As taught by his icon, he must begin by demonizing anyone who disagrees with his objectives.

In order to achieve his goal of total government control of the country and the people, (AmeriKa), all of the above mentioned, “threats” must be subdued.

This is more of a position paper than any kind of scientifically gathered intelligence. Goebbels would be proud.

Obama seems to be particularly afraid of the veterans. Stalin sent his returning war heroes to Siberia for the same reason after WWII.

There is more intelligence on the Obama crowd in this report than there is on the subject groups or individuals.

then why aren’t they doing anything to address OUR concerns? If they would just do that then they would have nothing to fear from us.

terrorism–Overseas Contingency Occurence? Well, these memos are
“Within Borders Contingency Occurences” if you apply the logic(?)

Mostly the left thinks the Terror issues to be a con job, a fools errand, something not worthy of a serious response. Send out the police. They left doesn’t think much of them either).
But Veterans, and Tea Parties, and No More Spending Protests, Oh my. Anyway the elites aren’t going to be affected by terrorism etc…

report.Could it be an attempt to affect attendance at tomorrow’s Tea Party protests.I am picking up my Mom to take her with us,and she mentioned that she was worried about being photographed at the protest by agents of the government.She wasn’t being all that serious about it,but it is interesting to think about.

The right will do to them …

1) Faithful Roman Catholic, 3rd Degree Knight of Columbus (that hateful army of oppression, don’t you know), absolutely opposed to abortion. Check

2) Card carrying NRA Endowment Life memeber, Concealed Pistol License holder who rarely leaves home without it. Check

3) Opposed to amnesty for illegal immigrants and in favor of enforcing immigration laws on the books and building the fence on the border. Check

Hooray! I’m a terrorist! I no longer have to admit to other people that I’m a lawyer (no pirate professional courtesy jokes, please)!

Since when does the administration of this nation take the position of officially demonizing a large segment of its population comprising citizens who express legitimate concerns and/or opposing views to that administrations policies?

Do we have any Republican leaders who find this tolerable? If not, they had better address this blatant smear tactic of all the patriotic American citizens who happen not to agree with Obama, et al.

This is an utter outrage.

The legislatures of 20 states that have completed or are in the process of completing legislation reaffirming their rights under the 10th Amendment are “Right-Wing Extremists”

And that date holds significance.

This is a blatant attempt for the Obamination to divide the country. Plain and simple.

Especially those enacting 10th Amendment legislation, letting them know what the Feds under Obama think of them.

Does this mean I can say I have an FBI file and be one of the cool kids at parties?

I can take a lot. You can call me just about anything you want to. But I draw the line when you compare me to William Ayers.

of state or local authority,

Is Texas A Terror State?

DAMN that pesky 10th Amendment anyway!

-

this is provocation! Is there a whiff of 1930’s Germany in the wind?
Everything the left falsely accused the Bush administration of is now actually happening but from the Obama administration. BTW, it is time GWB stop playing Mr. Nice Guy and actually come out of hiding and say something about this!

We might want to get used to that phrase…

Greta Van Sustern made a comment that Texas might be the most likely candidate to secede from the Union.

By edict of the Minister of Propaganda & State Security, Madam Napolitano… an entire state of people are Right Wing Extremists…

My Mom never thought she’d see it twice in her lifetime, first under Hitler as a child, and now she see the same thing happening again with this group of Government Thugs.

Ayn Rand was right… oh wait… Atlas Shrugged might now be on the Government “subversive” reading list.

why the Obama Administration and DOJ ha suddenly sided with Bush on FISA? Change the “F” for foreign to a “D” for domestic under cover of darkness? I felt a lot better about FISA under the Bush admin’s control than I will about it being under Obama’s. Hogan invites us to:

“Consider that the report implicates as extremist or possible extremists the following:
- “Disgruntled” Military Veterans;
- Those who perceived threat from the rise of other countries;
- Gun owners/enthusiasts who are skeptical of judicial and legislative efforts to curtail their Second Amendment rights;
- Pro-life individuals and groups opposed to abortion;
- Individuals in favor of border security and stopping illegal immigration; and
- Those who discuss or believe in “end times” prophecies.”

All but the first 2 describe me, with the second quickly beginning to describe me more each day. Dang, that’s 5 strikes against me!

Hogan also invites us to:

“Consider the language of the last sentence suggestion that “rightwing extremism” “may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.”

With 4, and soon to be 5 strikes against me as noted above I may as well turn myself in right now.

where are they now? Here’s the text of an article from OMBwatch.com on the Maryland police action. DHS was involved there as well. Why are the civil libertarians on the left staying silent?

Maryland State Police Surveillance of Advocacy Groups Exposed

On July 17, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Maryland disclosed documents revealing that state police engaged in covert surveillance of local peace and anti-death penalty groups for over a year during the administration of former Maryland Governor Robert L. Ehrlich (R). In response, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said he might support a Justice Department investigation into why this surveillance occurred. Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, wrote to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff requesting a full account of the surveillance actions and further information regarding the funds used.

The ACLU of Maryland was concerned that the Maryland State Police were hiding information on the surveillance of local peace activists. On June 12, it filed a lawsuit against the state police for refusing to disclose records in response to a public information request. Plaintiffs include the American Friends Service Committee, Jonah House, Baltimore Pledge of Resistance, Baltimore Emergency Response Network, and several individuals.

A June ACLU press release states, “Documents disclosed during a prosecution for disorderly conduct and trespass against two individuals arrested at a protest at the National Security Agency (NSA) in October 2003 indicated that a ‘Baltimore Intel Unit’ had been monitoring protestors from these groups as they assembled and traveled to the NSA for a protest in July 2004. In order to discover the identity of this ‘intel unit,’ and why the unit was monitoring their peaceful protest activities, the groups filed requests under the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) with several federal agencies, including the NSA, in August of 2006.”

The press release describes the 43 pages of summaries and computer logs. Maryland State Police’s Homeland Security and Intelligence Division sent agents to infiltrate the Baltimore Pledge of Resistance, a peace group, the Coalition to End the Death Penalty (CEDP), and the Committee to Save Vernon Evans. The surveillance continued even though there were no reports of illegal activity and consistently indicated that no violent protests were being planned. Reports of the surveillance were also sent to at least seven federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. The press release went on to say, “Agents from the Division monitored private organizing meetings, public forums and events held in several churches, as well as anti-death penalty rallies outside the state’s SuperMax facility in Baltimore and in Lawyer’s Mall in Annapolis.”

The ACLU of Maryland will be filing additional requests under the Maryland Public Information Act. It called on activists across the state to find out if their organizations have been spied on. The ACLU will work with groups that are willing to provide the names of key individuals who could be listed in surveillance records to document the full extent of any surveillance and will ensure that the targets have an opportunity to review the files that relate to them and have those files purged.

The Washington Post reported, “Then-state police superintendent Tim Hutchins acknowledged in an interview yesterday that the surveillance took place on his watch, adding that it was done legally.”

Reaction to news of the surveillance was swift and negative. Hoyer’s statement said, “While it is the job of law enforcement to protect the public and keep the peace, it is difficult to understand how non-violent peace activists and opponents of the death penalty constituted a threat to public safety. We need to understand why the monitoring of these and other citizens took place — and whether any federal funds were used in support of this program.” Thompson said, “The politically motivated surveillance of dissident domestic groups that have neither a link to terrorism nor promote violence is … a deplorable use of taxpayer funds.” In addition, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) announced an investigation to be led by civil rights attorney Stephen H. Sachs, working with State Attorney General Douglas Gansler and state police chief Col. Terrence Sheridan. The 30-60 day review is aimed at developing new intelligence guidelines.

Anyone got another link to that DHS document? It 404s now.

I am a gun-toting, pro-life, anti-illegal immigrant, consitution-loving, born-again believer married to a Veteran. And if that’s the definition of right-wing extremist, I proudly bear the title.
PS - the tea party I attended today was awesome…
