Hot Air, Don’t Like Being Labeled a ‘Rightwing Extremist’? Blame Bush!, Robert Stacy McCain:

Scott Boykin of the Alabama Republican Liberty Caucus:

“Creating a new Department of Homeland Security was a bad idea. . . .”

American Spectator, Thoughcrime Redux, by Matthew Vadum:

Libertarian blogger Stephen Gordon of the Liberty Papers uncovered the new DHS threat assessment report, “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment.”

Hot Air, Alabama Sweet Tea, by Robert Stacy McCain:

Stephen has helped organize and promote the Alabama events. (He’s the guy who obtained the DHS “terrorist” report.) Now, pushing back against the JournoList meme that the Tea Party movement is a GOP/neocon “AstroTurf” conspiracy, Stephen writes at the Liberty Papers:
