Right wing extremist large aircraft threaten our lives...

impotent (as if they ever had a chance of being valid anyway).

The main objection from genuine conservatives and libertarians is that
the DHS report defined "right wing extremism" as also including anyone
that is "...mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor
of state or local authority...."

If you're pro-government, well then I can see why you see nothing of
concern. A chasm between views.

Now if you had actually read the DHS report (and clearly you haven't),
you'd know it didn't simply name those that "oppose" their views. It
was Rightwing extremist groups that are hate-oriented towards
religious, racial, or ethnic groups. Perhaps you think that all who
oppose the current administration fit into that category, no?

Ironically one of the statements in the report seems to describe the
liberal and libertarian angst I observed during the Bush II
administration:

"Conspiracy theories involving declarations of martial law, impending
civil strife or racial conflict, suspension of the U.S. Constitution,
and the creation of citizen detention camps often incorporate aspects of
a failed economy."

(Federal and local government influence in the minutia of our lives
appears to me to have grown irrespective of alleged administration
political leanings.)

The report is only 10 pages long and is available here (among other
places):

Sez the wannabe pilot and resident inbred Okie, Maxipad. Or should we call

Yeah dumb ass, that's real relevant. Open your head and let some more ****
run out.

In order to believe you are correct requires that one completely ignore all
past historical precedent and the current climate of right wing extremism
resurgency. 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.

I suppose if you are the type to cherrypick statements, hack them up, then
draw your own ****ed up conclusions (or more precisely allow wingnut pundits
to do so for you), then I can see your concern.

I do find it rather funny when a wingnut pundit (like Michelle Malkin) comes
up with the most off the wall **** imaginable and the wingnuts come out of
the woodwork swearing to the same nonsense as if the garbage they just
parroted out were their own thoughts. It does give testament to the ability
of the puppets to all march in lockstep with each other, but it doesn't say
much for their ability to think outside what they are told.

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.

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.
