New DOJ Department For Domestic Terrorists Explodes Right-Wing Heads Everywhere



It's about time the feds started paying special attention to the domestic terrorists in this country. After all, domestic terrorists have killed more people since 9-11-2001 than Islamic terrorists have.

This decision by the federal government necessarily requires the right wing to lose their collective minds, which they have done with aplomb.

Earlier this week, the Justice Department announced the creation of a new position for a “domestic terrorism counsel” to fight homegrown extremism, which DOJ national security head John Carlin said could be “motivated by any viewpoint on the full spectrum of hate — anti-government views, racism, bigotry, anarchy and other despicable beliefs” because “when it comes to hate and intolerance, no single ideology governs."

So, naturally, WorldNetDaily reported on the story today with the headline “New Obama Czar Will Hunt ‘Right-Wing’ Extremists” and interviewed a pair of right-wing activists who warned that it is all a plot to “target” and “intimidate” political opponents in the “old Soviet model.”

Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton told WND that the new position will “become the vehicle through which the Justice Department can target those who oppose the Obama agenda,” adding, “If a totalitarian leftist had to write a description for a government operation to suppress his enemies, this would be it.”

They're going to complain regardless, might as well protect the rest of us from the whackos in their midst.

Ironically, pushing back against these traitors is exactly what the well regulated militia was designed to do.

domestic terrorists generally, and proponents of other "despicable beliefs," that means they will be targeting rightvwingers.

If the ugly label fits, wear it. The RW sure does seem to recognize itself in these descriptors.
