years ago, bill maher use to argue w/republican guests that the GOP had far more crazies than the left. the reds use to dispute this w/all means of ka-ka excuses but...now...it seems to be a feature. and their future.

even years before that, bill buckley pointed out, “You know, I’ve spent my entire lifetime separating the Right from the kooks.”

well, he's dead now...so...

In 1968, Buckley debated Gore Vidal. Here's the most famous part of that debate:

BUCKLEY: No, I won’t. Some people were pro-Nazi and, and the answer is they were well treated by people who ostracized them. And I’m for ostracizing people who egg on other people to shoot American Marines and American soldiers. I know you don’t care—

VIDAL (loftily): As far as I’m concerned, the only pro- or crypto-Nazi I can think of is yourself. Failing that—

SMITH: Let’s, let’s not call names—

VIDAL: Failing that, I can only say that—

BUCKLEY (snarling, teeth bared): Now listen, you queer, stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I’ll sock you in your goddam face, and you’ll stay plastered—

Vidal was right about the Right, only he was about 50 years ahead of his time.

No sir.
The rest of the nation has been 50 years behind the times. Vidal was right about the right right then.
