You might be a radicalized rightwing extremist if…
…if you are heading out to a Tea Party today!
Here’s my syndicated column on the DHS hit job. A few may be inclined to give DHS the benefit of the doubt. Andrew McCarthy reminds you of the many reasons why you should not.

You might be a “radicalized rightwing extremist” if…

What and who exactly are President Obama’s homeland security officials afraid of these days? If you are a member of an active conservative group that opposes abortion, favors strict immigration enforcement, lobbies to protect Second Amendment rights, protests big government, advocates federalism, or represents veterans who believe in any of the above, the answer is: You.
DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano has turned her attention away from acts of Islamic jihad on American soil (which she now refers to as “man-caused disasters”). Instead, her department is sounding the alarm over an un-quantified “resurgence” in “rightwing extremism activity.” On April 7, DHS sent a nine-page warning memo to law enforcement offices across the country titled “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment.”
The report includes a sweeping definition of the threat:
“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.”
You cannot ignore the context or the timing of this DHS report. It’s no small coincidence that Napolitano’s agency disseminated the assessment just a week before the nationwide April 15 Tax Day Tea Party protests. The grass-roots events organized by fiscal conservatives, independents, Libertarians, and yes, even some blue Dog Democrats were fueled by the “current economic and political climate” of bipartisan profligate spending and endless taxpayer-funded bailouts. The growing success of the loose-knit movement has invited scorn, ridicule, and fear-mongering from Obama’s supporters. Liberal bloggers have likened the Tea Party movement to neo-Nazis, militias, and even Weather Underground terrorists.
These attempts to demonize the Tea Party movement come on the heels of widespread conservative-bashing over the recent shooting sprees in Pittsburgh and Binghamton, New York. Taking Hillary Clinton’s advice to “never waste a good crisis,” left-wing pundits and analysts have blamed the tragedies on everyone from Rush Limbaugh to Fox News to the NRA.
The DHS spokespeople I talked to on Monday insisted that the report was not a politicized document and that DHS had done similar assessments on “leftwing extremism” in the past. But past domestic terrorism reports have always been very specific in identifying security threats – such as the Animal Liberation Front and the Earth Liberation Front – and very specific in identifying their methods and targets, including repeated physical harassment, arson, and vandalism against pharmaceutical companies, farms, labs, and university researchers.
By contrast, the Obama DHS report is an overarching indictment of conservatives. “Rightwing extremist chatter on the Internet continues to focus on the economy, the perceived loss of U.S. jobs in the manufacturing and construction sectors, and home foreclosures,” the assessment warns. When I asked DHS spokeswoman Sara Kuban to explain who was responsible for this “extremist chatter,” she could not and would not name names.
Moreover, the report relies on the work of the left-leaning Southern Poverty Law Center to stir anxiety over “disgruntled military veterans” – a citation which gives us valuable insight into how DHS will define “hate-oriented” groups. The SPLC, you see, has designated the venerable American Legion a “hate group” for its stance on immigration enforcement. The report offers zero data, but states with an almost resentful attitude toward protected free speech: “Debates over appropriate immigration levels and enforcement policy generally fall within the realm of protected political speech under the First Amendment, but in some cases, anti-immigration or strident pro-enforcement fervor has been directed against specific groups and has the potential to turn violent.”
“Potential to turn violent?” So did the hysterical fervor whipped up by Capitol Hill over the AIG bonuses, which prompted ugly death threats from across the country. No mention here, though. Not “rightwing” enough. Nor will you see Obama DHS warnings to police and sheriff’s departments about self-proclaimed bank terrorists such as Bruce Marks of the aggressive Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America or the mob activists of ACORN who have committed burglary, stormed corporate executives’ homes, and vowed to conduct “civil disobedience” by “any means necessary” in response to the “current economic and political climate.”
If you can redefine dissenting opinion as “hate,” you can brand your political opponents as “extremists” – and you can marginalize electoral threats. “Antigovernment?” “Pro-enforcement?” “Disgruntled?” Feeling taxed enough already and “recruiting” and “radicalizing” your friends and neighbors through “chatter on the Internet?”
We are all rightwing extremists now. Welcome to the club.

How long until they come after conservative bloggers and their commenters and put them on the terrorist “watch” list?
I will be in Chattanooga at Ross’s Landing today with my father-in-law’s 5′x8′ American flag.
One thing I have noticed about the Left with regard to characterizing their role in American history: They view the defeat of Nazi Germany as a glorious testimony to the triumph of world secular-progressivism over fascism. It is their victory and theirs alone. No conservative or traditionalist contributions are recognized in the least. That is why they are predisposed towards characterizing conservatives as “rightwing” or “extreme”.
Forget debate or the democratic process altogether – something they typically avoid anyway. They do not consider non-“progressive” Americans as part of their social family or worthy of even minimal consideration. So when you see them freak out at Americans carrying American flags or protesting onerous and heavy-handed government actions, keep in mind that they do not believe we have the right to do so – that is their personal province, not ours.
Recall all the Bush = Hitler nonsense over the past years (funny since most of the current crop of harpies have little knowledge of history in general and fascists in particular, but seem to know that Hitler was a bad dude). Therefore anyone challenging their neo-socialist leaders must, by definition, be a fascist enemy and not a sincere American with a legitimate beef.
They seem incapable of seeing that they have become the very thing they profess to hate and the thing they lay on others. They will not ever believe that anyone else can hold moral high ground and that they could, in a very real sense, be wrong.
…Yes I did type up my yarn earlier to post on another thread. This seemed a nice segway.
They already have.
We have written a Constitution where we have granted it limited rights. There is no King and the government has only what we have granted it and no more. There men in Government that want more power for themselves that cloak themselves in the in the robes of rulers. I say that ‘We are the Government!’ and tyrants shall be driven out.
It’s the vagueness that’s so troublesome about the DHS report.
The generalized, non-descript terminology used to id the M.O. of potential threats could lead some overzealous local law enforcement officers to harass conservatives w/o the officers even being aware of it.
You might be a right wing extremist if you get behind Pat Toomey in his bid to unseat RINO Arlen Specter. I am there, man. As soon as Toomey has a website up, I am making a donation to him.
As a proud American and the father of a deployed serviceman, I am glad to be part of the ‘club’.
Was hoping to get up to Sacto today but not able to. My father will be there though.
God Bless you all.
How much are the monthly dues for our club? LOL
This is so cool. Now, if I ever am blessed with grandchildren I can tell them about the days when I was a radical extremist!
Not nearly as much as it would cost to not be in the club. If you get my drift.
I’m proud to make Obama’s “Enemies” list. 76, arthiritic knee, retired and a little slow but dammit I can and will get out to a TEA PARTY and I can vote.
I guess I am all of the above and then some. I am proud to be called an extremist because my conservative beliefs, I am a free thinking man and nobody is going to take that away from me by either force, coercion or any Liberal tactic.
#11 so true!
Guilty, and don’t give a flip about what DHS thinks, what are they going to do send me to GITMO for being a Conservative. ahahahahhahahahahhahhahaha
ahahahahahhaahahahahhaha,
ahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahaha,
ahahahahhahahahhaahhaha.
I am proud to be a Conservative Extremist and gladly join the club!! We need to give our club a clever name. Any ideas?
The “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore” club. Shout out to Whoopie.
Unfortunately, I have to work to pay my taxes to support Obummer’s giveaways. My heart is with the tea parties everywhere.
I am considering organizing one here in Fremont, CA on July 4th in front of Pete Stark-Raving-Mad’s local office, just so I can protest on a day which I feel is more in the spirit of the protests – the day in which we became the United States.
I welcome all my fellow “Disgruntled Veterans” and “radicalized rightwing extremis” to join me. I will soon have an e-mail address for any correspondence regarding July 4th. With our hostess’ kind permission, I will post it here.
The time to sit on the fence is long past.
If there are any “dues” to belong to this club, I say give the money to any good candidate who opposes the worst of the crapweasels up for re-election in 2010! Pat Toomey would qualify. And whoever is running against John “Redneck” Murtha.
aj–if you go, you won’t be able to take your Bible, but if you have a Quran, they’ll wrap it in a waterproof cover for you and read it by your bedside at night.
Of course, the Left denies that Hitler was a socialist.
The deadline for mailing it in, is midnight tonight.
Anyone else see the irony of this administration’s stance on tiptoeing around the phrase ‘Islamic Extremist’, but it’s okay to call the Right Wing ‘extremists’.
How about CLUB MALKINTENTS
I question the timing …
Toomey is the one for me as well. Give direct to candidates, forget parties and party committees.
Be wary of Blue Dogs, just another term for lying Democrats.
I agree with a left wing blogger (Yglesias?) on this. Why would MM read something aimed at stopping the next Timothy McVeigh and think it’s about her? On the other hand, if the shoe fits …
How dare you.
I was a radicalized right-wing extremist before being a radicalized right-wing extremist was cool. Now I have to join the American Legion to complete my “full house” of “indicators*.”
Hope is not a plan; not all change is good. WE are the civilian national security force. The resistance is here; the resistance is now. RESIST!!!!
ECS
*(White, male, NRA member, retired Army. The American Legion fills it.)
We’ll save you a seat.
I take it then that you will be relinquishing your ability to comment on her blog, right? Don’t want to be associated with someone like that right, lgm? lgm? Hello?
Well, color me surprised.
Thanks Michell and all patriots here for the info and thoughts on this DHS manifesto bias BS. It’s over the top and offensive. As a vet and very pro military, I take it personal.
Off to the local tea party now, will be in Tucson for one this afternoon. Extremely windy in these parts today – the stars and stripes will flutter with authority.
You don’t say… we’re all shocked by this.
Several here, including at least one liberal, have commented on the fact that the report is poorly written and very indirect as it makes no specific references to any specific groups (or evidence for that matter).
You’re mixing your metaphors. Richard Reid (aka Abdul Raheem, an Islamic terrorist) was the shoe bomber, not Timothy McVeigh.
(I figure if you’re going to be intellectually dishonest about representing MM’s comments, we can all be as obtuse about yours.)
You should give a flip and we all should.
DHS has limited resources; everyone does. This is the equivalent of TSA randomly searching 88 year old women in wheel chairs at the expense of not performing extra screening Middle Eastern men age 18 to 50.
For you non-vets out there its called Battle Focus or Mission Focus.
These idiots are going to deplete resources chasing after a group of Americans whose only objectionable trait is they do not fit the politically correct mode of The One.
It stupid, incompetent and DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano should be told in no certain terms, “If you cannot focus on the real HS threats, your replacement will.”
As mentioned in a prior post, Obama’s reaction or lack of it to this DHS NONSENSE will tell us all much.
Is it a rule we have to have a token libtard like lgm here or something?
Whoever was involved in drawing up this alert from DHS should be fired. We should be stoking the fires under our reps to try our best to have these people outed and fired. We should not let this just dry up and blow away.
1) Considering that you don’t know the name, did you even read the entire blog
2) Do you realize that by insinuating that Mrs. Malkin is a terrorist you are accusing her of committing crime(s)? Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Folks on the left are so willing to make sure this applies to GITMO detainees who were captured in the middle of the field of battle in a hot war, but when it comes to conservatives, they have a different standard.
But, I guess it’s okay because it’s for the sake of “progress!” Any and all means are necessary to achieve that!
3) I have friends and family who are pro-life and against gay marriage and who served in the US military (not happy about serving in Iraq) who voted for Obama. Does this mean they are “right wing extremists?” Or do Obama supporters get a free pass since this little report is pretty much all about silencing those who don’t agree with Obama?
flyover, I don’t give a flip about what DHS thinks of me specifically, I do have concerns in the big picture.
Can I get a job at Northwestern now?
Just when I think you cannot lower the bar any lower you make yourself out to be an even bigger idiot/target.
Explain how this report is going to prevent the next McVeigh.
I suppose if McVeigh was a cop killer, you, the liberals and Hollywood would hold him up as some kind of hero.
How is that for some good ol’ lgm projection?
.oO my brain hurts
Political oppression, the demise of our Constitutional rights and the elimination of free speech . . . it’s all in the memo.
I hope they stop the next Tim VcVeigh too. Or do you think we support people who blow up a building after reconing it and knowing there was a day care center in the building? If so, I hope MM throws you off this site.
What is objectionable in the DHS document is they equate a 73 year old veteran who flies a “Don’t Tread on Me” flag below the U.S. flag in his yard to Tim McVeigh.
It is the equivalent of calling Joan Biaz, a devote pacifist, a national security threat and sending assets to investigate her. IT’S STUPID!!!! It makes one believe they can’t even secure their car in the parking lot much less the country.
Paranoia will destroya!
Rockwell -Somebody’s watching me.
And all this time we only jokingly made passing references to the ‘language police’, but, lo and behold, they are here. When do the ‘purges’ begin???
Man, you got that one spot on. I knew she was woefully un/under-qualified for the DHS job and shuddered when I learned of her appointment.
I love the WACKOS that pull the MC VEIGH CARD all the time… As if this justifies all the MURDER and MAYHEM caused by RADICAL ISLAM over the last 30 or so years… It don’t work WACKOS… As for the HS report (TOTALLY WRITTEN BY B.HUSSEIN), this may be the PROVERBIAL STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL’S BACK… Especially for the so called MODERATES and other FENCE SITTERS… As for myself, I would rather be called a RIGHT WING RADICAL then a SOCIALIST LIBERAL anytime!!!
The good news is we give a flip about what you think?
Keep up the fight!
LGM, a real liberal would be more concerned w/ Obama’s apparent turn to “cowboy” diplomacy/use of force over dialog in handling the pirate hostage situation – something he said, during the campaign, his administration would never do – rather than fret some free-speech Tea Parties. (As a GOP plant, you should know this.)
O/T but a question for you:
How can Captain Phillips’ release be seen as “military” victory for Obama when, as was adroitly pointed out to me on this site, pirates constitute neither a political philosophy nor ideology?
Instead of the Left spinning it as a military victory, wasn’t it more a less a successful police action?
But then again, never mind answering. We pretty much know what you’ll say.
Not only am I a right wing extremist, I’m a racist, nativist, homophobe, part of the conspiracy, and uncaring of my fellow man. Boy,today is a good day!
McVeigh (spit when you say that) was taught bomb-making by Ramsey Yusef (spit when you sy that, too) while in Indonesia. McVeigh was also nutty as a fruitcake. Hardly a paragon of “the right”.
Stepping back, and looking at the progression of events in the last couple weeks (eg. the announcement of a push for amnesty, surfacing of Dream Act bills at the state level, more news/media coverage of the supposed ‘plight’ of illegal aliens and/or their children, etc)…
It is becoming clear to me, that an offensive (as in opposite of defensive) and concerted ‘push’ is being made to stifle speech and debate on the issue of immigration – especially the white-hot debate on ILLEGAL immigration. Look for all the stops to be pulled to control language, defame persons that don’t use the politically correct terminology, and similar tactics.
Contact your elected Representatives – early and often.
The blogger to which you refer was Andrew Sullivan. Did you read any of the DHS report? Could you not find overbroad characterizations that might offend? Say people of Christian faith, or members of the American Legion,
or people who legitimately own firearms to protect hearth and home, or returning members of the military who provide the very freedom for you to write one inane post after another?
Just asking is all.
hmmm ‘Right Wing Extremist’ … looks like I need a new T-Shirt…
For comic relief.
#49 you left out xenophobe!
I plan to join the Sierra Club and ACORN. Won’t have to worry about DHS
watching me and I can be free to express my political opinions, which I will.
I is, I is! I am so proud.

Guess they’re extremists now.
The “One” is on TV again hearing himself talk.
Ok off subject for a sec he keeps touting this 95% of people tax break again! So if people making over 92K pay 72.8% of all fed income tax how is that possible? Now I am no economist but, again the liberal math doesn’t make sense!
I have to turn the radio off when an idiot calls in to a conservative talk show. It’s just too painful to hear. In the same way, it’s painful to read lgm’s posts.
The pen is mightier than the sword, and he who holds the presidential pen writes the definitions.
Extremists are now anyone who thinks the government is spending too much.
WMD (weapons of mass destruction) are now anything that has the capability to injure.
They’ll soon be confiscating “WMDs” from “extremists”. That’s double-plus bellyfeel goodthink.
If you drop the newspeak, that means they’ll soon be ignoring the constitution to confiscate Americans’ guns under the guise of terrorism prevention.
lgm posting here speaks volumes to Michelle Malkin’s generosity & grace to allow him to express himself.
Then, typical of a leftist fiend, he insults, nay–nearly libels, her with a comparison to McVeigh.
Great piece, Michelle…aka..the Boss; one of your best. After I read the DHS report yesterday, I found much to my chagrin, that I am a right wing extremist. Then I spent a few moments thinking about it…..that chagrin, became pride….and today, I carry my “right wing extremism” as a badge of honor…..
Maybe this explains why Homeland Security’s number was on my caller Id…?
No message just a hang up.
Must say it made me more than a little bit nervous….(intimidating as it is supposed to be.?)…
Brown shirts on the way???
A huge portion of the 95% are people who’s income is too low to pay income taxes and they qualify for and get an Income Tax Credit – that’s how liberal math works. Some tax break – take from those who pay and give to those who don’t pay at all.
Man, that’s going to put a stop to my hobbies if they take my X-ACTO knives away : )
There is a very simple solution to this. Michelle and other sympathetic bloggers all need to host a downloadable “registration” form that people can download and mail into Janet. Just as sex offenders, criminals, etc must register, us “Freedom Offenders” can register too as “defenders of the vision laid out by the founding fathers in the constitution”. John Hancock proudly signed his name to paper in big bold letters to foster the noble concept that became our nation. I am sure many others are willing to sign and send DHS a form registering as a Freedom Offender. If Janet’s office had to deal with a million plus letters over the next month from people registering as Freedom Offenders then the fool authors of this publication might get a clue. P.S. …Besides, the post office needs the business.
#64 that I realize but, again how can you give a tax break to someone that doesn’t pay taxes????? A welfare check
I found this video on Resistnet.net:
Here is the link for a video, The Third Jihad by an American Muslim about the goals of Jihadist Muslims. It is fully engrossing as well as factual in its explanation of the steps Jihadists have taken and are taking in the USA to implement sharia law.
The author is careful to point out that these folks have been working on this for decades; no one party is to blame. It is about 30 minutes long, but is an amazing journalisic piece. Dr. Jaffar is an MD. He should be a Senator. Running DHS. Something important. Instead, he is being shunned by the Muslim community. (He has been on GB, so some of you may know of him.)
One can call it a tax break if it suits one’s purposes and can easily fool a non-thinking audience. Welfare is basically what it amounts to. Liberal compasion at work, buying a voting bloc with our tax payments.
Come, come, stick to the topic in the thread and leave these harmless peace loving people, as so obviously determined by DHS, out of this conversation.
Or are you just trying to distract this discussion away from your own hateful right-wing extremism?

On April 15th, 2009 at 11:25 am,
Great suggestion! Very creative!
Normally I am able to pass off and ignore lgm’s comments … and even to occasionally try to actually try to carry on a reasonable debate on some topic …
BUT … NOT THIS TIME …
I lost relatives in the Oklahoma City bombing … I have good friends that lost friends and relatives on 9/11 … and I guarantee you if I could have gotten my hands on McVeigh and Nichols I would have saved the legal systems millions … and they would not have ever found the bodies … and I would consider it a great honor to take out Bin Laden …
Attempting to compare ALL VETERANS with McVeigh as home grown anti-American extremists is every bit as much of an insult as comparing them to Al Qaeda terrorists … and I am tired of that as well …
Only because of the military veterans of this great country do any of you retarded ingrates even get the opportunity to voice your so called opinions … here or in public … no matter how ridiculous and asinine they may be …
If anything you should be kissing the feet of veterans … without them you idiots will not last because in your misguided stupidity you fail to realize that all of your liberalism will make you the first ones to go …
Tools is all you are … bunch of mindless lemmings …
/rant off …
lgm…. please…. puhleeeeze…. go back to that rock you crawled out from under, the light has to be hurting your beady little eyes. As things continue to heat up and the silent majority really picks up steam, you and the rest of the closet commies will have a lot less room to spew your crap.
I am PROUD to be a part of “right wing extremism”. It feels good to be labeled something else but a screwed over taxpayer.
DL – I couldn’t agree more – and rant away. lgm is nothing more than a pimple on the @$$ of humanity, and certainly doesn’t warrant a response normally, but in this case, as in the past, he definitely stepped over the line. BZ and Semper Fi
Obama came on TV at 11:00 right on cue, just as Rush Limbaugh’s show started. Obama does that all the time. It can’t be an accident! Rush mentioned that he needs the e-mail address of the White House so he can send them a reminder when he is set to start his program so they can be sure and get Obama out to the podium in time! Ha! One sound bite from Obama’s speech this a.m. stood out to me…”We need taxes and our government to create jobs.” Whaaaat??? The government and our taxes create jobs now? I thought capitalism and the entrepreneurial spirit created the jobs. At least they used to.
cpodug … thanks for having my back my friend …
I keep thinking, if I were a cop and having read this DHS “warning”, wouldn’t I laugh it off for what it is? What exactly are they supposed to do to us? These Tea Parties are like family picnics, mostly good-natured regular folks, many with children.
I will be attending wearing a business suit. How threatening is that? What is there to fear? A paper cut? (I know, paper cuts are the worst.)
I like it.
Many of the cops I know resemble that which the DHS is warning: Christian, “right wing”, 2nd Amendment supporters… etc
OHHHHHH a suit…….. You’re one of those greedy bankers who hijacked our money, blew all on risky loans, and then got a million dollar bonus.
Fes’ up you Nazi.
Sorry, nothing personal. I’m just working on refining my paranoia.
High School Dropouts, Welfare Recipients, Drug Addicts, Losers, Bigots, Idiots….. man this is fun, so many names fit your profile.
Well, I’m 45, not in great shape, and my military service was as a technician, not a warrior. I probably won’t be running around the woods with an AR-15. Especially with young children. If it gets that bad, maybe head for Canada. I’m closer to Mexico, but that wouldn’t be more than a transit point on the way to another nation.
But if Texas secedes, I would take up arms to defend my state against a corrupt and over-reaching federal government.
Ignore this clown.
He should have been gone a long time ago after this comment. He is only here to agitate.
They already have their clubs: Democrat Party, ACORN, CBC, ad nauseum.
Real mature. I think liberals are programmed to be perpetual 17-year-olds because that’s the level of civility and intellectual discourse they so regularly display.
All the groups you named would actually be liberal constituent groups. Conservative extremists – gasp! – believe in working, getting a good education, not doing drugs, and not relying on government largess to support them.
Don’t change the subject of this thread. We’re talking about Conservatives, not libtards (like you).
FYI …
Very large crowds already being shown in Boston, DC, Sacramento and Tulsa on Foxnews …
What makes that impressive is that the tea parties are not even supposed to be starting for a couple of more hours in some of those locations …
This is more proof that traditional Americans are fighting for the very life of this Country against Orwellian propagandists, corrupt media, and socialists citizens and highly placed politicans. This is a match of survival between people that want our country to commit suicide, and people who want our Country to be as the Founding Fathers envisioned it.
“…and then the Big Bad Wolf grabbed Little Red and shouted, ‘You little Infidel, you have dishonored our family by going to school!’ And so he beat her and beat her and beat her while Grandma sharpened her knife.”
“Meanwhile, back at the White Castle (home of tiny little Wagyu burgers), the King’s personal Stooge Sir Janet announced, ‘As of today, all Woodsmen are to be considered radical extremists! We will confiscate their axes and prosecute them to the fullest extent of International Law. In addition – we have changed the phrase ‘Big Bad Wolf’ to ‘Furry Natural Disaster’. That is all. Go to sleep.”
Really? Happyscrapper is a Grandmother. Would you say that to her face? To your grandmother’s face?
None of those terms fits anyone on this board.
Well played!
My faith in America is slipping drastically under the tyranny of the Obama administration and Pelosi’s Congress. The DHS report is a deliberate attempt to target Obama’s political foes right before the April 15 Tea Party demonstrations. First Amendment suppression at its finest….

It takes about 10 minutes to write such a thing.
Especially when you consider that most of the supposed “extremists” merely take opposition to Obama’s policies and there are NO real, documented instances of terror activity or violence cited in the report.
On the other hand, let’s give lgm the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it was started by Bush – but replace “right” with “left” and liberal causes.
