One wonders if this report was drawn up even before Janet Napolitano (pictured) was named Homeland Security Czar. With referrals to “white-power,” “first black president,” and other racist innuendo, the report could easily have been written before the election.
The article does not say who compiled the report and what "evidence" they have. From the article:
The Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement officials about a rise in "rightwing extremist activity," saying the economic recession, the election of America's first black president and the return of a few disgruntled war veterans could swell the ranks of white-power militias.
A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines "rightwing extremism in the United States" as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.
"It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration," the warning says.
It is interesting that this report surfaced on the eve of the “Tea Party” protests.
According to this report, not only returning Veterans but anyone who opposes killing babies are considered “right-wing extremists.”
It appears that anything the administration sees as a possible threat immediately becomes a ripe target for vilification.
One only needs to look at how much media investigation was devoted to Sarah Palin vs. how much attention was paid to digging into Obama's background which still remains an unresolved mystery.
The report obviously is an attempt to paint all conservative Christian’s and returning Veterans as radical extremists that law enforcement should be wary of.
This appears to be an attempt by the Obama administration to squelch opposing views.
