I sometimes really enjoy Bill O'Reilly, who calls himself middle of the road. He is a moderate conservative, in my opinion, not middle.
That is interesting because I would not have placed O'Reilly in the "moderate" camp. Can you indicate one position that he holds which is moderate? And by contrast can you explain what would be required for that position to be extremely conservative?

Re: Off Topic
I was not aware that he thought Clinton's fiscal policies were good. I see where you could put him in the "moderate" camp. I think that with this one example I would put him in the "not completely wacked-out" conservative column but still an extremist. I remember one discussion about illegal drugs and he pretty much stopped just short of advocating shooting anyone who uses illegal drugs in the street. (I'm sure I can't find a reference for that particular radio show so don't even ask. )
I think that Contra may have a point about what is "extreme" and what is "partisan". I expect that much of what I think about him is probably partisan and not necessarily extreme.
