MSNBC admitted they were only allowed to ask ONE question with no follow-up on the report. http://www.politico.com/blogs/anneschroeder/0409/One_Question_Napolitano.html

I loved the part were they were going to ask their viewers (all 5 of them) if they should have done the interview under those conditions. Umm, really???? Isn’t that journalism 101 — you are the journalist, you ask the questions.

April 2001: “Left-Wing Extremism: The Current Threat”

Seems every so often a report goes up about either left-wing extremism or right-wing extremism. Odd that the focus tends to be on the opposing ideology. Why would they be riled up? Hrm.

Why is this such a big deal now?

devil in the details

The report on left wing extremists is specific and has specific names of organizations that area threat or have been a threat and actually comited terrorist acts.
The report on right wing extremists is vague and names no names, only generalities that could be used to describe anyone.

Thanks for the reply-

I’ve been reading both reports. The 2001 report does cite specific groups/names, but then again it was looking at historical cases. On “current” threats, however, it was just as vague. I can’t find any mentions of current recruiting (at the time of that report).

The DHS memo is specific in some cases. I’d consider “neo-nazis, skinheads, and white-supremecists” to be pretty specific. Not to mention a large tendency for these operations to be non-group oriented (the foiled plot at the DNC, for example, were part of what organization?)

But okay, just wanted to know what the “big deal” was.

Those aren't specific groups

Think “Muslim extremists” as opposed to “Al-Quaeda” or “The Muslim Brotherhood”. One is a set of beliefs which may or may not be held by an individual, the other is an organization or group dedicated to the violent spreading of said beliefs.

Great column about this by Ollie North

Crowe (Diary) Thursday, April 16th at 4:08PM EST (link)

Col. North’s column, to be published this weekend, tears into this. He has the memo we weren’t supposed to see which sparked it all over at Freedom Alliance.

“We sleep soundly in our beds only because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence upon those who would do us harm Dear Leader Obama gives us leave to do so.”

 

The report nowhere equates conservatives with extremists

Extremists are a subset of every ideology. The DHS report clearly targets only the subset of conservatives who are right-wing extremists, just as similar memos on Muslims target only the subset of Muslims who are violent fundamentalists. This is not a big deal. Get over yourselves.

wow another lefty troll who only comments on gay marriage and the insignificance of the DHS memo...

But this isn’t a site for left wing rebuttals. Nor is it here for you to “challenge” us.

So, beat it. Blam.

Aaron,

Do you have a link to that one (Nazi = Right)? I’d like to read the argument. I still can’t believe that people are trying to push that one.

He ends up getting into the gay marriage stuff as well…check out his posting history for the full aneurysm inducing circular logic.

maybe if there was even a shred

of evidence that you’d read the summary memo, and this post pretty much demonstrates that you haven’t, we wouldn’t be laughing in your face.

But there isn’t and we are.

You are falsely equating conservatives with the hate groups referenced in the report.

Brian Hibbert (Diary) Tuesday, April 21st at 4:25PM EST (link)

“The DHS report clearly targets only the subset of conservatives who are right-wing extremists” which is exactly the intent of the report.

I will say this in no uncertain terms.

Nazis, fascists, white supremacists, etc. have NO RELATIONSHIP to conservative ideas.
