Stein's VP really IS the kind of "bomb throwing leftist radical" that Republicans claim Obama was. Now, when the whole world gets to see and hear Ajamu Baraka speak his mind, Republicans should be ashamed and should immediately apologize to Sanders, Hillary and ESPECIALLY Barack Obama for character assasination they've engaged in for all these years.
Maybe conservatives NEED a reminder of what a bomb throwing leftist radical really sounds like to remind them that Sanders, Clinton and Obama represent reasoned moderate views.
Bomb throwing?
Hyperbole much?
Miss quotation marks much?
I highlighted them for you this time, so that you would be reminded of the context they were used in.
Love ya Zeke, but you're all over the road this time.
I just think that the linear spectrum that portrays the Left-to-Right alignment is not doing justice to describe the philosophy, values and conduct of groups that wind up on the extreme ends.
If the horseshoe idea doesn't work for you, it doesn't work for you.
It works better for a lot of people for whom the linear scale doesn't because it seems to explain certain phenomena like the exodus from extreme left to extreme right which is well documented.
Lots of people think it's a natural function of age but I disagree because most people in the moderate portion of the spectrum stay pretty much in the same spot save for a traumatic experience such as Trump's candidacy, or a radical restructure of party agendas.
Thus they remain moderate liberals or moderate conservatives despite the change in party labels.
