But in the wake of the murder of Dr. George Tiller by an anti-abortion extremist -- who had also been said by the FBI during the 1990s to have been a member of the radical Freemen group -- the report is looking a little more reasonable.Predictably, Roth concludes, "[p]erhaps that report is due for a reassessment." Hiding behind a pen name, "Kyle" of People for the American Way's Right Wing Watch, writes "it seems as if the report - far from being an offensive attack on Christians and anti-choice activists - was remarkably timely and accurate." Jason Linkins of the Huffington Post lies about how conservatives reacted to the release of the DHS report. Linkins writes he "found it a bit bizarre that many conservatives seemed to want to go out of their way to identify and equate themselves with domestic neo-Nazi organizations and violent religious fundamentalists." Noting that "the word ‘conservative' did not appear in the report," he argues that it made no sense for conservatives "to stand up for and embrace a violent political fringe."
