At no point have I argued the state of right wing extremism. The issue is
in the quality of the DHS report on that subject. If there are concrete
data buried in that report that authorities could actually act upon to
thwart terrorist acts from right wing wingnuts, it would be useful to point
them out.

Considering you seem to prefer using
revisionist historian Michelle Malkin as your source of information, I
really can't say as I'm all that surprised.

Huh? Are you claiming Malkin authored the report, not DHS? I used the
Malkin URL directly to the PDF only because my Google search yielded it
first. It is not necessary to read the material authored by Malkin. I don't
know anything about the person. Sorry if my selection offended you.

For balance, here's the DHS report I found on left wing extremists:

http://www.fas.org/irp/eprint/leftwing.pdf

It actually names groups, attack techniques, and profiles of potential
targets (useful for predicting where future attacks will occur). Those are
points of information that authorities could use to act on that were
missing or glossed over in the right wing extremist report.

The interesting thing I found about the DHS left wing extremist report is
that it defines anarchists as extreme left. A few decades ago I recall
seeing some people place anarchists on the extreme right.
