That sounds extremely accurate, and not for the extremes either.

Newt Gingrich & Rush Limbaugh began the mantra of refusing to compromise on any position. They are anything but extreme and are really more the torch bearers. Rush was even awarded a Presidential medal of Freedom.

And sensitivity to issues of fairness is hardly an extreme position. That's probably the most mainstream belief associated with liberalism and just plain being a good human being.

What bias?

There are 2 ways to explain this: (1) the extreme left doesn't exist, or (2) the article is downplaying the extreme left.

I suggest that most (edit: not 'most' should have said 'some' or 'much') of the Left's actions are 'strident and uncompromising'.

The term 'White Supremacy' as it is loosely supplied is strident to the point of belligerence.

That said, I think the author roughly captured at least partly the spirit of the division.

Liberalism is not left wing, let alone extreme left. I dont understand your post.
