Emmy-Winning Commentator and Writer for Esquire
When the Department of Homeland Security issued an intelligence assessment characterizing returning military vets as potential domestic terrorists, conservatives went ape...crap. GOP Rep. Gus Bilirakis said the DHS was "engaging in political and ideological profiling." 'Cause Tim McVeigh didn't exist, domestic militias are harmless and there's been no uptick in hate crimes. Be that as it may... If conservatives are so sensitive to "shoddy" threat assessments, where's the (fake) outrage over Virginia's recently leaked report that the state's historically black colleges form a "radicalization node" for extremists?
