Department of Homeland Security warns

. . . in a new report about:

Islamo fascists? Nope.

Somalian pirates? Nope.

Chinese web hackers? Nope.

Anarchists? Nope.

Their new report warns about a rise in "right wing extremist activity".

Here is their definition of right wing extremism:
"right wing extremism in the United States" as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.

Wow. When did the DHS become so political. Most people I know would prefer state or local authority over federal when it comes down to it.

Even the white house backed away from this one. The DHS could at least also warn about left wing extremists such as PETA, Greenpeace, etc in order to appear more neutral.
