"Shepard Smith blows the 'DHS is picking on the Tea Parties' meme out of the water" http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/shepard-smith-blows-dhs-picking-tea http://is.gd/sNfx Turns out, there was also a DHS assessment of left-wing groups as well and that both assessments were commissioned under the Bush administration. It's pretty funny that this meme was debunked on Faux Noise, of all places.
