"Right wing extremist"

[SocialistLez]

That's from someone's bumper sticker.

I went to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things and seeing that bumper sticker made me want to puke.

I'm surprised the guy didn't run me off the road with my " It's still a good thing" and "Universal single-payer health care!" bumper stickers. He was behind me at the light (I know because I kept a mental picture of the truck in my brain). I looked back in my side mirror and he looked disgusted as he came up behind me.

Maybe I'm paranoid it was my bumper stickers.

In any case, I can't believe some people are PROUD to be a "right-wing extremist." :puke: :puke:

1. It's a leftover from that flap about the DHS report on Right Wing extremism

...the one that was warning about new McVeighs and known extremist groups recruiting people with military skills, but which the noise-making lunkheads (Hannity, Beck, Limbaugh, Bachman, Palin, etc.) spun as calling anyone even mildly conservative or critical of Obama a "right wing extremist".

One of my co-workers is like that. Put up a note on her cubicle saying "I'm one of those Right Wing Extremeists you've been warned about". Even though she'll agree with (known lefty) me a good 85%-plus, but she thinks of herself as "conservative" so she falls for that crap time and time again.

2. in any other country...

the extreme right used to be known (for most Americans) as, anti-democratic, fascist, xenophobic, racist, nazi-like, terroristic bad guys.
