The article contains the following statement:

>> Those who have termed this rightwing upsurge
>> "populism," are correct. "This is right-wing populism
>> in the classic American style, as inchoate and paranoid
>> as that hawked by Father Coughlin during the Great
>> Depression and George Wallace in the late 1960s," wrote
>> the Times' Frank Rich Sunday. 

Can people on this list explain to me why Father Coughlin (and Huey Long) were 
examples of "right-wing" populism as opposed to "left-wing" populism?  What 
made them right-wing as opposed to left-wing in your terminology?

Thanks as always.
