What a joke! You want to be real sincere? Then resign! Can’t believe this McCarthyism is still going on in America.

She needs to go home and stay home. She has no idea of what she is doing. I can train a monkey to do her job. WHICH IS NOTHING.

another Obama Nazi.
if you are a vet , you are a terrorist.
if you are anti abortion , you are a terrorist.
if you own a firearm , you are a terrorist.
but if you are an illegal or being held at Gitmo,
you are being mistreated by this country.
this Nazi should resign.

Napolitano   April 16th, 2009 - 10:02 am

“But I only apologize to the Veterans.

Anybody, and I mean ANYBODY, who is ’stockpiling’ guns and ammo…

anybody who disagrees with the Obama administration…

anybody who is angry that the international banks have stolen the wealth of this country overnight…

ANYBODY who does not agree with how we handle illegal immigration.

And Let Me Be Clear: ANYBODY who fits into this category, is a right-wing extremist, and a potential TERRORIST who should be FEARED, and should be treated accordingly.

POed Taxpayer   April 16th, 2009 - 10:04 am

Sec. Napolitano I am a citizen AND a VET. come and get me, idiot….

Who would have ever thought that turning government control over to a bunch of left wing extremist would lead to this LMAO

Warn your local government about this.

She sounds/looks pretty butch to me, I’m just saying . . .

Well I’m glad to hear that my Govt. is keeping and eye on these “rightwing extremists” in comparison to Islamofascists who have explicitly stated they want to “do violence against out homeland.”

OFFENDED AMERICANS   April 16th, 2009 - 12:09 pm

What a half-a$$ed apology! And how about all the Americans who are NOT vets who are deeply OFFENDED by your calling them “right-wing extremists” (read TERRORISTS)!? Just because people HATE what’s going on in our country today does NOT make them extremists or terrorists. IT makes them PATRIOTIC AMERICANS! You are a pathetic numbskull who should go back to where you came from and practice potshots at squirrels.

Its really simple people: The 2nd amendment gives you certain specific protections. You toe outside the line of that, well then, are you or are you not breaking the law?

You break the law you go to jail.

I pay my taxes so that government can protect me and my fellow countrymen from enemies of the state.

Which are you? That’s your choice!

Eve S   April 16th, 2009 - 12:40 pm

Interesting that Napolitano used Timothy McVeigh as an example of a returning vet gone bad. I wasn’t aware that any GUNS or military training were used in the Murrah Federal Building bombing. So – the military trains vets how to make FERTILIZER bombs????? She is a liar. The whole DHS report encompasses EVERY conservative republican. I love how the report says over and over again “the perceived problems with…” as if none of the economic and social problems we have in this country are REAL. And more importantly, since when is it against the law to protest through FREE SPEECH in blogs or on the street against the government? Since the fascists have taken control of America, I guess. At one time not so long ago, it was socialists, communists, and fascists who were a danger to our republic. Don’t let DC fool you – they still arel but they are now the ones making these reports. DHS will soon completely equate to KGB.

James M.   April 16th, 2009 - 12:41 pm

The problem is the government doesn’t listen to the people anymore. Return to being a government of the people and things will run much smoother. This bloated cow of a government must be downsized, we and our grandchildren cannot afford it. If I’m an extremist for saying that, then kiss my red white and blue American a$$.

Lynn   April 16th, 2009 - 12:44 pm

She says it was an assessment. I say it was a shot across the bow. Interesting how of all religious groups only ‘Christians’ were singled out. The veterans were not the only one’s who were highlighted in this report.

ShockedInOregon   April 16th, 2009 - 12:47 pm

Apologies are just words…it means nothing. The government’s true feeling is expressed in the DHS Document!

Ryan   April 16th, 2009 - 12:54 pm

I am a Christian, and I am not a terrorist Ms. Napolitano! I do not believe in abortion, yet I am still not a terrorist. Do we still have freedom in this country to have beliefs? Can we still disagree with each other on heated topics? I sure hope so!

anon   April 16th, 2009 - 1:04 pm

The Soviet Union put their returning WW2 veterans in the Gulag.

Sean R.   April 16th, 2009 - 1:16 pm

You know what Janet Fascistano, you should’ve apologized when you send this report a week ago, prior to the Tea Party Rallies (no folks, I didn’t go, because I was too busy with work)! And your ass should’ve been FIRED when you send this nutcase report out to your butt-plug friends in the illiberal left-wing media earlier this week.

Fascistano, you should be ASHAMED of yourself for declaring war on us, your fellow American countrymen and countrywomen who live our ordinary humdrum lives. Afterall Ms. Fascistano, THIS IS STILL AMERICA your living in, this is not Castro’s-Cuba or Chavez’s-Venezula you friggin night-crawler!

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder!!!!

kmichaels   April 16th, 2009 - 1:26 pm

Why do dem presidents have this thing about nominating idiot butch lesbians named Janet to positions that they are never ever capable of handling correctly? If you need to send a man to do a job then why not go for the real thing instead of a man wannabe? We dont need a border fence rider, we need somebody who knows what the border is supposed to be about. We dont need somebody that is as confused as Janet is about what our real concerns are.

kmichaels   April 16th, 2009 - 1:30 pm

For those that trust leftist polls bragging about the great job Obama is doing I have this to say. Grow a brain. Fact is that Obama is not doing a good job. Fact is, Obama is the worst president in US history, bar none. And yes, this means he is worse than that blubbering nut Jimmy Carter. This is not about popularity. It is about reality. And yes, the MSM has done a great job in covering up what reality is about Obama and yes, idiots like disco funk are easily swayed by people that tell him what to believe. But come on folks, only a complete idiot or a completely misinformed person likes what Obama is doing.

James M. April 16th, 2009 – 12:41 pm

“The problem is the government doesn’t listen to the people anymore.”

Err, which people are you refering to?

The majority of American’s that voted Obama into office?

The majority of American’s that approve of the job he’s doing?

Government listed to your vote… and everyone elses. As Obama said: You lost!

Hickok   April 16th, 2009 - 1:52 pm

Biden said before her nomination, “That she’d be good for the job, as she has no family.” Codewords for “She’s a Bulldyke.” Janet Reno redux. If this were a Republican saying this crap, the Libturds would be calling for her head.(No pun intended)

Disco Funk Jihadist   April 16th, 2009 - 2:38 pm

I love all of the “dyke” comments here.

Obviously, the choice of her haircut is very relevant to the job she does here.

WhatAJoke   April 16th, 2009 - 2:41 pm

@Disco Funk Jihadist

Immature comments withstanding she isn’t doing ANY job from what I can see. Other than joining the ranks of “Fear Mongering” and McCarthyism.

russ   April 16th, 2009 - 2:56 pm

Napolitano in charge of homeland security. My on my. Her first act was to release the 25 illegals caught in an INS raid in Washington State. Her second act was to criticize the raid. Her third act was to initiate an investigation of the INS office that conducted the raid. Her fourth act was to forbid any future raids. The INS agents would be wise to lawyer up.

Hickok   April 16th, 2009 - 3:03 pm

Russ,
Very well put. BTW, Oblama said he did not know about this decree of hers. He also said he was unaware of the Tea Parties yesterday. Unaware of a Cabinet member’s hateful decree to law enforcement? Yeah right.

Disco Funk,
Go funk yourself.

Dr Mary Patt Jordan   April 16th, 2009 - 4:03 pm

By any means necessary, those who voted for senator hussein must be prevented from ever voting again.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   April 16th, 2009 - 5:24 pm

DEMOCRATZI WARDEN NAPALITANO!

whatwhatwhat   April 16th, 2009 - 5:35 pm

Right-wingers are laughably stupid. This is George W. Bush’s DHS report.

Mary PaTT, that doesn’t sound constitutional or American. Preventing people from voting because you don’t like who they’ll choose is facist and communist but that is the true face of right-wing conservatism.

hickok   April 16th, 2009 - 5:56 pm

WhatwhatwhatADouchebag,
It was her decree,(Not GWB’s) you twat-faced wanker boy. Not only do you eat sh*t, you think it’s a delicacy.

Muck Fexico II   April 16th, 2009 - 9:45 pm

Who is protecting US from Napolitano??? She is the extremist………..follow the money…..

ChicagBob   April 17th, 2009 - 2:20 pm

What a joke! You want to be real sincere? Then resign! Can’t believe this McCarthyism is still going on in America
I agree SHE and anyone like her NEEDS to go. First terrorists are just misunderstood now this.
RESIGN or get KICKED OUT

ChicagoBob   April 17th, 2009 - 2:37 pm

You hear that double talk? Everyone that is anyone is included in that suspect group. And now you read this.

Dear President Obama,

In 2004, congress introduced legislation called the “End Racial Profiling Act” to stop the offensive discriminatory act of stereotyping ordinary citizens as criminals. The ACLU said this act was “a key step in the fight to ensure that no one in America is subject to law enforcement encounters based on crude bias.” Now, your administration, under Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, has committed the same criminal act against our citizens, denying them equal protection and, instead, holding them under criminal suspicion because they hold a conservative political position. This action taken by your administration is offensive, un-American and has already eroded the trust between citizens, the federal government and law enforcement. It needs to be retracted and the appropriate disciplinary action needs to be taken against those who implemented this federally sanctioned discrimination. I am requesting your prompt attention to this matter.

Regards

Hickok   April 18th, 2009 - 7:34 am

Ms. Napolitano, feeling the heat of this matter, decided for a little R&R this weekend in Florida. She entered a Lesbian Tag Team Alligator Wrestling Contest with none other than Janet Reno. The winning duo gets a four course dinner with Rachel Madcow and Rosie O’Donnell.
