Way back when Obama first became President

I recall a report from the FBI, as I recall, that indicated a threat to our nation was growing with the increased numbers of radical right wing groups. I also recall that Congress went ballistic and refused to support or accept the findings or that they needed further study.
I would like to know who those, Republicans I presume, were that denied this information and if they could be singled and held responsible for the situation we are now in.

I'm going to make a few calls and see if any of the slakers want to take any responsibility for recent events
