Those on the far right have just gone nuts in an obsession to attack President Obama and anyone even remotely leaning to the left.
Honestly, the extremism from the right is so extreme that we have seen an emergence of fringe politicians who even a few years ago would have been laughed out of races. Not anymore, these extreme candidates are finding a home in the GOP.
One prime example is Carl Paladino, a Republican candidate for governor of New York.
Here is an excerpt from a report from Media Matters for America. I would advise you to go to MMA's Web site and check out all of the craziness coming from this man.
Here is a tease:
New York GOP gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino recently said he didn't want children "brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid and successful option" as "getting married and raising a family." Right-wing pundits have since defended his remarks, calling his comments "dead on the money," "defensible," and "[not] bad at all."How does a man like this get even remotely close to being governor of New York? It's crazy.
