Charles,
“…distorted stories…” Really? DID YOU READ THE DHS DOCUMENT? It’s impossible to take it out of context.
The following are excerpts:
(U//LES) “Rightwing extremists are harnessing this historical election as a recruitment tool. Many rightwing extremists are antagonistic toward the new presidential administration and its perceived stance on a range of issues, including immigration and citizenship, the expansion of social programs to minorities, and restrictions on firearms ownership and use. Rightwing extremists are increasingly galvanized by these concerns and leverage them as drivers for recruitment. From the 2008 election timeframe to the present, rightwing extremists have capitalized on related racial and political prejudices in expanded propaganda campaigns, thereby reaching out to a wider audience of potential sympathizers.”
Didja get that? If you have problems with Obama’s tax/spend/bailout, and his pusillanimous foreign policy (pandering to America’s enemies), then you’re a “racist”.
.

I’m going to agree that if specific organization descriptors are not given, that’s a failing, but the fact is, crazies, real flat-out crazies, are in fact doing just that, and they’re not organizing tax protests, they’re talking about race war and blowing shit up. These people are out there, have been for a long time, and law enforcement keeps an eye on them.

The point is not that anyone who dislikes the Obama administration is a threat. The point is that the people who are threats are capitalizing on the Obama administration.

If you think I’m in denial, ok. THat’s my take on it for now.
