Quote

I guess intractable right-wing ideologues are my mortal enemy.

No, I do not identify with the right wing.

I grew up in a household that was very left wing.

I have equal contempt for both left and right radicals.

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

I am a person with leftist convictions, and always have been.

I'm a conservative kind of person. I don't think rightwing is quite the same thing. But I acknowledge my conservatism of temperament.

I reject that. I would rather recruit a Racist left winger than a right winger.

I am neither left wing nor right wing. I am middle-of-the-bird.
