I'm not massively fond of right-wing nutters or war criminals.

They're anti-government ideologues who dominate the Republican Party.

There's a nastiness out there that wants to harm me with words. These are my enemies - the ideologues, the populists, the columnists who don't like the fact that I take them on toe-to-toe. What I try to do is tell the truth. It's not the coin of the realm in politics.

I'm as left-wing as you can get.

A left-wing idiot is as dangerous as a right-wing idiot.

At the end of the day, Americans are not so keen on ideologues, people who have such fixed positions that they can't see any virtue in the other side's point of view.

No, I do not identify with the right wing.

Because I have an opinion, I have become public enemy number one to the Fox News Channel and the right wing.

The arrogance of the Left always fascinates me.
