Sen. Larry Craig "looks at bums"

Bah. Liberals are rightists. Socialism is the way

The US completely lacks perspective when it comes to what's right and what's left... Liberalism is centre-right to right. Republicans are extreme right. Social democracy is centre-left to left, while "generic socialism" is leftie and "revolutionary socialism" is(usually) extreme left...

The democrats are rightists, and the repubs are extreme rightists.

There, got it all sorted out

So, the "liberal media" belongs centre-right to right, they are not leftists. You may say that about the media in europe, however. The media in the US are absolutely NOT socialists/leftie, but they may or may not have a bias for the democrats, but would then be centre-right at best.

You're quoting an avowed Marxist from Europe to help define where the American political spectrum lies? All of a sudden, I'm coming to understand how John Edwards calls himself a moderate with a straight face.

Back on topic, while I personally don't think Senator Craig should be getting shoved out the door for his behavior, you compare his case and Rep. Mark Foley's treatments to say somebody like Mel Watt and you see one of the big differences between Republicans and Democrats.
