The thing is the Obeyme Admin's Homeland Security dept issued a report last April titled, "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment"
The issues the DHS study claims are the rallying points for radicalism and extremist recruitment are exactly those that animate the national political debate; abortion, illegal immigration, gun rights, race equality and exceptionalism, jobs and how the economic crisis is being handled.
They [we] fit the assessment of "extremists" that was "provided to federal, state, local, and tribal counterterrorism and law enforcement officials so they may effectively deter, prevent, preempt, or respond to terrorist attacks"
Within the DHS report there is the admission that there is this, "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."
So the Obeyme Admin had no problems calling people like me a "domestic rightwing terrorist", "extremist" & "radical", ET AL.
If they can spew that kind of calumny against normal, mainstream Americans in a Homeland Security report, why can't they at least be honest about the real terrorist sources? |
