Chill Out About the DHS ‘Right-Wing Extremist’ Memo
Pajamas Media ^ | April 21 | Ryan Mauro

Posted on 04/21/2009 12:24:45 PM PDT by AJKauf

After eight years of the paranoid opposition biting at the heels of President Bush, rejoicing at any possibility of evildoing in an attempt to vindicate their bitterness, it is now President Obama’s turn to feel the hyper-partisan heat. Michael Savage and the Thomas More Law Center are suing Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano after her department issued a memo warning of “right-wing extremists.” Parroting the claims of those who say the use of the term “radical Muslims” is bigoted, will lead to civil rights infringements, and is part of a political-religious crusade, we now hear that the term “right-wing extremists” is part of a political offensive aimed at destroying free speech.

The Drudge siren blared when the Washington Times report was published and within hours there was a mad dash by TV and radio hosts, blogs, and commentators to use the report to take aim at the Obama administration. They sunk their teeth into the portion of the memo warning that right-wing extremists could be motivated by issues like illegal immigration, gun control, abortion, or loss of U.S. sovereignty; they claimed that the Obama administration was viewing conservatives as dangerous radicals.

The neo-cons don’t want you to question the massive internal security they have erected.

Agreed. I also do not believe that the Bush/Cheney Administration produced a white paper calling U.S. citizens potential terrorist rercruits.

I'm not chilling out over this one,.

What I want is that slack jawed idiot fat ass Napolitano given the boot back to Arizona.

Judging from the responses on the website, apparently just about everyone would like this nimrod to take a hike.

This guy is exactly wrong. The best way to prevent such fascist directives from being fully implemented is fast, vigorous, widespread public outrage.

"doubt that this was 100% Janet’s idea."

No argument there. BUT!!

1. She could have put her hoof on it and stopped it.

2.She could have had it rewritten in a better form.

3.(and this is the worst) She could have avoided trying to support the thing while sounding like a cow locked outside its barn. How in hell did she ever get elected governor anyway?
