No more extreme or racist in nature of those occupying...whatever.

As a rule, powerless socialists aren't racists. That happens after they get control.

How about the new black panthers guarding the voting booths?

Apparently, they aren't nearly as successful at boxing out voters as the right has been. Outnumbered, it seems.

Hmmm, I am sure we could list all the extremes of all groups couldn't we?...

Yep. For example, the anti-semitism found on both the left and right...
In April 2009, the San Mateo, California Republican Party chairman commented on an anti-Semitic graphic used to advertise a Tea Party event, saying “We strongly condemn the use of anti-Semitic imagery in the promotion of a recent event.”

At the same time, the extreme left is following the same path:

The lesson here, is that extremists tend to be bigots. Doesn't matter which side of the spectrum. I'm not claiming all marxists or all tea party people are like that. It's just that they attract people with that kind of thinking.
And yes there's a lot more racist stuff about blacks and Hispanics from the right and less anti-Semitism than on the left.
The stereotype that the extreme left hates Jews and the extreme right hates blacks and Hispanics was never universally true, but there's some basis in fact for it.

It was a valueless commentary on your part, you don't like me pointing that out I see. Sorry, I call'em as I see'em, that was a dumb post Barbie

Well, you've been wrong before, and I didn't rub it in. And I won't this time. Good thing I like you, Rocket.
