The far right and the far left can be equally insane. — © John Avlon
The far right and the far left can be equally insane.
I believe that the far-right and the far-left can be equally insane - but there's no question that in the first years of the Obama administration, the far-right has been far crazier. In part, this comes from parties being out of power - without the responsibility of governing to ground them, the activists and the ideologues take over.
We supporters of the two-state solution in Israel and Palestine are now under a fierce attack from the far right and from the far left in Israel and in Europe. If I were a paranoid, I would say that maybe the far left and the far right are coordinating a conspiracy.
I catch as much hell from the hard-core conservative people as I do the far left. The only difference is that the far right don't bring the hate to the table that the far left does. And that's my party. They just deal in so much hate. I mean the far left, not the Democrats, the far left really deal in hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.
We find just as many things to rip on the left as we do on the right. People on the far-left and the far-right are the same exact person to us.
I'm kind of right in the middle - I'm an Independent, not far Left or far Right. But I don't think everyone needs to know about that, do they?
As a university student and activist, I was attacked from all quarters from the far right to the far left.
The so-called 'far right' defends the working class far more than the left does.
I listen to the far left which informs the far right. Somewhere in the middle is where we end up.
We need to tell the far-right and the far-left to go away and have people in the center solve the problem.
Nor should we exclude the possibility that Islamic terrorism may begin to make common cause with Western political extremists of the far Left and far Right.
In any society, there will be the whole spectrum of views. You will get the extremists on the far right and also the far left.
I was taught as a young person that the far political right and the far political left aren't located on a spectrum but on a circle, where they inevitably meet in their extremity.
I'm too far to the left for some, too far to the right for others. I'm my own brand of comedy.
How far away is Heaven? It is not so far as some imagine. It wasn't very far from Daniel. It was not so far off that Elijah's prayer and those of others could not be heard there. Men full of the Spirit can look right into heaven.
I still think what the consumers are looking for is, number one, entertainment. They want to be entertained. It can be a liberal, a libertarian, or a conservative. It can be far-left or far-right. If they are entertained, they are going to tune in.
There is an anti-science by the far right. We have to be careful that the far left doesn't balance this with a naive approach of promising what we can't deliver. I mean, science is neutral; it's not politically conservative or liberal.
