Have I mentioned that Janet Napolitano should be seeking a new line of employment? In case I haven’t, she should. Raw Story and The Daily Beast — not exactly two organs of the conservative movement — have uncovered a new document that was put out by the DHS in March. It’s a lexicon of domestic extremism, and it’s no less of a clusterfark than the right-wing extremism report released earlier this month:

The Department of Homeland Security set off a firestorm earlier this month when a memo surfaced that warned of right-wing extremists. The memo, which was issued to law-enforcement officials, suggested that extremists driven to dire straits by the Obama administration could recruit returning veterans to help produce Timothy McVeigh-like terrorism. Now, The Daily Beast has obtained another DHS memo, and this one identifies an even more far-ranging group of “extremists.”

Partisans leapt to decry the first DHS memo as part of a Democratic conspiracy to marginalize right wingers. But it became clear that DHS’s broad descriptions of extremists (“mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority”; “may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration”) were symptomatic of an ongoing agency problem that crossed ideological lines. Indeed, earlier memos surfaced that targeted left-wing extremists with the same uncomfortably vague descriptions. For example, one memo warned that anarchist extremists “embrace a number of radical philosophical components of anticapitalist, antiglobalization, communist, socialist, and other movements.”

The new memo obtained by The Daily Beast locates an even wider-ranging group of extremists among us. You could safely say it crosses liberal and conservative lines: Entries range from Mexican separatists to antiabortion extremists to racial Nordic mysticism. (Islamic groups are specifically excluded from this document.)

Really? Really? We’re worried about racial Nordic mysticism at the same time we’re excluding Islamic extremism? At some point you have to wonder if the editors of The Onion have been put in charge of creating DHS reports. Also mentioned in the report?

• White nationalists
• Black nationalists
• Mexican nationalists
• Puerto Rican nationalists
• Violent religious sects
• Jewish extremism

Do all of these groups have their radical members? Absolutely. But explicitly not mentioned was Islamic extremists — even as Minnesotan Muslims are mysteriously disappearing and coincidentally turning up at suicide bombings in Somalia. But that apparently doesn’t warrant a mention in Janet Napolitano’s lexicon of extremism.

Update: You’ve got to watch out for those opponents of illegal immigration, you do.

(U) anti-immigration extremism: (U//FOUO) A movement of groups or individuals who are vehemently opposed to illegal immigration, particularly along the U.S. southwest border with Mexico, and who have been known to advocate or engage in criminal activity and plot acts of violence and terrorism to advance their extremist goals. They are highly critical of the U.S. Government’s response to illegal immigration and oppose government programs that are designed to extend “rights” to illegal aliens, such as issuing driver’s licenses or national identification cards and providing in-state tuition, medical benefits, or public education.

Which is funny, considering that even many Democrats oppose giving drivers licenses to illegal aliens, including Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT). Does Mrs. Napolitano consider the senator from Connecticut an “anti-immigration extremi(st)”?
