In your view, are there left fringe groups that mirror right fringe groups
   
Minutemen

Teabaggers

Megadittos

KKK

Various militia

etc.



Are there equally fringe groups on the left? They don't have to directly correlate.

Rush is a right wing fringe group?  :whatever:

There they go again, the primitives talking about a matter of which they know not.

On purely scientific standards of political ideology, "teabaggers" are utterly middle-of-the road.

Various "militia" and Minutemen are slightly to the right, but nowhere so far right as to be considered "extreme."

I dunno about fans of Rush Limbaugh; after all, it's very difficult to discern his political ideology.  I of course can't hear Rush Limbaugh, but I've read his books, and he strikes me as a person more interested in telling the blunt truth, rather than adhering to a particular political ideology.

As for left-wing extremist groups, no comment needed; the soil of this world has been fertilized over and over again with the blood of their victims.

The sparkling husband primitive is just being his usual stupid self; as with all the primitives, to the sparkling husband primitive, a "right-wing fringe group" is just anybody who doesn't adhere to his silly far-left beliefs.

The sparkling husband primitive, and most of the other primitives, couldn't even begin to describe any scientific standards of "right" versus "left."

I have encountered a few lefties who are the equivalent of extreme right-wing "Armed resistance" types; both sorts are few and far between these days, really.

I myself am way right-wing to the point of possibly being farther right than George Patton, but the difference between a far leftist and me is that I will defend said leftists rights to say or do whatever stupid crap to my death.  :usflag:

I suspect the sparkling husband primitive thought it up while trying to pass something the size of a watermelon when he was sitting on the commode in the bathroom in the basement.

Take a look at the idiot who did, and then it shouldn't surprise you.
