What's the farthest of the Far Right you have ever seen?
I think the farthest I've seen is a person who doesn't like Pat Robertson because, get this, he's too tolerant and moderate.

:crazy:

How about you?

2. I live in 2nd most republican district in nation
Or so that's what my representative told me today when I met him.


Needless to say, it's difficult to find rational people let alone right of the right or whatever distinction you are making.

10. and think about it the unborn have no needs
the mother supplies their needs so GWB can be the first in line to
be responsible about someone who will never need his help.

11. That's about the size of it.
The Bush Motto: "Protected until birth, then you're on your own."

12. I truly believe this
Remember those thirsty babies looking into the camera in New Orleans,
where was all the Pro-Lifers then, they're all for theoritical babies,
they wouldn't provide 1 baby bottle of water for any of those babies.

14. Nope it's all about their obsession with fetuses.
They don't give a good god damn about real people. I suspect the fetal obsession has less to do with the potential person inside the womb as it does with controlling and oppressing the owner of the womb!

They hate the thought of a woman having control over her own body. That's all it boils down to.

hot and thirsy survivors of a hurricane but they can bring war to
a country near you.

5. I met a Belgian Nazi back in 1993. In Krakow Poland.
At a bar. He hated "fags", Jews, Liberals, Socialists, people with funny names, etcetera.

No shit we were probably one beer away from killing each other.

6. Thank God I've never met people like that, but they exist.
Howard Phillips. R.J Rushdoony. The League of the South. Osama bin Laden. I went searching on the web once for something I can't recall, and I came across a reference to a right-wing Fascist reference, and then I learned a bunch about a whole bunch of other far-right groups. Fascism is an understatement. You'd be surprised what believe still believe.

8. Back in the early 1970's...
...a buddy of mine and me would stop by the American Opinion (John Birch Society) bookstore once in awhile just for grins and giggles. No doubt about it, the Birchers were even loonier than wingnuts like Pat Robertson.

9. The people at my sisters church
They excommunicated me for not taking pictures of women entering abortion clinics so that they can print thier photos in the local paper. I thought this scheme was as about as right as right gets.

13. My own lunatic grandmother...
Edited on Sat Oct-01-05 10:35 PM by blue neen
who told me about ancestors who belonged to the Klan. "Oh, they weren't so bad. It was just people who went around burning crosses on the lawns of people who were shacking up." This was out of the mouth of someone who got married TWO MONTHS before she and my grandfather had their first child. :grr:

I don't have any problem with "shacking up" or when or if or who gets married. My grandmother, on the other hand, was the biggest hypocrite going which I think describes the farthest of the far right.

15. White supremacist Richard Barrett once called my office and I talked to
Edited on Sat Oct-01-05 10:32 PM by Rowdyboy
him. Barrett's the head of the "Nationalist Movement" and a really sick bigot who supports assholes like Edgar Ray Killen (preacher who helper kill three civil rights workers in 1963). Sadly, he lives in the south but he's from New Jersey.

http://www.adl.org/learn/ext_us/barrett.asp?LEARN_Cat=Extremism&LEARN_SubCat=Extremism_in_America&xpicked=2&item=barrett

Anyway, I worked for the state job service and he called to place a job opening for a secretary. I had to clench my teeth just to talk to the asshole but he made one mistake-he said "And don't bother sending me any colored girls....I ain't gone hire 'em anyway".

My response...."I'm sorry but federal law prevents me from accepting discriminatory job orders so I'll be unable to help you. I'm also obliged under regulations to report any attempt at a discriminatory job order to the Department of Labor. Have a nice day"......He did not call back, and I did report the sonovabitch but I don't know if anything was ever done.

27. It was a myraid of things
basically he kept on repeatting the republican spin on pro life and welfare and everything in the book. Finally when i was diagnosed with parkinson's he said I deserved it because I wanted to be an embryo farmer. That was the last straw.

17. I have seen the furthest outpost of rightism
and his name is Adam Yoshida. I doubt anyone who knows Adam Yoshida would disagree with me.

Banned from Free Republic for being "too extreme." I kid you not.

18. The first RW crazies I met were some Young Americans for Freedom
Edited on Sat Oct-01-05 10:44 PM by highplainsdem
that I'd run into at college more than 30 years ago. The comments they'd make about Democratic candidates were the kind of thing that even Free Republic usually censors. They were really pathetic faux-macho types. One kept a large gun collection in the trunk of his car, which I'm sure was overcompensation. I think all their bluster was overcompensation. One of the loudest was a porcine twit who resembled KKKarl Rove and had a high-pitched giggle. :puke:

19. My husband's aunt is pretty far gone.
When we took our then six-month-old baby to her house for a visit, one of the first questions out of her mouth was "Who is your ob/gyn? Does he perform abortions?" An eighty year old woman obsessed and worried about whether or not a particular physician she's never met has ever performed an elective abortion. I'd say that's about as wingnut as you can get.

Runner up: A nutcase in an office where I worked for a year kept an 8 X 10 glossy of the chimp and pickles on the wall of his cubicle. It was all I could do to refrain from tearing it down and feeding it into the shredder.

24. Previous job I had in 2001-2002
These examples are not even that bad:

Internal client had a calendar of Reagan. January - Reagan. Feb - Reagan & Nancy. Mar - More Reagan... I asked him about it and he showed me every month. I tried not to roll my eyes

Company Lawyer big-time repuke. At a company meeting, the CEO mentioned "Lawyer guy has to leave early because he's going to a dinner where he gets to meet President Bush." :puke::puke::puke: I thought to myself, "And this lawyer isn't just really really embarassed that people now know this? What a MORAN!!"

20. Maybe not the farthest right, but far enough that we ought to know who
he is.

This guys tremendous ego and close ties to Delay are bound to disclose some corruption somewhere. Rick Scarborough is definitely trying to make a name for himself.

From Texas Freedom Network's website:

Rick Scarborough
Scarborough is a Lufkin-based pastor with a long history of preaching politics from the pulpit. In 1996, National Public Radio called him "The Rising Star of the Religious Right" for his efforts to elect fundamentalist Christians and promote religious-right issues on the state and national levels. He has authored a number of books, including Enough is Enough: a Call to Christian Involvement, In Defense of Mixing Church and State and It All Depends on What Is...Is. In 1998, he founded Vision America, an organization that aims to “inform and mobilize Pastors and their congregations to become salt and light, becoming pro-active in restoring Judeo-Christian values in America.” The advisory board of Vision America consists of notable religious-right leaders from around the country. In 2005, Rick Scarborough launched the Judeo-Christian Council For Constitutional Restoration (JCCCR), a religious-right group created to push for limits on judicial oversight on religious and moral issues – essentially removing the checks and balances provision of the U.S. Constitution – and the impeachment of judges with whom the JCCCR disagrees. Scarborough has also been involved with a group of biblical literalists called the Dominionists who believe God has called them to take over the U.S. government, as noted in a Rolling Stone article entitled "The Crusaders."

22. my mother: John Birch Society member
...for many years. In the 60's said that MLK was "in with the communists", in early 70's worked to re-elect right/wing, scumbag, DINO Sam Yorty as mayor of L.A. against African-American Tom Bradley (she didn't even live in L.A.). Didn't want any of the kids getting sex education at school (Oh, and we got none at home).

My sister, is a R/W rabid, fundie Catholic...doesn't think Alan Keyes is too conservative to give an idea of her mindset.
