Where was the conservative outrage when DHS reported on left wing extremists?

In January, Homeland Security issued a report on the threat from left wing extremists.

Why did the American right not whine then? Is it because they actually support radical right terrorism?

Update:

To the gubmint: there are a number of conservatives who are acting as if the DHS report on right wing extremists is a massive conspiracy against them.

You are right, extremists, left or right, should be monitored by law enforcement.

    No where. The Right act as if their nuts aren't dangerous. Extremists are always a concern.

    I just read your Left wing extremists report, I found the two reports to be at completely different threat levels. One the Right Wing report indicates that the RIght Wing will be prone to violence and Left Wing will use cyberspace to attack business or the government computers. One kills people the other upsets the IT department and/or makes money for Bill Gates and Microsoft, Norton Anti Virus and others.

    More Importantly it claims VETERANs of which I'm one will become part of these movement. They source Timmy Mcveigh( a fukkn nut job) as a Domestic terrorist (which he was) but President Clinton and Attorney General Janet Reno treated the Oklahoma City bombing as a Criminal activity. Now it is Domestic terrorism, oh wait the RIght has been calling it that since it happened.

    DHS labels Right Wing people that are angry at the government as extremists. Well I'm angry so I'm now a "potential terrorist". Potentail terrorists go on "Watch List" "Travel Restriction List". This is a clear move to label anyone who speaks out against Obama as a radical, racist, terrorist and to silence any opositon to the democrats "New Government".

    The Clintons, Janet Reno and the Democrats who praise them have proven to the world who they think the domestic threats are. Churches and ex-Gun dealers. who's next? It is clear Military Veterans, Business owners (Gun Shops) are now a threat to them along with little old ladies out front of an abortion clinic, people of faith any faith including pagans.

    You say:

    You are right, extremists, left or right, should be monitored by law enforcement

    I say NO. This is the beginning of a "Police State". Criminal entinties should be infiltated and taken down for criminal activities. These Criminal entinties are "Known", Neo-Nazis skinheads and Militia but if you read the Constitution's Bill of Rights 2nd Amendment If you own a firearm you are a part of the nations Militia.

    I'm a little confused. Why would you expect conservatives to be outraged about that?

    And, oddly enough, I don't recall any outrage over a report about possible terrorist threats from right wing extremists either.

    It may just be me, being the conservative type and all, but I don't really mind when a security agency analyzes possible terrorist threats from either extreme.

    Edit: Have you read both reports? There is a distinct difference between the two. The one you linked describes current and active threats based on factual evidence and incidents. The one that addresses the right wing "threats" relies almost entirely on conjecture and historical incidents from the 90s.

    Look at both of them objectively and tell me which one is the most current and factual.

    What makes the version, Left or appropriate, it takes 2 wings to fly. appropriate now, i do no longer believe a returning Soldier Hero ought to have a cloud forged over their sacrifice. "we are gonna watch you, you will possibly develop right into a properly knowledgeable terrorist." i'm deeply saddened the HALS Sec of america stumbled on it mandatory to place in writing such words. Is she attempting to make those brave people experience like those forgotten souls getting back from Vietnam? I for one will by no skill, by no skill, enable that take place back. Is she proving she has no journey in actual protection? became into that a thinly veiled threat to maintain voters from attending the Tea events, lest they be seen interior the team and positioned on some "watch record"? What interior the worldwide is going on with this administration? She has gained 0 votes with each and every individual i understand yet of direction, we did no longer decide for her did we? somebody appointed her and that somebody made a da**ed undesirable selection, for my area.

    They arrested the reporter for Democracy Now!

    Yes, that too was fascist, arresting a journalist. Your problem is you still see things in black and white Republican-Democrat. I got news for you, they are the same. Who supported the bail outs-Obama or McCain? Trick question, they both did!

    A real American is an independent, because both parties are nut jobs.
