Here's the difference:
The right wing extremism warning speaks in very broad, general terms speculating not only that there may be attacks but that returning war veterans pose a potential threat. It presumes that returning combat veterans have a likelihood of joining these fringe elements with the specific intent of conducting acts of terrorism against government facilities. The DHS reports clearly states that there is no specific indication of an attack. It's all speculation.
The left wing extremism warning names specific groups with an established history of conducting malicious cyber acts. These are non-violent acts.
Left wing extremists portrayed as a nuisance. Right wing extremists portrayed as a clear and present danger. Left wing extremist report based on a specific history of previous events. Right wing extremist report based on a bunch of "what-if" speculation.
Anyone who is a member of the Earth Liberation Front, the Internet Liberation Front or is a Hacktivist are suspects in the left wing report. Anyone who believes that the government is wastefully spending taxpayer money, or anyone who opposes gun control legislation, or anyone who believes that more serious measures are needed to fight illegal immigration, or any returning combat veteran are suspects in the right wing report.
