The Federal Bureau of Investigation earlier this year launched a nationwide operation targeting white supremacists and "militia/sovereign-citizen extremist groups," including a focus on veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan, according to memos sent from bureau headquarters to field offices.
The initiative, dubbed Operation Vigilant Eagle, was outlined in February, two months before a memo giving a similar warning was issued on April 7 by the Department of Homeland Security.
Disclosure of the DHS memo this week has sparked controversy among some conservatives and veterans groups. Appearing on television talk shows Thursday, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano defended the assessment, but apologized to veterans who saw it as an accusation.

If this be treason, make the most of it! - Patrick Henry, May 1765
As Rush said yesterday the DHS memo was a summary of the initial report and I don’t think we will see the original report in it’s entirety.
Have a great day and remember that there are millions of brother and sister Right Wing Extremists doing the exact same thing. GOD bless.

>>>>> I agree that voting for McCain was one of the hardest things I ever did....but I held my nose to keep this 0bamination out of the WH. <<<<<<<
Same here.
But I don’t blame it so much on the stay-at-home anti-McQueeg protesters as on those who (a) voted for McQueeg in the primaries and forced him upon the rest of us, and (b) those who supported Huckster Gantry the evangelical “republican” statist.
Which reminds me of the acquaintance who piously asserted that he and his wife ***asked their pastor for advice on who to vote for*** and that’s why they both pulled the primary lever for Huckster.
This is a guy who’s been voting for 30 years. He needs his pastor’s “advice”?
!?!?!?!?!
Next time I will just use a Ouija board, given how many alleged “conservatives” seem to make their bizarre voting choices.
moderate republicans who still believe the MSM is right and honorable, voted in McCain.
by the time the NY primeries arrived, there was little choice left....
John McCain 333,001 51.8%
Mitt Romney 178,043 27.7
Mike Huckabee 68,477 10.7
Ron Paul 40,113 6.2 0
Rudolph W. Giuliani 23,260
by that time even though Giuliani (who I would never vote for) was on the ballot he had already quit.
I wanted to vote for Fred or Hunter but they were long gone by then.
I have always felt that there be a national Primary day. You vote in the primaries and there is no “who is leading” by the time the primaries reach your state.
Worth noting: no veteran has committed any criminal act against the United States government to date, so why target returning veterans from Afghanistan and Iraq in particular? All you have to do is look at the difference between how Obama is received by the military and how President Bush was received by them. One gets a polite, respectful response, but the other always received a long standing O and cheers that rang long and loud with unbridled enthusiasm. Our troops knew where they stood with President Bush; his love and support of the military was never in question. Compare that to Obama who tries to take away free health care for disabled veterans; who slashes the current military budget and whose policies often show a total disregard for our Constitution and the principles on which this country was founded. I think the Obama team is worried about the backlash as they enact more and more of their radical agenda, and the last thing they want is military opposition from the veterans who still believe in the individual rights and liberties laid out in our Constitution and our Founding Documents.
>ballot box first !
But keep the ammo-box handy.
If ACORN pulls more $hit outta their asses, there should be blood.
That nothing came of the massive, multi-state voter-registration fraud is a disgrace to our justice department.
