    Nice summation, though I thought they were re-education camps not internment camps. Guess I need to get up to date on my nomenclature.

    They've been called both, actually. I don't think there is that much of a meaningful difference between the two words, used in the sense that Bachmann and others intended.

    Yup the far-right has adopted the far-left perspective and the far-left has adopted the far-right perspective on many of these. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Both the far-left and the far-right are extreme wings.

    “Both the far-left and the far-right are extreme wings.”

    Well, many have to look before they leap rhetorically, because to them everyone right of Barbara Boxer (or Dennis Kucinich) is “right wing” or “far right” (interchangeable terms!). But with the real far right and far left, the “spectrum” seems to be not a line, but a circle — “so far left or right they could be on the other end, too.”
