Janet Napolitano is one wacky dame (UPDATED)

(UPDATE #1:)With respect to our original Homeland Security’s Right-wing extremist report post below, anon commented:

Dean, your the man, but ya gotta take stuff like this seriously. Its more than justs words, its a trend

We stand by our incredulous by a half sarcastic pitch because we still don’t know what to make of that report… and that’s what bothers us.

The right-wing blogosphere got itself worked into a righteous lather over the report claiming that the government was, once again, targeting those who dared dissent with the policies being generated from the puzzle palace in D.C. Holy smokes….it was 1995 and black helicopters, Ruby Ridge and Waco all over again. And it did smack of “when our guy is in power it’s all good, but when the others’ guy is in power then, watch out!”. But our right-wing homies would be perfectly correct in their assessment…. if that document were to be taken seriously.

That is because beyond who is or isn’t being watched or targeted, what is troubling is that this “assessment” fully appears to be the product of a prank contest at Homeland on who can come up with the most blatantly over-the-top spoof of what to watch for in right-wing extremists.

It is a contradictory and haphazardly thrown together document which despite its title lacks cites of actual threats and yet is so repetitive in nature and which still managed to single out people who are opposed to abortion or are in favor of states rights as potential “right-wing extremists”.

That someone charged with our security sat down and put pen to paper and same paper was set upon what we no doubt assume was an exhaustive chop cycle and which was finally signed off for release…. that not one single person in that entire chain had the awareness and common sense to say “What in god’s name is this is this piece of crap I am reading?” - that’s what bothers us.

Hillary Clinton’s botched red button gag with the Russians is the perfect illustration of this mindset and standard operating procedure.

Its not the dark night of fascism descending over America, it’s an un-seriousness, buffoonery and general incompetence.

And people wonder why guns and ammo are flying off the shelf.

P.S. Do you know who is taking this "threat" very seriously? (the "right-wing extremist" threat, not the Hillary Clinton threat) MSNBC is, that's who.

(here endeth the update)


We’ve thought long and hard about this Homeland Security assessment that has gone out to law enforcement agencies around the country warning of the possible rise of (cue scary voice) “right-wing extremist” groups because of a combination of a bad economy and, you know, that black feller living in the Oval Office.

Actually, we haven’t. One read through it and after counting in this 10 page memo the term, (cue scary voice) “right-wing extremist” 36 times, we found it to be one of the most amateurish things we have ever read replete with the most tired “right-wing” stereotypes that exist and the de rigeur “watch out for those rage-filled vets returning from war” meme.

It’s obviously a joke that went a little too far and accidentally slipped out or a clumsily orchestrated plan circa mid-90s to smoke-out the kooks.

Honestly, what serious-minded government agency charged with protecting its citizens would title a report as a statement: Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment…. and then in the 2nd paragraph under Key Findings, completely back off that statement: "The DHS/Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) has no specific information that domestic rightwing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence…”

(italics, ours)

See? There just testing you. And that J-No... what a card?

The way this thing is written is just begging for a reaction. Don’t fall for it, homies. It’s a setup – a trap.

Forget Reefer Madness its….. Right-wing Madness!!!
Mmmmmwwwwwaaaaaahaaahaaaaahaaaaahaaa..........
