Sounds like Huffington is looking for a night in the Lincoln Bedroom.

Oh the irony...

Here, let's try this:

I only ask because I'm pretty tired of the radical right label being flung around willy nilly without any real qualification for what it means in the real world. I was hoping to gain some insight into how you define it. I'm concerned that it is used too easily as a way to discredit everyday conservative ideas.

I wouldn't characterize most of what I see of the right wing as radical or extreme. Maybe the only ones I do are the religious right who campaign for prayer back in the school and stuff or those way out factions who attact the skinhead types.

Im not saying that the right hasnt been maligned by the left, however, it just seems to me that a lot righties like to use that radical extemist lefty label as a way to denigrate liberalism out of hand.

The detractors from either side use both terms with equal veracity.

Well, so, all I wanted was what parameters/characteristics you use when you use the 'radical extremist' label, especially when you use it to describe Soros or The CAP. Then, I might have a better idea why you think its not a good idea for Obama to use them for ideas.

He is an extremely controversial figure with some very shady history. He was convicted of insider trading. For me it is the statements Soros made about the president and the way he used his billions to make commercials that were false and misleading to appeal to a liberal mindset. You can look them up if you are interested. Soro's has one goal in mind - how to make more money. Look at his overseas deals to get an idea. He has cloaked much of his business deals by giving a lot of money to some very good causes and he should be commended for that much. I don't trust him, his intentions, or his organizations.

Let's play devils advocate and flip a page in time. If a multi-billionare conservative came out in public and said, "I will spend all of my money and time to defeat Obama at any cost. It is a life and death issue."

What would be the reaction of the people that voted for Obama?

And if that billionare made commercials that linked Obama to Hitler and ran them on the tv? What kind of response would you get from Obama's supporters?

Bush is gone now, which means so is Soros's pet peeve.

What does extreme radical left mean to you?

Just because Bush is gone does not mean you can ignore Soro's past misdeeds. He is a radical individual with radical ideas about government.

What are they? You're not going to get yourself pinned down, are you.

And I don't necessarily consider his fight to get rid of Bush a misdeed.

read the links.

I have already read about Soro's history and I cant really find anything that I think is 'radical extremism'.

One more time, Merc...what does lefty radical extremism mean to you? If you cant answer than try not to use the phrase in the future if you want me to take you seriously on it.

I find it really funny that neither you, who initiated the thread, nor Classic, who jumped on it, want to answer my question.

I believe you.

I don't believe you have taken me seriously on much of what I have posted. I will use it where I see fit.

Lefty radical extremism is the opposite of Righty radical extremism, that should help. Anytime you think, "man that is a radical right view", consider the same vew from a position 180 degrees in the other direction and you will know what I mean. I don't think that most people who consider themselves to be liberal think their views are radical as much as most people who consider themselves to be conservative would consider their views to be radical.

Just answered it.

No you didnt.

Forget about it.
