The ultra-right are a bunch of irrelevant nutcases. You can play intellectual target practice all day long, if it's fun for you (it is to many, and I can see the appeal), but I don't see the point at a practical level.
America has an ultra-right populist strain, but that strain is waning. Some decades ago a right-wing terrorist organization ran half the Democratic Party and a whole region of the country. In the 90s they LARPed around in camo gear and blew up a building. Today someone shoots an abortion doctor and a bunch of townsfolk call Obama a racial epithet or two and liberals think it's impending fascism.
The Palins are loud, as they always are under a Democratic administration, but in decline. The Greenspans and Kissingers of the world are about as strong as ever, and in both parties.
