Charles “Nancy I see Nazis” Johnson continues his appeasement of the Left. His newest attack is on Bloggers who alarmed over the new DHS report. The DHS report says “Rightwing” groups are a growing danger. Many Conservatives, Libertarians and Populists are alarmed over this. Rightwing is a very broad term, so vigilance is needed. The timing of the report is also suspicious since many Conservative/Libertarian groups are organizing Tea Parties around the country tomorrow. However Charles downplays the report and attacks Hotair for mentioning this!
About That DHS Report on Right-Wing Extremism
Here we go again.
The latest cause for hyperventilation in the right-wing blogosphere is a report from the Department of Homeland Security on the need for vigilance against extreme right-wing groups like Posse Comitatus, militias, “Patriot” groups, and neo-Nazis like the Christian Identity weirdos. Some bloggers, prompted by World Net Daily, are reading this as an attempt to “smear half of the country or more as kooks for criticizing the government’s handling of the economy.”
That’s ludicrous. First, this DHS assessment was begun more than a year ago, before Barack Obama was even nominated. It has absolutely nothing to do with “tea parties,” and it was not done at the behest of the Obama administration.
Second, I’m seeing it brought up repeatedly that the report contains a reference to veterans, mentioning that some of these groups are seeking to recruit them. This is nothing more than a fact, and the report even says that only a tiny number of veterans would join such groups — but that their talents could bring a great deal of capability to the extremists. Has everyone simply forgotten that Timothy McVeigh was a veteran?
The DHS report is not intended to target anyone but the most extreme elements of the far right, and it’s depressing to see so many bloggers jumping to totally unwarranted conclusions.

Charles is doing everything possible to attack the Right now. He even says that Nazis are infiltrating the Tea Parties!

It’s a fact that neo-Nazi groups ARE trying to infiltrate the “tea parties,” by the way.
Those Nazis are everywhere in the mind of Charles “Nancy” Johnson. Talk about Paranoia, he see Nazis and Fascist at work behind everything. Why doesn’t he expose Communists or Islamists anymore. He obviously is with the Leftists-Islamic alliance. So now Hot Air is thrown under the bus. Chuckles and his cult love enemies.
