I'm more or less a pragmatic centrist so I don't usually believe in extreme opinions no matter what the political ideology, but the US right seem to have a particularly hateful and ignorant bent.

I was mocking the fact that you didn't say anything other than a one line piece of rhetoric that is recycled every day by people that have no idea what they're talking about.

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.
