DHS Maligns Vets

I read this DHS report and came away pis***. Does this mean that any person who speaks out against further gun registration laws, immigration, taxes, or opposes Obama's spending plan is a threat. I did not see the first piece of evidence in the report that ttalks about specific issues. It's all about "this might happen".
The first paragraph of the report is as follows:
Threats from white supremacist and violent antigovernment groups
during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts. Nevertheless, the consequences of a prolonged economic downturn—including real estate oreclosures, unemployment, and an inability to obtain credit—could create a fertile recruiting environment for rightwing
extremists and even result in confrontations between such groups and government authorities similar to those in the past.
(This insinuates that the only people to be feared in this country are white. I just read the newspaper this AM and the pictures of those arrested were not white.)
The second paragraph is racial from a DHS perspective.
Rightwing extremists have capitalized on the election of the first
African American president, and are focusing their efforts to recruit new members, mobilize existing supporters, and broaden their scope and appeal through propaganda, but they have not yet turned to attack planning.
(When I hear comments about Obama, they are not racial. Rather, people are talking about spending issues, poor economy, his stance on Cuba, Afghanistan, etc.) This dog will not hunt.
