The distinction has been blurred at least in our parlance.
Back in my days of being a conservative Republican, "far left" meant "Communist", just as "far right" meant "fascist". That was back in the days when it seemed like our political discourse was a lot more grounded than today.
These days "far left" is bandied around to describe any liberal group, person or opinion. I don't even know what the adjective "far" in this context means anymore. What is "center left" or "moderate left"? And if liberal is the new "far left", as it seems to be from right wing rhetoric, what is Communist then, "Really really far left"?

Wow. I have to say I am shocked. I mean, make the Tea Party look more wacky, hateful and extreme than they already are? It seems like throwing a glass of water on a flood "to make it worse". How big is Levin's "movement"? Have there been any confirmed cases of his agents at work or is he just blowing smoke trying to look like he's important?
Regardless, A-Theist's knee-jerk denial based on the bare assertion that it must have been a leftist infiltrator to be laughable. The existence of some guy with a blog calling for this very thing makes it slightly more plausible but without any evidence to back the assertion, it's still ridiculous.
