I guess we're all "Terrorists" now.

From Cagle Cartoons

Michelle Malkin wrote a great article about this , here's an excerpt;

In Obama land there are no coincidences. It is no coincidence that this report echoes Tea Party-bashing left-wing blogs (check this one out comparing the Tea Party movement to the Weather Underground!) and demonizes the very Americans who will be protesting in the thousands on Wednesday for the nationwide Tax Day Tea Party.

At RLC.org Dave Nalle writes about the recent Homeland Security Report:
I worry because this document is just a starting point for a much wider exploration of the idea that the right wing is a haven for terrorists. It is the unfortunate but perhaps inevitable outcome of the security measures taken after 9/11, where the legitimate need to monitor real threats begins to come under the sway of politics. The report concludes by declaring that:

“DHS/I&A will be working with its state and local partners over the next several months to ascertain with greater regional specificity the rise in right wing extremist activity in the United States, with a particular emphasis on the political, economic, and social factors that drive right wing extremist radicalization.”

This is a frighteningly broad mandate. The biggest factor driving “right wing extremist radicalization” could very well be the activity of government in stigmatizing the political right, classing them as extremists and terrorists and launching partisan investigations of anyone who speaks out against the current administration and its policies.

When our government starts labeling discontent and disenfranchised citizens as radicals and extremists simply because the bureaucrats disagree with their political beliefs, it is the first step towards driving them to become what they are unfairly accused of being.
