We Do Profiling Right

On the subject of the Department of Homeland Security alert to law enforcement on “rightwing extremism,” Jonah Goldberg has a nice summary of its premise: (“(Right) Winging It at the DHS”):
[I]t’s very sloppy about what qualifies someone as “extremist” in the first place. Basically, it’s fancy bureaucratese for: We’re guessing bad people will do bad things because the economy is bad and the president is black. But we have no real evidence.
Please. Everybody needs to read this report.

Everybody.
