Napolitano Pulls Right-Wing Extremism Report
The Washington Times ^ | May 14, 2009 | Audrey Hudson

Posted on 05/14/2009 10:31:48 AM PDT by conservativegramma

A contentious "Rightwing Extremism" report that warned of military veterans as possible recruits for terrorist attacks against the U.S. was not authorized, has been withdrawn and is being rewritten, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told Capitol Hill lawmakers.

"The wheels came off the wagon because the vetting process was not followed," Ms. Napolitano told the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday.

"The report is no longer out there," she said. "An employee sent it out without authorization."

The report was shared with state and local law enforcement officials nationwide via the department's internal Web site on April 7, angering Republican lawmakers and military veterans who said it unfairly stereotyped veterans.

Ms. Napolitano did not say when the report was taken off the "intel Web site" and all Homeland Security Department Web sites, but she said it is in the process of being "replaced or redone in a much more useful and much more precise fashion."

She’s lying. That’s one of the few requirements to work in an administration like this, to be a damned good liar. I will admit though, she isn’t a very good liar.

Pelosi, Napolitano, so many others, the Democrat party is so bankrupt.

They pulled the extremist report? So I am not a threat now?

This is an outrage! Outrage!!!

I have read and understand the Constitution and can even recite the Preamble from memory! From memory!

Even worse, I can quote from memory the first 2 paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence! Independence! From Government!!!

I have, almost reflexively, offered pertinent quotes from the Founding Fathers in political conversations! Reflexively! Quoting white guys!!!

I post on a website where (according to Jeanine Garafolo and other enlightened progressives) everyone is a racist bigot xenophobe sexist homophobe fundamentalist wacko! Wackos!!!

I own guns, even an ugly “assault weapon” with plastic parts and that folding doohickey! Bullet spewing with no sporting purpose!!!

I have an NRA sticker on my SUV! NRA! SUV!

With all due respect, Ms. Napolitano, if your agency isn't devoting time, resources, and energy to me and all my wacko friends, then I WILL be attending a tea party.

Next we will see Ayers's style hit squads after all of us. They will make it look like an "accident" I'm sure.

Oh, but they should not forget that there are 85 million of us right-wing extemists out there WITH GUNS...and most of us probably shoot better than those Keystone Kops.

You know, bring that on - at least then we'll have some honesty from the traitors.

Yeah just what I was thinking it took long enough I seem to recall the headline that SHE STANDS BEHIND this report.

Marxists that do not know anything but radicalism always will look the fool.

Libs never, ever accept responsibility for their own actions.

If she did she would be excoriated and probably replaced. The blame game is best practiced when done by a liberal politician. That's why Obama will continue blaming Bush for everything that goes wrong from the beginning of his administration to the end.

Now, if it's true that the report was pulled, has the employee who came up with the "unauthorized" report also get pulled? Or will that remain a mystery? It it's going to remain a mystery, then it will be so because there might be repercussion if that employee's name is mentioned. It might also remain a mystery because the culprit behind the report was somebody in a high position, such as Napolitalino herself, or Obama, or Rahm Emmanuel.

You can’t unring the bell.

Over and above the fact that the pee is already in the swimming pool.

I used to like "you can't unring the bell" quite a bit. But I think that "the pee is in the pool" has it beaten by the tip of a ... nose (yeah, that's the ticket).

Is Secretary Shortshanks mentally retarded?

Oh, come on now, let's be nice. She's "INTELLECTUALLY CHALLENGED." Get with the program.

That said, she's still smarter than she's looks.

This reads to me like she will be Obama’s Supreme Court Justice nominee

Interesting. The dems do have a long record of "cleaning out their closets" before being nominated to a position

Meaning there's nothing still in existence that can tie either her or Hussein to it.

It did more damage to the government. Not even the New American magazine could come up with evidence of a conspiracy better than the DHS provided.

All of her ilk, who brought out and supported this vile report should be fired.

Sure they do. But they only do it when they know that their backs are covered and there will be no consequences at all. Remember when Janet Reno “took full responsibility” for the Waco murders?

This along with the “torture” memos, the near release of detainee photos, Obama snubbing the Medal of Honor ball, defense cuts, and a list of other negative actions, paves the way for Obama to create his “civilian national security force”—an army of gangbangers modeled after Papa Doc’s Haitian Tontons Macoutes.
