alpharaposaIt seems the DHS has issued a report warning about possibly violent right-wing extremists who might be getting more numerous and/or violent.
The report (pdf)
A round-up of reactions from various right-wing extremists:
Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion
Michelle Malkin
The American Legion
Powerline
Mark Steyn
Jonah Goldberg
Let me repeat this paragraph from the report, defining "right-wing extremists":
Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.
So, how many potentially violent extremists do we have in the audience?
EDIT: Michelle Malkin's point about the timing of this report's release is well-taken, by the way. Tomorrow, thousands of people will be taking part in Tax Day Tea Parties across the country to protest government spending.
