The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

Just to make sure people are aware, but the Homeland Security report talking about Right Wing Extremists (which so many conservatives seem to have decided targets them personally) is part of an ongoing series of reports by Homeland Security on the threats from various extremist groups.

It had nothing to do with Obama (which very well may be why it uses words differently than the Obama preferred spin machine). Also, they were produced under the supervision of Bush appointees.

Here is the Rightwing Extremism report in the news now (as hosted by WorldNetDaily to make you comfortable or not depending on your view).
Here is the Leftwing Extremists report from earlier this year (as hosted by FoxNews to make you comfortable or not depending on your view).

I'm sure there are things that can be used to drive outrage in either report. But at least now we have no excuse for not having read them before getting outraged.
