All they've done is redefine "moderate."

TB — 3/9/2009 1:57:45 PM (archived)

Obama, with his past, his voting record, and current political agenda, is now a "moderate." ER says there are no Marxists in America any more, and Art raises him by saying there isn't even a "significant radical left."

Your list isn't going to change their minds. Those are all in their political center.

This technique isn't new. I used to call this the "Moebius" political spectrum. All it has is a far right.
