Do you remember that incredibly ideological and disturbing Department of Homeland Security report that demonized “rightwing” people and groups as “extremists”?
Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and
adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups),
and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.
As a pro-lifer who is opposed to illegal immigration, I found out that Obama regarded me as a double-whammy rightwing extremist.
And another passage in the DHS “rightwing extremist” report made sure to note that Americans should fear returning combat veterans:
The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.
How would it strike you if you were to learn that this incredibly ideological and demagogic document had been prepared in part by a man who was destined to perpetrate the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11? And that the target of this man’s terrorist attack would be the very American soldiers he had demonized in his report?
Discovered via AtlasShrugs:
Political correctness is going to rout this country. The jihadi who mowed down scores at Fort Hood was an adviser to the Homeland Security Policy Institute’s presidential transition task force. This was at the same time that the DHS was writing reports that right wing extremists like Grandma, Veterans, tea parties, patriots were the real threat. And Hasan had a jihad history.
Enemy in the White House.
Of course. Why not? He was a “moderate.” Until he wasn’t.
“Nidal Hasan: Ft. Hood Shooter Participated in Homeland Security Disaster Preparation,” from Gawker, November 6 (thanks to Mary Belle):
The gunman who killed 12 people today at Ft. Hood appears, based on current media reports, to be Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan who was listed as a participant in a Homeland Security Policy Institute’s presidential transition task force last year.
The task force was not officially affiliated with the White House. It was a project of the Homeland Security Policy Institute, an independent thinktank housed at George Washington University, aimed at drafting policy recommendations for the incoming Obama administration.
According to the task force’s May 2009 report [pdf], a “Nidal Hasan” from the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine was a task force event participant. Other participants included Senate and House staffers, Department of Homeland Security officials, Defense Department officials, and reporters for Politico, the Washington Post, and the London Times….
So, to understand, Barack Obama, who displayed such bizarre and disturbing behavior at his first appearance following the terrorist attack at Fort Hood which left 13 dead and dozens wounded, actually appointed for his DHS panel on “rightwing extremism” A GUY WHO WAS ABOUT TO BE AN “ALLAH AKBAR!” SHOUTING MUSLIM TERRORIST.
This is beyond belief, but there it is.
Chalk it up as just one more amazing radical that Barack Obama has given a forum to in order to undermine America.

Bizarro! Staggers the mind. Obama and his co-horts are consistent and predictable at this point.

I don’t know. I know what you’re talking about, HL, but sometimes I feel like I go from feeling like everything they do is predictable to being completely surprised by just how despicable they are.
Churchill understood the Nazis. And his comprehension made him both powerful and great. I think I still don’t quite understand the mind of the liberal. There always seem to be pockets of deviousness and vileness that I just didn’t comprehend.
This deal where Obama drafted a future terrorist to help demonize the right is somehow ironically fitting.
