More on Left vs. Right dichotomy. Sep 7th 2006 Noon Balloon show on KSCO AM 1080

What started as a quick commentary on the “controversy” bubbling over the ABC commentary “Path to 9/11” turned into yet another discussion of the left-right dichotomy, and the nature and roots of fascism.  
WASHINGTON - A furious Bill Clinton is warning ABC that its mini-series "The Path to 9/11" grossly misrepresents his pursuit of Osama bin Laden - and he is demanding the network "pull the drama" if changes aren't made.

Same thing with the right bashing Da Vinci Code. And it opens yet another facet of the same view you expressed numerous times: Ultra left and ultra right are basically the same.
