That was a pretty easy quiz, wasn't it? Even without the answers, it's easy to tell the difference between the real LGF and the leftist/green/fascist group.
If I wanted to make the quiz harder, I'd ask you to guess whether David Duke or Noam Chomsky said one thing or another. So many left/green/fascist extremists speak with the same voice lately. It's hard to tell them apart. Posted by Mary at April 13, 2004 04:04 PM
