The show is called “Left, Right & Center,” although a more appropriate title would probably be “Far Left, Right, Progressive & Democrat” with its current cast of Robert Scheer, Tony Blankley, Arianna Huffington and Matt Miller. But despite the title of the program, don’t use those partisan labels around Huffington.
On the Dec. 24 broadcast of KCRW’s “Left, Right & Center,” Huffington complained that the use of the political terms “left,” “right” or “left-wing” is preventing policymakers from solving “problems” because of the connotation tied to each of them.
“Well, I actually feel that it would make a huge difference to our ability to solve problems if we stopped sort of reflexively using the labels ‘left’ and ‘right,’ because right now for a position to be described as ‘left-wing,’ it’s really to marginalize and dismiss it,” Huffington said. “That’s how the mainstream media use the label and it’s being used reflexively and often completely idiotically to describe for example anyone who wants to leave Afghanistan. Immediately that position is described as ‘left-wing,’ even if it includes George Will, Pat Buchanan and Tony Blankley and the Cato Institute, etc., etc.”

The truth has a sting to it when you’re in denial.
OK! You're a communist with a weird accent.
Shut up and get out.
There is no Right and Left in politics anymore there is only Right and Wrong - and Huffy you’re wrong!
Neocom......
If you want to anger a conservative, lie to him.
If you want to anger a liberal, tell the truth...

No labels BS.
Gee maybe if she can post a column on Huff Po the conservative positions she supports. NOT!
Whether right, left or middle, Ariana is such a nasty piece of work she drove her husband to fling himself into the arms of homosexual lovers.
The left’s idea of “balance” is finding two or more liberals who disagree.
Regarding her accent, she always reminds me of Eva Gabor in “Green Acres”. Just the tone of voice, pronunciation, inflection, etc. reminds me so much of her.
How’s that for marginalizing someone, to think about a mindless TV show every time I see and hear her talking???
Ok Arianna, I’ll just call you a socialist. How does that work for ya?

...Sarah Spitz is the Producer of the Left, Right & Center Show. She's the journolister who wouldn't help Rush if he was dying of a heart attack right in front of her.
ok, your not LEFT wing, your DING wing....fits better....
I loved her, she was a good comedienne, usually right in disputes with Olivah.

Ah, she's marginalized herself. No one can stand hearing her talk, she's a buffoon.

She's right. "Fruitcake" would be more appropriate.
Maybe little commie better like the euphemism, “progressive”?
Lisa had a softer tone and fewer words, usually punctuated with a self effacing punch line.
Huffandpuff is grating, whiney, arrogant, and won’t shut up.
