As Morrissey says on HA, perhaps better than I could:

“A few say that the DHS has to track threats and give these kinds of assessments. Read the report again. DHS can’t find any threats, nor do they provide even a hint that they have any evidence that extremism on the Right has increased. They don’t claim to see increases in fringe-group memberships from last year, or even last decade. This report is filled with nothing but completely unsupported conjecture about what might happen if people get upset about the economy or a retreat on American sovereignty. It’s not an honest national-security threat assessment at all. It’s a political hit piece aimed at this administration’s critics in order to cast them as extremists.”

The documents to compare it against are similar threat assessments over the last eight years. We’ve had many incidents of eco-terrorism, but there are no documents casting suspicion on environmentalism in general. And wouldn’t there have been a howl if President Bush did issue such a document?

I may lack firearms, and I’m not a conspiracist or militia member, but according to this report (which I *have* read), I definitely fit the profile of a right wing extremist. I guess I’ll have to wear that badge with pride.
