Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said she was briefed before the release of a controversial intelligence assessment and that she stands by the report sent to law enforcement that lists veterans as a terrorist risk to the U.S. and defines "rightwing extremism" as including groups opposed to abortion and immigration.
The outcry resulted in a demand from the head of the American Legion to meet with Ms. Napolitano, a request the DHS chief said she would honor next week when she returns to Washington from her current tour of the U.S.-Mexican border.
"The document on right-wing extremism sent last week by this department´s Office of Intelligence and Analysis is one in an ongoing series of assessments to provide situational awareness to state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies on the phenomenon and trends of violent radicalization in the United States," Ms. Napolitano said in a statement.
"I was briefed on the general topic, which is one that struck a nerve as someone personally involved in the Timothy McVeigh prosecution," Ms. Napolitano said.
"Let me be very clear: we monitor the risks of violent extremism taking root here in the United States. We don´t have the luxury of focusing our efforts on one group; we must protect the country from terrorism whether foreign or homegrown, and regardless of the ideology that motivates its violence," Ms. Napolitano said.
"We are on the lookout for criminal and terrorist activity but we do not — nor will we ever — monitor ideology or political beliefs. We take seriously our responsibility to protect the civil rights and liberties of the American people, including subjecting our activities to rigorous oversight from numerous internal and external sources," Ms. Napolitano said.

Janet Napolitano is a homeland security terrorist. She and
the entire Zero administration are hell-bent on destroying
the fabric of American life.
That is terror to me!
'fascist dyke' maybe...wench is way to positive and feminine sounding.
You read my mind.
Nearly every show I have watched this week had “business/ownership is evil” as the mantra. There is a definite pattern here.
these guys are pathetic
I want her FIRED.
They’ve declared war, folks.
Yep! Just like Reno. Let’s call her Napeno to cement the comparison.
bookmark- want to be sure my grandson knows his grandmother was an “enemy” of the state...
Then the woman has a psychological problem and should stand down.
Since when is it a crime to reverence our founding fathers, principles and documents? This woman has a mental disorder.
By her standards, she is a potential terrorist. She’s holding a gun. What a fruit loop...
This just in... Voting Republican is a Terrorist act!
-PJ
Oh, really?
...and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority,...
Lying communist hack!
Why is the goofy Homeland Security warning about right wing extremism a surprise to anybody. If you don’t agree with a leftist your are extreme and/or insane. In the first case,it’s off to the gulag with you. In the second, you’re treated to a nice drug cocktail.
They want war?
America will give it to them. The Tea Parties are the
first shot across the bow....or rather the stern in
their case, since they have their “bow” in the sand!
She only is publishing left wing sentiment. There is no evidence of right wing extremism, but there is evidence of an effective counter socialist movement in the USA which is a political movement. It is not an "extremist"movement.
This security warning on right wing extremism is designed to infuriate the left, and hvae leftists intervene inn conservative politiocal events, inn order to cause excuses for the destruction of conservatives who voice in free speech , their opposition to the Obama administration. She seeks a public stigma associated with anti Obama poilitics.
I am proud to be anti Obama. I will not hide that fact for Napolitano or anyone.And that is not extreme, its downright patriotic.Napolitano seeks to redefine such patriotism for Obama's own sordid ends.
So Napolitano can GTH , and the sooner the better. If she begins using the extraordinary powers granted to the Federal Government for the investigation of Islmaofascist terrorists, against Americans, then we will inform ALL of America about that. Count on it Napolitano!
Napolitano is the enemy of American patriots, among whom thousands of soldiers number, and they won't take any of her shite either, as she well knows in advance.
I want Homeland Security to publish more of this jingoistic fascist propaganda. It shows us who the Obama adminsitration really is. They are not true Americans at all!
What’s ironic...
Everyone knows it’s the communists/socialists that take their own out... after the Kulaks use has expired on splitting the country and providing just the right dose of chaos.
Bingo!
This is the same bs that Obama uses too. Their way of talking down to the masses.
