Homeland Security chief faces lawsuit over extremism memo

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano (pictured) and Attorney General Eric Holder have been named in a lawsuit over the DHS memo warning of the threat from "right wing extremists."

The Ann Arbor, Mich.-based Thomas More Law Center said the policy reported this week targets certain individuals and groups for disfavored treatment based on their opinions on political issues.

The suit, filed on behalf of radio talk show host Michael Savage and the anti-abortion group Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, seeks a permanent injunction against the policies outlined in the memo, as well as attorneys' fees.

Many conservatives say the Department of Homeland Security is no place for putting the nations interests aside and using it as a tool for a disingenuous, politically motivated agenda.

Sadly, however, that’s what many Washington liberals do. This is not your father’s Democratic Party.

Extremists in the DHS memo include returning veterans and people we meet and work with every day. People who get up early every morning, send their kids off to school and go to work.

Bill Ayers and his Wife and friends actually bombed The Pentagon and other buildings. But the only list they are on is the guest list at the White House.
