Are You a Right-Wing Extremist?

A report from Janet Napolitano's Department of Homeland Security is entitled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment." The report is "one of the most shoddy pieces of propaganda I'd ever seen out of DHS," writes Michelle Malkin, who deems it a "piece of crap report." The "Key Findings" section of the report opens with these words: "The DHS has NO SPECIFIC INFORMATION that domestic rightwing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence...but the economic downturn and the election of the first African-American president present unique drivers for rightwing radicalization and recruitment." This document is an attack on the First Amendment and will subject peaceful, conservative Americans to SCRUTINY by law enforcement at federal, state and local levels. Isn't it convenient that Napolitano is able to designate opponents of her and Obama's weak immigration policies as terrorists-in-waiting! I'm interested to know whether the DHS will assess connections between Obama and the Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. Ayers and Dohrn actually ARE domestic terrorists who DID participate in violent attacks on innocents. Or maybe assess Hillary and the FALN terrorists for whom she advocated pardons. Or assess Eric Holder who worked to pardon terrorists in the Clinton years.

Fitton also notes other aspects of Napolitano's report: * "The Obama administration's plans to restrict the ownership of firearms will motivate paranoid rightwing extremists to stockpile dangerous weapons in preparation for a violent attack." * "Military veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan who face challenges reintegrating into society may become terrorists..." In fact, the report suggests that if you focus on one conservative public policy issue - such as illegal immigration or abortion - you are especially suspicious." [So - if you're a conservative who opposes illegal immigration, a returning veteran, or one who has moral qualms about abortion - the state views you as a potential terrorist and subversive! Napolitano's DHS document wasn't intended to be made public. But it's obviously dangerous to all our constitutional rights and liberties and it tacitly aligns the Obama administration with a method used by many totalitarian regimes to make certain citizens "enemies of the state" and marginalize them.

Yup

[BipolarBob]

I try to be.

[mom-7]

Guess I am.

[shankbear]

I support the 2nd Amendment
I am anti-abortion
I support our military
I own guns
I am a Christian.

I guess that means I am a threat.

Meanwhile that guy obama is off again on his Kneepad tour, groveling and schnozeling like Monica Lewinski. Will it ever end?

As a DHS-designated “terrorist,” my new motto is Al-Jumhurriyah al-Hurrah Akbar! — Free Republic is Greatest!

[allmost]

You are safe if you hate the rule of law (The Constitution). Hate the thought of anyone personally defending themselves (The second Amendment). Hate the thought of saving a baby from murder. You are safe. Sign up for the du, they love you sick bastards there...

[Winstons Julia]

Yes, I am, and I want a t-shirt that says it loud and proud.

Me, right wing extremist?
Naaaaaaa.
They’re too far to the left for me.

Are there any Republican illegal immigrant rapists, illegal immigrant murderers, drug dealers, street thugs, gang members?

I don’t think I’d be wrong if I assumed 99.9999% of them preferred Obama to McCain. When can we expect a report on Obama supporters?

[Ulysse]

I would like to wear a T-SHIRT printed with “I AM A RIGHT WING EXTREMIST”

[fwdude]

Apparently so - and proud of it!

[tobyhill]

HELL YA I’M A RIGHT-WING EXTREMIST!

Napolitano's DHS document wasn't intended to be made public.

I respectfully disagree. This was a trial balloon to gauge public reaction. And requests by Republicans for an "apology" from Napolitano is sending the message that Republicans still have no onions. And that is just what she wants to find out.

Apologies? That makes me want to puke. These people are declaring war on conservatives. Why would anyone think think that an apology has any meaning coming from duplicitous fascists?

Are You a Right-Wing Extremist?

Yes! Who knew!

“You may be a right-wing extremist if....”

I’m a Right-Wing Extremist in favor of page breaks and paragraphs.
