Once opon a time, and Chomsky goes on about this too, it was predominently on the political right that raving loonies, fanatics, foaming zealots and crazed charlatans found a home. The right was off the scale and the left, the Democrats, weren't as bad. What's different today, is that the left and the Democrats have been revealed as being just as crazed as the rightwing and the Republicans, only their beliefs, faith and dogmas are a bit different, thir rhetoric slightly, only slightly, less deranged and unhinged, detached from reality. The left used to believe they were much smarter than the right. This was, perhaps, true, once opon a time. Not so today. The mainstream, corporate, left/liberals are every bit a stupid as the right, only they just believe in a different set of phantoms. They were never really against witch-trials, as long as the right witches were tortured, tried, and then burnt on the pyre.
