Days after liberal media representatives blamed conservative talkers for cop killings in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and a week before Tea Party protests will sweep the nation, the Department of Homeland Security issued a report warning that the recession as well as the current political environment could lead to acts of violence from "domestic rightwing terrorists."
The unclassified document, titled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment," was posted by Roger Hedgecock and the Liberty Papers Monday (h/t Michelle Malkin).
Its contents read like the paranoid accusations of liberal bloggers and leftwing shills on MSNBC and elsewhere:
The DHS/Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) has no specific information that domestic rightwing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence, but rightwing extremists may be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about several emergent issues. The economic downturn and the election of the first African American president present unique drivers for rightwing radicalization and recruitment.
The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.
The high volume of purchases and stockpiling of weapons and ammunition by rightwing extremists in anticipation of restrictions and bans in some parts of the country continue to be a primary concern to law enforcement. [? what law enforcement considers the increase in ammunition sales to be their primary concern? {A: they don't elaborate} snip]
Is the Obama administration now fueling the fire of the Left's War Against Conservative Opinion? Malkin seems to think so:
In Obama land, there are no coincidences. It is no coincidence that this report echoes Tea Party-bashing left-wing blogs (check this one out comparing the Tea Party movement to the Weather Underground!) and demonizes the very Americans who will be protesting in the thousands on Wednesday for the nationwide Tax Day Tea Party.
Read the entire scary document and decide for yourself.
[I find this 'report' extremely disturbing, because this is how totalitarian governments start: by defining an enemy within. Note that despite the constant use of 'terrorists' and 'extremists' and 'radicalization' et al, the actions which deserve such labeling are essentially the viewpoints of the average conservative or anyone who disagrees with what our current administration is doing. And the prevalent word connected to all those pejoratives throughout? Rightwing = thats the real cause behind all these potential threats...
Note too the prevalence of 'may', 'could', 'capable' and every other modifier under the sun to allow them to describe the most incendiary scenarios -- all without a single, not one, example to point to in support of their contentions.
I.e., it's pure attack politics fantasy - but in the form of an officious/serious report from our government. With the help of the msm, I am genuinely concerned about what this could portend.
It's known that we've Hezbollah sleeper cells in the country right now - but our Dept. of Homeland Security is publishing 'reports' warning us of 'right wing' Americans.
Yeah, it's a scary document all right.]
