I know both sides probably have about the same, but in your eyes who has the most visible, do bloggers count? What about media pundits? Name as many as you can from each side

Currently the Right wing is the most blatant and visable. During the 1960's it was the Left wing radicals that were the most visible. It will change again, but for now the Radical Right Wingers
are more visible. Largely because of guys like O'Reilly, Hannity, and Limbaugh.

I believe the left. Even though today's right wing are just as bad, the left wants the govt to control almost everything we can think of.
I use to be Democratic for the longest time, but looking at some of their approach on issues makes me cringe. They are also very hypocritical and they tend to contradict themselves.
1. Many liberals want to get rid of the FCC. But tend to believe in Political Correctness in media and society. Many also support govt control over the media. ????
2. They talk so much about how the right wing doesn't support the constitution, but yet they are banning the freedom to express one's self and what they say, by using political correctness. They are trying to ban guns which violates the 2nd amendment. I'm sure that banning guns will do just as great of a job as the War on Drugs. Hey, we can call it the War on Guns. Guns are a right. How does that not violate the constitution? Govt control over media violates freedom of press. Another 1st amendment right. But noooo the left always believe in the constitution
3. The extreme left talks about the failure on the war on drugs and you hear liberals who want to legalize marijuana. But at the same time you hear liberals who want to ban tobacco. Does that not give the DEA more power, something they tend to go against? Now how do these activists expect the Democratic party to support legalization of marijuana, when they are bashing down on tobacco?
4. Many liberals want to control what we drink, what we eat, what we drive, what we do, etc. All in the name of Global warming, but yet these are the same people that in the 70s were talking about a new ice age.
The Right has its extremists as well, thanks to the NeoCons.
1. They violated the amendments by passing the patriot act. Allow illegal search and seizures on unexpecting american citizens.
2. They rant and rave about big govt, but at the same time give them so much control over are social lives. Bringing more taxes and bigger govt. As far as I know, they are just as bad.
3. I don't have a problem with patroitism but, they are by far overly patriot. This country could turn into a full communist impuralist nation and they would still be waving the flag talking about the freedoms and democracy we have here. If anyone says differently then they are anti-american.
4. They tell liberals that political correctness destroys the freedom to speak freely, but yet they use the FCC in media to control foul language and crude talk. Does that not violate freedom of speech as well?
These are just some of my views in the political spectrum of things, there are many more, which I intend on putting in my 360. Don't have it now but I'm working on it.

"The GOP has...um....um.....?!?! "
Let's see, they have Limbaugh, Hannity, Rush, Coulter, O'Reilly, Bill Bennett, Bill Donahue, Glenn Beck, Mona Charen, Michelle Malkin, etc
They love to talk about hanging people who disagree with the Deciderator and fantasize about blowing up more brown people.
They also have FOX and the non-existant press corp. which acts as stenographers for white house propoganda. They have all the major corporate networks which dutifully mouth their administration's claims without any scruitiny.

Most visible from the left are H. Clinton and N. Pelosi.
As for the right, some of the fundamentalist ministers qualify for being extreme.

Hillary and Pelosi are hardly extremists.

the right wing anti-gay protesters the phelps.
these are the guys who protest at military funerals because they think the usa is too tolerant of gays.
so, they bother grieving families who have nothing to do with their issue...

considering the right calls the left's moderates 'radical', I would say the right. By a long shot
