I decided to perform a little experiment. I asked Google to search the New York Times website for the phrase “far right.” It returned roughly 79,000 results. Then I searched for “far left” and got 14,000 hits. (Even that comparison exaggerates the Times’s enthusiasm for the latter expression. Scan the results for “far left” and one repeatedly encounters the phrase not in the Times‘s own voice but inside quotation marks, attributed to Donald Trump or someone in his administration.) If the mainstream media is to be believed, then America and Europe are suffering from a remarkable political asymmetry. The far right is everywhere, while the far left is mostly something Republicans claim exists.

“Far right” is what Communists call non-Communists.

Has it been determined that they actually won? I read last night that mail in voting changed the results.

44% is huge landslide in Germany with proportional representation.

Well, when in company one enjoys tweaking, try to remember to say “the KKK-affiliated Democrat party,” when referencing anyone who is a Democrat.

I’ve asked a number of Lefty Europeans to define “Far” Right. What positions SPECIFICALLY. Don’t give me insinuations and mutterings about Hitler, Nazis, Fascists, blah blah blah. Tell me SPECIFICALLY what positions are merely right of center and what positions are “Far” right.

They can’t. They have no definition. Whatever position they claim makes you “far” right shifts over time and what was previously “Far” right 5 years ago is mainstream now.

Its not a definition. Its just a smear.

Wikipedia defines Breitbart as a “Far Right News Website.”

You can’t hate these people enough.

I think every single MSM outlet - CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, etc. - said that “Far Right” party AfD won the election. Every single one of them. Yet if you listen to AfD politicians, they are remarkably centrist. They aren’t even that “Right” much less “Far Right.” They want sanity in immigration. That’s it.
