Rightwing Extremists?


The Department of Homeland Security. What a joke.

No we learn that "Right-wing extremist groups may be using the recession and the election of the nation's first African-American president to recruit members,". Huh? The nine-page report said it has "no specific information that domestic right-wing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence," (no information ...sounds about right) it said real-estate foreclosures, unemployment and tight credit "could create a fertile recruiting environment for right-wing extremists and even result in confrontations between such groups and government authorities similar to those in the past."


Christ. If these guys aren't hiring idiots like "Brownie ", waving container ships in to port* or taking bribes** they are obviously sitting round making stuff up.

*Through 2008 the DHS repeatedly attempted to cut funding for port security even as we learned of more vulnerabilities in port security programs.

**Stephen Payne, a Bush pioneer and a political appointee to the Homeland Security Advisory Council, was caught on tape offering access to key members of the Bush administration inner circle in exchange for “six-figure donations to the private library being set up to commemorate Bush’s presidency.”

POST SCRIPTUM: OK so maybe I was wrong on this one...
