The assessment reads like a sophomore’s bad political science essay in, for example, noting that right-wing extremism “may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.”

“This is an very unfortunately named document,” Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Sara Kudon told me.

No lie.

The not-quite-classified but-also-not-meant-for-public-distribution assessment reads like a rookie mistake penned by political lightweights. But Kudan told me it was written by “career officials,” who had been working on the assessment for more than a year. (Read: DHS started working on this when George W. Bush was in charge.) That career officials would write such tripe should scare you.

Fox News posted a Jan. 26, 2009, assessment entitled, “Left-wing Extremists Likely to Increase Use of Cyber-Attacks Over the Coming Decade.” This would suggest equal-opportunity political targeting. Not so. The “left-wing” assessment named entities - the Earth Liberation Front, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty, The Hacktivist, the Internet Liberation Front - and explained the methods used in specific and recent cyber-attacks. It also warned how specific groups - loggers, farmers and named corporations - were or could be targeted. That is, the “left-wing” assessment included information that would be useful to officials investigating crimes.

The “right-wing” document, however, targeted not activities, but political thought - opposition to abortion, immigration amnesty and gun laws. While the “left-wing” assessment reported on known criminal activities, the “right-wing” document started with the acknowledgment that Department of Homeland Security intelligence “has no specific information that domestic right-wing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence.”Source: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2009/04/15/ED5I1727J0.DTL

This, my fellow Americans, means that within the eyes of the Obama Administration you are a possible terrorist if you are pro-life, pro-second amendment (which means pro-constitution), for a secure border, or returning as a veteran from the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan.  Are there any facts behind this assessment? No.  It is completely made up.  This is big-brother at best, treason at worst.  This is unacceptable from our government.  This is not change we can beleive in, this is just stupid. What’s next, will church goers be named terrorists because they believe in God?
