter.

You can guess the rest.

Obama knows, its HIS policy.

Yeah, that's the first thing I wondered as it became clear she wants to lock up conservatives. I'd feel so much better if I were to be arrested by a hetero fascist.

The VA is now headed by a 4-star general that Obama appointed; he is probably the only veteran in a good position to take his fellow cabinet member to task. He didn’t. He probably won’t. Nice paycheck isn’t it, General-san. Don’t screw it up by having any opinion that might go against those of the communists in charge.
