A few notes on the DHS report:

1. There are crazies out there. Both on the left (as seen in a previous report), and on the right (as this report covers).
2. It’s sloppy, IMHO. It fails to mention exact groups like the left-wing report a few years ago. Almost as it if needed a bit more finishing.
3. The leak timing is strange, and it has a Rahm-esque feel to it. We may know more about the leak as it is investigated.
4. The report is nothing to go nuts over. It is print and paper, and it is nothing more. Let us save our outrage and vitriol for if the administration makes a move on health care.

It is good that Charles is being cautious about it. He was cautious about the birth certificate issue, and he was right to be cautious. Many of the same who are getting worked up over the report are those who got in bed with the ‘Nirthers earlier.
