Hot Air exclusive: Ja-No apologizes to American Legion
Ed Morrissey has the scoop, and also reports that the American Legion “believes that Napolitano will withdraw that report in favor of a better, more specific, and narrower report on actual threats.”
Ja-No is scheduled to testify about DHS immigration enforcement policies (or rather, the lack thereof) on May 6.
The Foundry’s got questions.

I want to hear Prez-O apologize to the members of the American Legion in the way HIS administration members acted. He’s too busy bashing America and apologizing for past administrations “actions”. It’s his watch. It’s his fault.

It would also be nice for her to apologize to all American’s who bho and she thinks are terrorists if we don’t agree with what this bunch is doing to our country. I have a problem with my government putting me on a ‘watch list’ for what I believe.
L
I’m positive that the apology will be sincere and include a fervent rededication to pursuing actual terrorists… like Islamist madmen.
I apologize for any computer monitors that got sprayed due to my little attempt at humor.
She will never make an honest apology. The only answer is for Congressmen and Senators to man up and demand her resignation (good luck – apparently, politicians are castrated upon taking office nowadays). The report itself was bad enough but her snide psuedo-apology was the icing on the cake.
Someone quoted Dean Wormer yesterday – “Fat Drunk and Stupid is no way to go through life..”
How about “Ignorant, Arrogant and Left Wing is no way to run a group of Law Enforcement Agencies”?
BTW, she has a boss. HE should be apologizing. I’m holding my breath..
How can she apologize? Is she going to say “Sorry that I let the American people know exactly how I feel and inexcusably made them aware of the beliefs that will drive our policy at the DHS” ? NO.
She needs to immediately release a new “official” statement describing the real threat to the nations security. If she does not, then she is confident that American Citizens, who wish to keep their government in check, are the real threat. If that is the case, then SHE is the threat against this country and our constitution. How could it be anything else?
Her own actions tell the complete story which identifies the threat to our citizens.
Even if they release a new report that is “narrower,” this one will not go away. And any new report will be oh-so-quietly distributed, so they will never have to explain to their left-wing loons why they caved to those “evil right-wing extremists.”
Garbage! She needs to go, and PBO needs to issue a full-fledged apology to all of the American people for appointing this POS. I’m sure he’ll be on TV soon enough, probably in the next 30 minutes or so, so it’s not like he won’t have the opportunity.
Before I call for her resignation, I would like to see the new report. I expect its contents to be revealing.
If the earlier report is not redacted, then bring out the pitchforks
Smoke and Mirrors
All these sorry, lame, insignificant, take one for the team bonehead gaffs is nothing more than a distraction to keep our eyes off the real agenda Odopey and crew are cooking up and then voting on in the dark of the night behind closed doors. The media is feeding it to all the sheeple of Odopey nation while all his flock are watching Michelle O’s armpits and BoDopey the water dog. Hopey Changey my eye, he’s in wayyyyyyy over his head. The entire admin is a joke and we are in deep Kimchi.
I just posted at Hot Air that she did not apologize. How incredibly quick is this admin. when it needs to pull its head out of its a** and its foot out of its mouth.
Most notable from the link is her statement: “She was also asked today about Republicans who say her apology to veterans for a report saying they were vulnerable to recruitment for domestic terrorism was not sufficient. She responded, “That’s what they’re going to get.”"
That might not be so easy. The last one wasn’t supposed to be public either – but there are too many conservatives in law enforcement to keep it a secret for long.
(Thinking out loud) Hmmm…. now where did I leave that pitchfork?
It’s propped up against the gun cabinet.
Will this be like the Jane Fonda faux-apology?
It had better not be black – that’s an assault pitchfork. In California you are allowed a pitchfork with one tine only and blunt…
Oddly enough, they have both been photographed with weapons while laughing like hyenas. Very strange.
I don’t want her to resign, I want her fired! and as far as the pitchforks go why wait…with rare exception the entire Congress needs to be change out for one that adheres and has actually read the Constitution they swore an oath to protect and defend, not tear apart and put into the shredder…
Honest and sincere is something this administration is not….
Her insincerity is so sincere. BTW, can she spell
potatoepotato?Hmmm…. now where did I leave that pitchfork?
Love it!

Damn right.
When they send me to the re-education camp, will there be more TV channels than MSNBC and CNN?
hangfire, the reeducation camp is to be north of fargo n. dakota, and the only t.v. you can get is daytime talk shows like oprah. fix your mind right!
So will Janet apologize to us after the mysterious flu-like epidemic currently sweeping Mexico breaks out here? Or will our government apologize only after 10,000 are dead? Or will it take 100,000 or 1,000,000 deaths to make them “sorry” for not enforcing border security for the last 20 years?
Does Janet still think our major threat is from Canada?
Build the fence NOW!
I guess that means no more Benny Hill……..?
Sorry, Benny is not PC. Where is your mind today? Off to the sensitivity camp for you; straight away! /sarc
No doubt this fool was hand-picked because of her lack of knowledge and experience. Thinking that humiliating ‘Bambi and the entire admin will get her removed from office is our wishful thinking. You can only embarrass someone that knows right from wrong. She doesn’t and neither does he. And, he had the audacity to throw out that line about painting lipstick on a pig. We all thought it was Palin he was talking about.
Remove Obama’s lipstick (silver tongue) and then what do you have? I’ll let your own analysis answer that one, but it is definitely not a pig!
DHS – Lights are on, TV is running, windows are open, front door is unlocked, but NO ONE is home!

I still don’t get that anyone thinks this guy has a silver tongue. If TOTUS is not powered up he can’t string 5 words together without an UH.
He reads a teleprompter with such conviction and sincerity that it gives the impression of eloquence (even when he gave himself thanks when the wrong speech was displayed…
).
I’ve seen people’s eyes begin to open, then close immediately once they here another speech.
DAMAGE CONTROL is why he is having another “public indoctrination” session tonight. He’s has to get ‘them eyes closed again before the pitchforks come out.
“here” should be “hear”.
No apology accepted here. I recall coming home from Vietnam to be insulted by Faux Citizens and it hurt then. So I stayed in the Army, took a break for college, went back and retired to come home after three wars and deployments to hell holes that you would not visit by choice.
Let her be fired and go find gainful employment in the failing private sector. Any apology from her MUST come with her RESIGNATION because the Pretender in Chief won’t fire her. She is His Tool.
The Founding Fathers never intended for un-productive folks to be professional public office holders.
I feel insulted and She is not qualified to hold public office.
Just my 2 cents worth.
Janet Nappy isn’t smart enough to be Bosun’s Mate on a buoy tender.
You’ve got to be kidding. They’re already blaming it on us, according to WOAI.
Does this make her a “Bambi Bimbo?”
Just askin’…
The Commander has go to go.
He respects her
He thinks they are learning
They will do joint job fairs
blah blah blah
same old DC sellout crap
He went to a meeting came out with some

Retire sir and let a Real American lead our Blessed Vets.
old trooper,
Hubby was in Vietnam and had the same issues you had. You and he did not ‘go out and kill anyone’ as jan said you would. Thank you for your service.

“…we have narrowed our target to those extremists that read Michelle Malkin…”
Ja-No Re-No?
you might want to either watch or re-watch the movie Red Dawn…that’ll give you a clue…
ooops almost forgot the constant playing of dear leader speeches….
There is nothing narrower about J-No.
You will receive an iPod with the collected speeches of He Whose Middle Name is Hussein and a copy of the Audacity of Hype. Each morning you WILL assemble to sing the Internationale
Workers of the World Unite!
About a 4 minute song.
I want to second someones comment that Obama is one of the most inarticulate people I have ever been heard.
Even with a teleprompter, the way he hurries up to finish every sentence is annoying.
He has to hurry to finish the sentences before they scroll off of the screen.
Yeah…some apology. Sure, she apologized, without actually admitting that it was her fault.
All she did was blame it all on some no-name subordinate lackey who may or may not exist.
However, like a true Liberal and neo-Socialist, she fails to realize that since she is in charge, she is really the one to blame, she is responsible.
What is it about these Lefties that makes them fail to understand that when you are in charge, when you are the boss, you are responsible for whatever your office, business or whatever does. Can someone point out someone on the Left in his Administration or in Congress that had EVER just straight out apologized for something that was wrong where they were not placing the blame on someone else other than themselves?
If it is one thing Liberals know how to do, it is “pass the buck”.
An apology without corrective action is nothing more than paying lipservice because she got caught.
Sort of like catching your three old with his hand in the cookie jar and he blames his teddy bear for doing it.
The only approbiate corrective action is for Janet Nepoltino to resign effectively immediately. No hyberbole, just a simple and straight forward solution.

J-No’s apology:
’sorry’ that you read the report,
John Kerry said that military people are stupid and can’t read.
I believed him.
my bad’.
I’ll give it a go.
democrat + apologizes + congressman
Top ten results yield one link (March 10, 2003) from Jim Moran (D-VA), for saying “if it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this war with Iraq, we would not be doing this.”
Took him 20 days before he issued his apology.
The other nine were various Democrats demanding an apology from someone else.
These results are not surprising to me and I assume somewhat confirms the original question (even if it was presented as rhetorical). Dems are not in the business of taking personal responsibility for themselves nor do they ask for it in ANY of the social policies they support.
This administration is so giddy with finally having control of the whole political ball of wax that the gaffes show us just what is really going on and what their true agenda is. Stuff leaks out from time to time. Think of it as weeping puss from an infected sore.
She has nothing to apologize for. The report was accurate. It did not target vets as a group. It did say that right wing paramilitaries target vets, which is true.
This flap illustrates the sad fact that conservative BS repeated enough comes to be taken as true by some.
Lgm-What report did you read? If I recall you are white.
The report only mentions one veteran (Timothy McVeigh) and he sympathised with Muslims. Lets see one veteran out of 30 million compared to the large number of criminals in a country of 300 million.
Interestingly the FBI’s most wanted list doesn’t include any white military veterans. The FBI’s #1 suspect is Daniel Andreas San Diego.
For the Janet Nepoltino’s report to be accurate, listing specific acts of domestic terrorism caused by white military veterans and the groups that they are affilated with.
If assumming that all veterans are potential terrorists because of their past military status, then it would also be safe to state that all black or latino people are criminals due to the high rates of crimes that the group commits. The ironic thing is that there are more Muslims on the FBI’s list than veterans.
There is more evidence to list the KBPOTUS as a terrorist because of his known connections with people who have committed terrorist acts against this country the average veteran (Kerry included).
I would rather have friends that are veterans (minus Kerry and Murtha), and supporter of veterans than the average socialist who consistently superceeds our nation’s soverntenty.

“This is Sparta!”
OT: MM/adminstrators-How much longer can lgm be allowed to post here while lesser comments get people banned from left leaning blog sites?
LGM – Sit down and shut up. All of your posts seem to be directed the same way: Some stupid comment specifically designed to sidetrack the conversation. Do us all a favor, go play in the cat box with the other turds over at KOS.
Back on topic, I think the entire point has been missed here. The report that was actually released simply points out how the leadership at DHS thinks of the general population. A ‘new’ report will in no way change how those rat ba*&^rds feel about us. It will simply be a salve designed to quiet things down long enough for the next great revelation/scandal/stupidness in the BHO organization to be revealed.
This DHS issue will pass into oblivion and be yesterday’s news, ignored by the MSM, dropped by the whine of the moment crowd and forgotten. Just like Geithner’s tax problems, just like the true birth certificate issue, just like the bow to the Saudi king, just like Pelosi’s airplane and travel issues, and so on.
I don’t personally care if this idiot Napolitano quits, gets fired or if someone melts her by throwing a pail of water on her. I just want her to go away!
I just laugh at all the people that the Libs have considered to be their best and brightest as well as such wonderful orators from Der Fuhrer on down the list. It is as if the keys to the country have been turned over to the rejects from “Romper Room”. Hell, even the guy that speaks for him every morning has the same “can’t make a cogent sentence without a prompter” malady as his boss. Put the two of them together and they sound like a couple of guys who forgot the words to a song.
“Um…da…dee…dee…dum…diddly…dum…dum…um uh! uh!”
Actually Retfireman, I was thinking about forcing the KBPOTUS and his staff to watch The Electric Company.

Again, this wasn’t your position when MM first blogged the DHS report, and you commented, a full day later, that it was the “plain truth” from the “Bushies.”
Why the flip?
As opposed to the liberal misinformation that reaches meme status, and is automatically accepted as the absolute truth by “some” as though it were telepathically broadcast?
The apology to the Legion was a good start but some veterans are not Legion members. There needs also to be a public apology to ALL veterans, Of all wars, starting with the Revolutionary War.
