The sheer stupidity of it makes my head hurt.

(Daily Caller) — Is it possible to be so far to one side ideologically that you overlap to the other side? In 20th century Europe it was thought by some that a left-wing movement — communism and a right-wing movement — fascism overlapped or were the same thing. However, HBO host Bill Maher has a different idea of such an overlapping — that a movement is “right-wing” by definition because it is radical.

On HBO Friday night airing of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” during the “Overtime” Internet-only segment, Maher expressed some concern about the Egyptian revolution leading to a transfer of power into the wrong hands. He doubted the scenes from Tahrir Square were representative of Egypt as a whole. . . .

“I suppose people would say the Russian Revolution was hijacked by the left-wing,” Maher said. “I think when you go that far left — you’re really the right-wing. I consider Lenin and Stalin right-wingers. Don’t tell Rush Limbaugh.”
