So a 9 page report warning of right wing extremist attacking within America was inappropriate? Was it as inappropriate as the April, 2001 warning that Bin Laden was plotting an attack against the US, using airplanes as missiles?
The right wing has labeled everyone from Keith Olberman to President Obama as a “Radical” which to me has made the word loose much of its meaning. When is used only to stoke the calls of baseless rhetoric for political gain, I think it is rendered impotent.
Liberal News Flash Quill: We do have radical right wing extremist.
Or are you convinced that calling the man who killed 3 police officers in Pennsylvania, because he was afraid they would take his guns, a (radical) inappropriate? Was the long time abortion opponent killing a doctor while he was ushering at his church on the Sabbath, not fair because he was standing up for what he believes in?
In this day and age we need to come together as a country, focus on our common threats and make the world a better place by continuing to be the great hope of the free world. Enough with this labeling of left and right, liberal or conservative, republican or democrat; Lets be Americans who come together to call out real extremist and stop trivializing serious subjects by over stating and mislabeling.

For starters, it didn’t call all pro-lifers “extremists.” It says, and I’m quoting the full context here, Glenn Beck, not just one line:
“Paralleling the current national climate, rightwing extremists during the 1990s exploited a variety of social issues and political themes to increase group visibility and recruit new members. Prominent among these themes were the militia movement’s opposition to gun control efforts, criticism of free trade agreements (particularly those with Mexico), and highlighting perceived government infringement on civil liberties as
well as white supremacists’ longstanding exploitation of social issues such as abortion, inter-racial crimes, and same-sex marriage. During the 1990s, these issues contributed to the growth in the number of domestic rightwing terrorist and extremist groups and an
increase in violent acts targeting government facilities, law enforcement officers, banks,
and infrastructure sectors.”

That does not sound like most of the Republicans, or any of the pro-lifers that I know. It even says these extremists attempt to “exploit” social issues like abortion to recruit for their cause. It doesn’t brand pro-lifers as terrorists.

The document goes on to describe the extremists as possibly disgruntled ex-military, and/or neo-nazis, and/or anti-government individuals (a la the uni-bomber). It gives specific examples including recent attacks on police, and the Oklahoma city bombings. As far as I know, you guys are against that kind of violence.

I seriously doubt that George, Thomas, and the boys would identify themselves with this group of people. And while y’all conservatives might be pissed about some of the changes made by the new administration, I doubt that you’re preparing to oust the federal government through terrorist means.

You had your tea parties, but other than a few Whopper wrappers left in front of the Capitol, there was no great pollution, no great statement beyond what can be made through civilized protest. You want a real revolution? Get ready to overthrow the government in ‘10 and ‘12. There’s your chance. In the meantime, stop willingly including yourselves in the same category as evil, violent, aforementioned extremists. And quit getting all worked up about that which does not apply to you.

Honestly, it makes me sick to hear it from both sides. Really, it makes me physically ill.
