Most everyone knows about The Department of Homeland Security's report warning about "Rightwing Extremism". This report was distributed to federal, state and local law enforcement officials, on 4-7-09. MSM is starting to cover this.

The Washington Times is writing:

Napolitano stands by controversial report

The Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement officials about a rise in "rightwing extremist activity," saying the economic recession, the election of America's first black president and the return of a few disgruntled war veterans could swell the ranks of white-power militias.

A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines "rightwing extremism in the United States" as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.

Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment

World Net Daily is outraged:

Bipartisan team stunned by 'extremism' allegations
'Veterans, families should not be viewed as a threat'

... Savage teamed up with the Thomas More Law Center of Ann Arbor, Mich., to file a lawsuit against Napolitano over the report. 

"It is a civil rights action brought under the First and Fifth Amendments to the United States Constitution, challenging the policy, practice, and custom of the United States Government that targets for disfavored treatment those individuals and groups that are considered to be 'rightwing extremists,'" the complaint said.

According to the federal government, characteristics of members of the suspect group of people include those who:

Oppose restrictions on firearms

Oppose lax immigration

Oppose the policies of President Obama regarding immigration, citizenship and the expansion of social programs

Oppose continuation of free trade agreements

Oppose same-sex marriage

Has paraonia of foreign regimes

Fear Communist regimes

Oppose one world government

Bemoan the decline of U.S. stature in the world

Is upset with the loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs to China and India

The case seeks a declaration that the DHS policy violates the First and Fifth Amendments, a court order permanently enjoining the policy and its application to the plaintiffs' speech and other activities, and the award of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

U.S. News & World Report, Peter Roff reports:

The New McCarthyism: DHS Reports on Right-Wing Extremism 

... The report needs to be recalled, the person who oversaw its production reassigned or fired and the total amount of money spent on the project--from staff time to production costs to the postage used to mail it--needs to be returned to the U.S. Treasury out of the budget of the Office of the Secretary of Homeland Security. As we have been told time and again, it is no small matter when the U.S. government, as an official matter, questions someone's loyalty. The consequences for this catastrophic misuse of taxpayer dollars needs to be severe for all those involved. ...
