Two weeks before the U.S. Department of Homeland Security penned its controversial report warning against "right-wing extremists" in the United States, it generated a memo defining dozens of additional groups – animal rights activists, black separatists, tax protesters, even worshippers of the Norse god Odin – as potential "threats."
Though the "Domestic Extremism Lexicon" was reportedly rescinded almost immediately, Benjamin Sarlin of The Daily Beast recently obtained and published online a copy of the unclassified memo, dated March 26, 2009.
While many of the groups listed in the lexicon – such as Aryan prison gangs and neo-Nazis – may indeed be widely considered extremists, others will likely take offense at being described as a potential "threat."

Hmmmm.... Interesting point. However, the Founders knew they were creating something based on liberty. They recognized the need for revolution in order to gain their freedom.
Today's liberal thinks just the opposite. He's opposed to freedom by supporting govt. Most of them don't realize it but that's what they are doing. They can't think for themselves. If they could they would realize that they are actually building the chains that will bind them in the future.
Hey, it’s racial profiling!!! The airport officials won’t be able to use it...
But unlike the 'right wing extremest' one this one was revised on March 26, 2009, 1:53:08 pm, not April. Annnd if this one was revised first, why was it released second? Oh well, on the upside this one defines Barry, his entire Admin, and all his friends as extremists too.
I don't believe they had that in mind. 
You are a terrorist if you are against illegal activity and want the nation’s laws enforced.
“Anti-immigration extremism,” the lexicon defines as “a movement of groups or individuals who are vehemently opposed to illegal immigration, particularly along the U.S. southwest border with Mexico, and who have been known to advocate or engage in criminal activity and plot acts of violence and terrorism to advance their extremist goals. They are highly critical of the U.S. Government’s response to illegal immigration and oppose government programs that are designed to extend ‘rights’ to illegal aliens, such as issuing driver’s licenses or national identification cards and providing in-state tuition, medical benefits, or public education.”
Well, that certainly qualifies me on the illegal immigration list of potential terrorists. I guess we are not supposed to insist that the government enforce the law?
Shhhhhh . . . . .
threat??? anybody what didn't vote for the 0goatse 
Interesting definition. Does this mean:
1. The Internet as a whole?
2. Just the parts of the Internet that aren't part of the mass media?
3. Just the parts of the Internet that they disagree with?
4. Fox news as a whole, since Fox frequently offers "radically" different interpretations that the main stream media?
5. Just the parts of Fox news they disagree with, such as The Factor and Glenn Beck?
6. Conservative talk radio?
7. All of the above?
There is some really, really scary thinking embodied in this definition. Primarily that only the main stream media's view represents truth and reality.
Folks, this thinking is right out of "1984"!
Please everyone, you must re-read this book!
alternative media (U//FOUO) A term used to describe various information sources that provide a forum for interpretations of events and issues that differ radically from those presented in mass media products and outlets.
and there it is...
Wow! Conservatives have really come up in the world. We’re as good as black separatists now!!
How interesting that this document manages to include specific black, white, Christian, Jewish, Cuban and Puerto Rican organizations, but doesn’t include a single term or organization related to Islamic terrorism? Evidently that’s no longer a problem.
Won't work. As he's already done, Obama will send ACORN activists to knock at your door and demand a position statement from you, and whatever it is (or isn't) they'll write it down...
“He’s more the Pee Wee Herman “
P.B. Husseino (wish I had a photoshop of this concept)
media thing was most disturbing to me.
Tax protesters, was that one added since the Tea Parties? This is so silly on their part, what are they going to do, every time one of us sneezes add another thing we do to the list of threats? What horrible people.
