Guess who Census banned as 'partners'
Agency seeks out ACORN, but 'blacklists' other groups

The U.S. Census Bureau, reflecting what apparently is becoming a political position that involves more than one federal agency, has listed "hate groups," "law enforcement" "and "anti-immigrant groups" among those that would be refused permission to become a partner with the 2010 Census.

The news comes in a series of documents obtained by Judicial Watch under the Freedom of Information Act about the census operations.

WND previously reported when the Department of Homeland Security released an "extremism" report that warned local law enforcement officers nationwide to watch out for "potential terrorists" including those who:


Oppose abortion


Oppose same-sex marriage


Oppose restrictions on firearms


Oppose lax immigration laws


Oppose the policies of President Obama regarding immigration, citizenship, and the expansion of social programs


Oppose continuation of free trade agreements


Are suspect of foreign regimes


Fear Communist regimes


Oppose a "one world" government


Bemoan the decline of U.S. stature in the world


Are upset with loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs to China and India, and more
At the time, a lawyer pursuing a lawsuit against Department of Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano over the "extremist" report said he was not reassured by her later promise to "reword" the document.

"She says, 'Well, we're going to reword the document - and we're going to make it more precise,'" Richard Thompson, president of the Thomas More Law Center, told WND. "That's scary because we know they are still going to maintain some kind of targeting for various people that she's never apologized to or never retracted [her accusations]."

At issue is the agency's "Rightwing Extremism" report called "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment." WND has posted the report online.

    At some point, isn't it easier just to say who is NOT on the list?

    Acorn supporters, and "welfare to work" program folks ARE on the approved list.

    we all are, I bet even Obama himself would fit the list on some level...but then;
    he loves communists (is one)

    Has never served in the military (until he became Commander in chief)

    no one bemoans the state of our country more than him (but he is the change most of the rest of us bemoan)

    Oh wait, he does oppose same sex marriage (unless someone thinks he shouldn't)
