The warning, from the FBI Director, Robert Mueller, came as the former President Clinton drew parallels between the Oklahoma City tragedy and a recent upsurge in anti-government rhetoric
Fifteen years after the Oklahoma City bombing, the specter of domestic terrorism has returned to haunt the Obama administration, with a warning from the FBI that “home-grown and lone-wolf extremists” now represent as serious a threat as Al Qaeda and its affiliates, The Times reported on Saturday.
An FBI spokesman said Friday that Mueller was referring to right-wing extremist groups and anti-government militias, as well as American Islamists, in his testimony to the Senate committee that must approve the FBI’s $8.3 billion budget.
Last month federal agents arrested nine members of a Christian militia based in Michigan, calling itself the Hutaree. They have been charged with plotting to murder local police with a stash of guns, knives and grenades.

I have long thought that Mueller was one of Bush’s worst appointments. And he made a few doozies.
Mueller wants more money in his department. He’s saying stuff that would scare the democrats into funding it.
As Thomas Jefferson said, “When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.”.
Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and barack obama need to get together and have a circle jerk to keep each other occupied.
It’s worse than that. The man at the helm of this country is a home-grown extremist. Why worry about the little guy in the streets?
Well then try this, for starters: Stop importing them.
Cut off ALL immigration from the Islamic world. And actively seek out and deport the ones who are here illegally (on expired visas).
And once the democrats fund it, they're going to expect results.
I would think that $$$ support and larger numbers of Al Qaeda "extremists" would make this, at best, a questionable statement.
Homegrown terrorists in my world refers to American born Islamists/Al Qaeda.
You know...I’m getting tired of these hacks coming up with these insiuations about those of us who have a basic dissagreement with the government over these piddling increases in taxes and their spending like drunken sailors in Hong Kong...
It’s across the board slander at the very least...
I have not seen any evidence of criminal activity in the ranks of conserrvative opposition...
The more they do insituate though, it does clearly impact our efforts to keep the momentum up leading up to the elections in November...
Now, if the liberal side of the aisle mobilizes the voter fraud that they are a part of, then our voice will definetely be effected by their illegalities...
The equation will change at that point...
They are betting we do not have the resolve to carry it to them in this election...
If they manage to screw that up for “everyone”, not just the conservative voting block, but the liberal as well...
Then the contract is busted...
I think whether he is home-grown or not is still under debate. lol.
Then they need to be even more fearfull...
because they are going to get us all killed with their stupid accusations.
Add up all the deaths and violence of the “so called” right wing extremists...and they dont even come close to the threat of Islamo facism. the real reason for Clintons irrelevant speach is to distract from Obama’s gutless cowardice in the face of Islam’s Thug leaders and Racist hate towards us and Israel....This is how to frame the upcomming elections.... Obama is a Islamo facist SUCKUP..
If we put Helen Thomas in the center it would be sure to keep them occupied for a long, long time.
Hey Bob! Have you got any proof or are you just working on getting Barry’s poll numbers back up?
Not true. Not yet, anyway.
Is this MUELLER guy a tool and a nut?
He doesn’t know why but he is right!
Tea-partiers are very dangerous for Obana’s political future!
They are worst than Al Qaeda...for Oboman! But they are very good for USA
Actually he’s Indonesian grown!
Amen, brother, Amen.
My favorite of all Jefferson’s quotes.
The inability of those in power in this country to recall and understand that the people, not the government, contitute the real power and the ultimate rulers of this nation leaves them scared. They’ve got their sweet little deals going on at our expense, and will demonize and attempt to destroy anyone that wants to upset that wealth and power.
The United States Federal Government is NOT the United States. The people, and their States, and the Constitution that binds us - THAT is the United States. They are our public servants, not our masters.
Let Mueller and the rest be scared. Let them be very afraid. They work for us, and at OUR pleasure.
Dang, you beat me to it.
