If there has been one thing that the right has been wildly successful at, it's moving the Overton window to the right. The looniest of the right-wing on-air personalities have pushed acceptable ideas farther to the right than they've ever been. The left hasn't been very effective in pushing the window back to the left because for a while we haven't really had any highly-visible crazies to push dialog back in the other direction. m -- Marc Carter, PhD Associate Professor and Chair Department of Psychology College of Arts & Sciences Baker University -- The information contained in this e-mail and any attachments thereto ("e-mail") is sent by Baker University ("BU") and is intended to be confidential and for the use of only the individual or entity named above.
