Can you point me to where is states that people that do or believe in these things are right wing extremists? I read that report a couple of times and I must have missed that.
(U) Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and
adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups),
and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or
rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a
single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.
This is a report commissioned by Bush and started by the Bush DHS.
Once again, can you point me to where in the report it states this? Persecution complex, much?
Proposed imposition of firearms restrictions and weapons bans
likely would attract new members into the ranks of rightwing extremist groups,
as well as potentially spur some of them to begin planning and training for
violence against the government. The high volume of purchases and
stockpiling of weapons and ammunition by rightwing extremists in anticipation
of restrictions and bans in some parts of the country continue to be a primary
concern to law enforcement.
Are you sure the part that you quoted is the part you wanted to use? Because it doesn't say that people that are anti-abortion, are stockpiling ammunition, buting guns, or support gun rights are right wing extremists.That would be here:
So it's Bush's fault? Wasn't if Obama's DHS that released it? You should read the report on left wing extremism that the Bush administration released. It doesn't look anything like this. It's far more specific.

According to those statistics, there hasn't been anti-abortion related murder in over a decade.
There have been seven victims of anti-abortion violence. If you lump the death threats in with crimes of violence, there's been something of around five hundred. In order to come up with the "thousands" number, you have to lump the property crimes in with the violent crimes. You know what they say about lies and statistics though.
I hate people that commit violence against abortion clinics because it just gives the anti-abortion people more ammunition to use, but to lump everything from misdemeanors with a small fine where the police might not even arrest the person to someone going on a shooting spree in together in the interest of making abortion people appear as victims, I think is rather counter productive, especially when your statistics fail to outline how many of the crimes are committed with the purpose of shutting the abortion clinics down.
To be frank though, I don't have a lot of sympathy for a doctor (first do no harm) that kills babies for a living getting shot.
Compare that to the fact that there has (to my knowledge) never been anyone killed by ALF... and yet how many of you protested when the Department of Homeland security was "focusing" on them?
It certainly implies that they could be, though, doesn't it?
Well, they have been known to do things like burn down buildings and they're easy to pin down.
It's hard to pin down the loaner wackos that kidnap abortion doctors.
What does being eiser to pin down have to do with anything... an Al Quada cell in the US is/would be harder to pin down than either group. You seemed rather dismissive of property crimes when it was the Pro-Life terrorists... you can't have it both ways.
I'm sure you can provide some statistics to back up that, things like the vandalism were all committed by pro-life terrorists.
