re: #334 Adrenalyn

all those groups espouse a focus that THEIR group is special, elevated above all others

So, by your definition Preston Women’s Group and Day Centre is just like the nazis too (and thereby a bunch of raving commie pinkos)? Get real.

And the republican party does not define everything on the spectrum of the right any more than the democrat party defines everything on the spectrum of the left. There are extremes outsude both on each wing that are not the responsibility of either party. So why bother with the denials? A similary denialist lefty could argue all day about how Stalin violated every progressive left wing principle that they hold dear and so really should be considered a part of the authoritarian right - but what would be the point?
