Remember back in 2009 when Homeland Security released a document about an upswing in "Right Wing Extremism," and far-right conservatives went crazy all over the place as if the Obama administration was targeting people like Limbaugh, Malkin and Hannity. Of course that's ridiculous, and in the process of mocking the document, they also laughed off the idea that there really are domestic right-wing terrorist groups. (It turned out, the Bush administration DHS conducted the study and it was released under the Obama administration.)
Anyway, Homeland Security was exactly correct.
