Yes, right-wing extremism is as much a legitimate threat as left-wing extremism is.

But “chill out”?

If the report on right-wingers had listed specific organizations, liek the left-wing report did, you might have a point.

If the report on left-wingers had characterized all environmentalists and animal rights supporters as potential recruits, the way the right-wing report characterized veterans, you might have a point.

As it stands, the report was perverted by the Obama administration to serve a role in its neverending political campaign. It deserves all the criticism it gets.
