Wingnuts

Good Job, Senators

From a letter to Janet Napolitano (link goes to Malkin's site) signed by Senators Coburn, Brownback, DeMint, Burr, Murkowski, Inhofe, and Vitter, griping about the DHS Right Wing Extremist report:

First, your report states that “Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to rightwing extremists…” without listing any data to support such a vile claim against our nation’s veterans.

Second, the report states that the millions of Americans who believe in the Second Amendment are a potential threat to our national security. Why? Do you have statistics to prove that law-abiding Americans who purchase a legal product are being recruited by so-called hate groups?

Thirdly, the report states that those that believe in issues such as pro-life legislation, limited government, and legal versus illegal immigration are potential terrorist threats. We can assure you that these beliefs are held by citizens of all races, party affiliation, male and female, and should not be listed as a factor in determining potential terror threats. A better word usage would be to describe them as practicing their First Amendment rights.

Von Brunn is a veteran. Von Brunn is a fierce advocate for gun ownership. Von Brunn is insanely anti-immigration -- calling it a "low IQ invasion" of America. And, of course, Scott Roeder is an anti-choice terrorist.

And the link above takes you to Malkin's site where she referred to the report as a "DHS conservative hit job."

Adding... John Amato compiled a series of videos of various FNC and talk radio wingnuts denouncing the DHS report.
