The wingers try to convince others that Democrats and liberals have become extremists but that's not the case. In fact, it's the GOP that's moved further to the Right since the 70s, as Harold Meyerson pointed out in the WaPo:
Nationally, the party is dominated by Southern neo-Dixiecrats. In their book "Off Center," political scientists Jacob Hacker and Paul Pierson compared congressional Republicans of different eras and concluded that a Republican House member in 2003 with a voting record that placed him at the median of his party was 73 percent more conservative than the median GOP member of the early '70s.
