Rise of Right-Wing Extremism Linked to Recession

[MAVA]

JUAN GONZALEZ: Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is facing calls for her ouster from a number of House Republicans in the wake of a department memo that warned of right-wing political extremism in the United States.

The report, which was released last week, warns that right-wing extremist groups are gaining new recruits by exploiting fears about the economy and the election of the nation’s first black president. The report predicts a worsening economy will to lead more people joining militias and skinhead groups and carrying out individual acts modeled after Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.

A handful of Republicans in the House are calling for Napolitano to step down in the wake of the report. House Minority Leader John Boehner said the report includes, quote, “about two-thirds of Americans who might go to church, who may have served in the military, who may be involved in community activities…I just don’t understand how our government can look at the American people and say, ‘You’re all potential terrorist threats.’”

Idaho has long been the center of white supremacist groups in the United States.

The hypocrisy? You don't seem to understand the situation.

Especially when the left are known for redundant violence when it comes to protest or objection.

Anyone remember the RNC Welcoming Committee?

Shit, some psycho nut assaulted Tom Tancrado last week when he was speaking on immigration.

Yet the folks who oppose the socialist take over are "terrorists?" ... Of course this is coming from the same party that claimed Bush was using "scare tactics to fight terrorism" and this is after 9/11...

Its totally insane!
