PDB: Rightwing Extremists Determined to Attack in the United States

President Barack Obama states that he is "...shocked and saddened by today's shooting at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum."

Maybe he should read the Moonie Times:
The Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement officials about a rise in "rightwing extremist activity," saying the economic recession, the election of America's first black president and the return of a few disgruntled war veterans could swell the ranks of white-power militias.

A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines "rightwing extremism in the United States" as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.

"It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration," the warning says.
Shocked? Saddened, yes, but shocked? I blame the liberals. They get folks all antsy. Agitated, even.

p.s. Tonight I will light a candle for the slain guard, Stephen Tyrone Johns, who died doing his job. Peace unto him and his family and friends.

UPDATE: WaPo looks at the suspected killer's history of poverty and extreme hatred. At the end of the article an individual named John de Nugent, a self-described white separatist, was quoted as stating the following:
"The responsible white separatist community condemns this," he said. "It makes us look bad."
I have no idea what mirrors are for anymore.
