It is, in fact, silliness incarnate! Any intelligent reader of the document will see that it does not point the finger at any and all persons on the right wing side of issues. It repeatedly makes reference to right wing EXTREMISTS and TERRORISTS, i.e. to those groups that might be involved in future violent activity, and it qualifies and clarifies the matter throughout in the manner by which it describes the groups that are identified. For example:
"rightwing extremist activity, specifically the white supremacist and militia movements."
"white supremacist lone wolves"
"large numbersof potentially violent neo-Nazis, skinheads, and other white supremacists"
"Many rightwing extremist groups perceive recent gun control legislation as a
threat to their right to bear arms and in response have increased weapons and ammunition
stockpiling, as well as renewed participation in paramilitary training exercises."
"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."
"domestic rightwing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence,
but rightwing extremists may be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about
several emergent issues."
So--If you ARE an extremist or a terrorist, this report might be referring to you, but if you merely hold conservative views, then it does not. That is plain for all to see, except the terminally dense!
Shame on the opportunistic seizure of this report in a deranged effort to mischaracterize it as some kind of condemnation of anyone or everyone with conservative views! It simply is NOT that.
