Right-Wing Terror Movements Omitted from DHS Terrorist List
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) does not list right-wing domestic terrorists and terrorist groups on a document that appears to be an internal list of threats to the nation’s security.

According to the list — part of a draft planning document obtained by CQ Homeland Security — between now and 2011 DHS expects to contend primarily with adversaries such as al Qaeda and other foreign entities affiliated with the Islamic Jihad movement, as well as domestic radical Islamist groups.

It also lists left-wing domestic groups, such as the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) and the Earth Liberation Front (ELF), as terrorist threats, but it does not mention anti-government groups, white supremacists and other radical right-wing movements, which have staged numerous terrorist attacks that have killed scores of Americans. Recent attacks on cars, businesses and property in Virginia, Oregon and California have been attributed to ELF.

DHS did not respond to repeated requests for comment or confirmation of the document’s authenticity.

2. Prolly 'cause there are 23X more incidents of domestic terror,....
,...which, of course, are generated by right-wing extremists.

Doesn't surprise me, at all.

We have right-wingers basically controlling our country.

Moreover, I sincerely believe that ELF and ALF are nearly fictional and certainly exaggerated (by the "powers that be").

Ya' know what I mean? :bounce:

a few men with box cutters were "terrorists" whilst these people are simply wayward amurkans. How frikking skewed is that? Oh wait a minute... they are white.... nevermind.
