Thread: Factions the "Conservative Movement" could do without AKA Least Favorite Wingnuts

Well I am a Marxist, but am still going to vote here. Here is a view from the outside:

Most of us on any "wing" want what is best for people. There are a few exceptions - as I see it, they are:

Racists. Plain and simple. Supremacists of any kind give the right (and left, because that happens, too) a really bad image.

People who paint "the Left" with a broad, ugly brush. There is, as on the Right, a wide and varied range of opinions. There is no way to communicate with people going into the situation with a lot of assumptions - many of them wrong - and a lack of willingness to give them up when faced with something which runs contrary. (I think of Coulter, Limbaugh, and Savage here in particular. The combination of bombast and willful ignorance does no one any good. None of these people have an excuse for not knowing, as each of them has had every opportunity to mingle with all sorts. But they remain stuck in their rhetoric because that's where the money is for them. Too bad they are not servants of the truth - or even a bit of nuance - their voices carry, they could be working for a better place.)

Ultra Nationalists. There is a whole world out there, and we're part of it. We are in an integrated world economy now, and peeving the rest of the globe is not going to help anyone. Such laughable things as "Freedom Fries" make the entirety of a wing look idiotic.

Wayne LaPierre. Well, fear-mongers in general, really.

(and in the interest of fairness - on the left - Eco terrorists, racists, vegans, feminists who hate men.)
