The DHS report, on second thought
Looks like Napolitano was right with her second response, we actually WERE the intended victims of extremists.
Meanwhile, certain “anti-jihad” blog(s) continue to use the abortion doctor killing as proof that right wing extremists exist in great numbers, and thus the report was empirically neccessary, while devoting a whole 2 paragraphs to jihadi violence here.
These aren’t the extremists you are looking for. You can go about your bitness.

As far as I know Scott Philip Roeder had no military background, someone can check this out better than I?
Nobody would deny there are right wing extremists. That wasn’t the point of the whole DHS flap. The DHS flap, to my knowledge, had mroe to do with the idea that military veterans were somehow more likely to be involved in domestic terror with right wing hate groups…which has not proven to be the case yet.
Roeder crime was heinous, just as the Arkansas shootings were heinous. Both people were wrong, regardless of idiology. To justify one and vilify the other is absurd. Call both for what they are. Be honest about the backgrounds and motivations…if someone received their indoctrination to kill civilians in a militia? Look into that. If they received their jihadist training in Yemen? You might want to look into that too.
Reportedly when Sec Napolitano got the news of a shooting at a military recruiting center, she said “See? I knew those veterans were a terrorist risk!”
