“A bizarre warning as well from the Department of Homeland Security about the threat to this country from those concerned about the issues of illegal immigration, second amendment rights, and concerned as well about the returning veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.” (CNN)
Hello, I’m Charlotte Bellis and you’re watching Newsy.com.

American media are nearly unanimous in their responses, condemning the report for political bias and ignoring the issue of Al Qaeda.
MSNBC’s Morning Joe has this question…
“What would you have said, if George Bush, Karl Rove, and the head of homeland security had issued a report warning about left-wing radicals wanting to blow up America? It’s frightening.” (MSNBC)
The Washington Times, who broke the story, has this counterpoint from a former DHS staffer…
“…I suspect that this report was under works before Obama’s folks came into office. The fact that they have an acting non-political appointed Under Secretary for Intel confirms this, and they issued a similar left wing analysis two months prior.” (The Washington Times)
Rolling Stone magazine says the report oversimplifies the issue…
“It irresponsibly conflates murderous hate-crime-committing white supremacists and homegrown terrorists like Timothy McVeigh with run of the mill rightwingers who, God love ‘em, have every right to vehemently oppose the federal government, abortion, and immigration.” (Rolling Stone)
FOX News brings the perspective of one veteran…
“Unfortunately, it appears to us to have a political bias to it, and unfortunately it’s a casual defamation of servicemen and veterans." (FOX News)
Some have also claimed that the report was released to disrupt tea party gatherings on Tax Day in the U.S.
So what do you think?
Is the report unfair?
Should the U.S. be concerned about attacks from right-wing extremists?
