Obama shreds the Constitution and tramples civil liberties.

That's what they would say about Bush if his administration put out a similar controversial DHS report warning against left-wing extremists (there's a term you'll rarely see in the MSM). Especially if the report was issued after civil liberty officials at DHS raised concerns.

Civil liberties officials at the Homeland Security Department flagged language in a controversial report on right-wing extremists, but the agency issued the report anyway.

The intelligence assessment issued to law enforcement last week said some military veterans could be susceptible to extremist recruiters or commit lone acts of violence. That prompted angry reactions from some lawmakers and veterans' groups.

Homeland Security spokeswoman Amy Kudwa said the report was issued before officials resolved problems raised by the agency's civil rights division about analysts' definition of right-wing extremism.
