When Bush was in office, there was none of this far-left vs. "far-right" bullshit, because both those groups were on the same side, both trying to take down America. That's why Hugo Chavez, Rocky Suhayda, Tom Metzger, George Galloway, Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, and Eric Gleibe all sounded exactly the same. Here are some quotes, guess if they call from far-left or "far-right":
“Not only do I think [an allience] possible, but I think it is vitally necessary and I think it is happening already. It is possible because [our political] movement around the world and the Muslims have the same enemies. Their enemies are the Zionist occupation, American occupation, British occupation of poor countries, mainly Muslim countries. They have the same interest in opposing savage capitalist globalization, which is intent upon homogenizing the entire world, turning us basically into factory chickens which can be force-fed the American diet of everything from food to Coca-Cola to movies and TV culture and whose only role in life is to consume the things produced endlessly by the multinational corporations.”
"Here, I see a white man [John McCain], who is almost dead, who declares he wants to fight endless wars around the globe to make the world safe for [...]capitalist exploitation,[...] basically a continuation of the last eight years of Emperor Bush. Then, we have a black man, who loves his own kind, belongs to a Black-Nationalist religion, is married to a black women--when usually [negroes/African Americans] who have 'made it' immediately land a white spouse as a kind of prize--that's the kind of [negro/African American] that I can respect. Any time that a prominent person embraces their racial heritage in a positive manner, it's good for all racially minded folks."
"The corporations are running things now, so it's not going to make much difference who's in there, but McCain would be much worse. He's a warmonger. He's a scary, scary person--more dangerous than Bush."
"Behind the secession of the South from the Union, after Lincoln was elected President in the fall of 1860 as candidate of the new Republican party, was a long series of policy clashes between South and North. The clash was not over slavery as a moral institution-most northerners did not care enough about slavery to make sacrifices for it, certainly not the sacrifice of war. It was not a clash of peoples (most northern whites were not economically favored, not politically powerful; most southern whites were poor farmers, not decisionmakers) but of elites. The northern elite wanted economic expansion-free land, free labor, a free market, a high protective tariff for manufacturers, a bank of the United States."
Answer key:
George Galloway, Rocky Suhadya, Tom Metzger, Howard Zinn.
