Except, when an extreme right-winger goes ballistic, nobody but a few dumb liberals notice. When an extreme leftist mouths off, the right wing media stooges spew it all over the place like this is representative of all mainstream moderate liberals and progressives. Rush Limbaugh is notorious for taking some deranged wacko feminist and pretending that she speaks for all feminists everywhere everywhen. And nobody ever calls him or them on this disgusting practice. As for the Polish reputation for stupidity - I have no clue whence it originates.
