GOVERNMENT FEAR-MONGERING? Dept. of Homeland Security Reports on "Right Wing Extremism"

The TCOT (Top Conservatives on Twitter) Report asks,

"Is Obama Homeland Security Report on "Right Wing Extremism" Aimed at the Tea Party Movement?"

You decide: http://tiny.cc/rBHgp

 

According to the liberty papers, this is the White House reponse "to allegations that the DHS report is politically motivated."

The White House has distanced itself from the analysis. When asked for comment on its contents, White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said, “The President is focused not on politics but rather taking the steps necessary to protect all Americans from the threat of violence and terrorism regardless of its origins. He also believes those who serve represent the best of this country, and he will continue to ensure that our veterans receive the respect and benefits they have earned.

Now the only question is whether the words in the response "matter" ... or not?

The 13th paragraph of the Fox story at http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/04/14/homeland-security-warns-rise-right-wing-extremism/ says "But some critics have said the DHS is equating conservative views to right-wing terrorism, but a DHS official countered that earlier this year, the department issued a mirror intelligence assessment of left-wing extremist groups." WHERE IS THIS ASSESSMENT? Where? Earlier today, I could not find it! Somehow, they managed to make this hit-piece against their political opponents available to the reading public, but where is this assessment of left-wing extremist groups that they mention??? This report *is* politically motivated. And obama and the democrats aren't just using their proxies all over the MSM this time. This time, THEY ARE USING THE RESOURCES OF THE STATE TO PRODUCE SOCIAL/POLITICAL PROPOGANDA AGAINST SEGMENTS OF THE AMERICAN POPULATION--AGAINST THEIR POLITICAL OPPONENTS. Think about what that implies.

I STAND CORRECTED. Twelve hours ago, the link to the report on the left-wing groups wasn't there, but it is now. The above Fox webpage contains two links to assessments about left-wing and right-wing groups. Once again, I STAND CORRECTED. But notice how much more effort is given in the analysis is of the right-wing groups. It is still a hit-piece against "the right." Meanwhile, the left-wing "Bush is hitler" groups are portrayed as little more than angry computer nerds.
