The far-left in the US is still on the fringes -- the Democratic Party has, in an overall sense, a center-left (or even center-right by the standards of other Western democracies) platform.
On the other hand, the extreme far-right seems to be the core of the Republican Party these days. That's why the far-right is worse than the extreme-left -- one actually has some power and influence, whereas the other does not. On another political forum I visit, almost all of the rational fiscal conservatives have given up on the Republican Party because it's been taken over by the wing-nuts. There will almost certainly be a major schism in the party soon between the fiscal conservatives and religious conservatives.
