re: #167 Charles

Charles, you’re misreading me. I’m saying the language up there suggests that the big leftish movements of which the bad left guys are a “radical element of” are benign. Of course the report doesn’t regard the leftwing criminals as benign — there’d be no report if they did.

What I’m saying is that the report makes no attempt to say that rightwing crazies are just “radical elements of” larger movements that are themselves benign. No, they’re just hateful, antigovernment, etc.

I agree with you that DHS, regardless of who’s running it, tries to be fair.

It isn’t crazy though to see that these two paragraphs treat their subjects differently.
