How the Lunatic Fringe Is Hijacking America
Politics is the last place where we’re supposed to be satisfied between Brand A and Brand B,” says John Avlon, author of the new book Wingnuts: How The Lunatic Fringe is Hijacking America.
Hyper-partisans and rhetorical extremists on the left and the right—characters such as Reps. Alan Grayson and Michele Bachmann, commentators such as Keith Olbermann and Glenn Beck—are not simply polarizing the debate, argues Avlon, who is a regular presence on CNN and a columnist for The Daily Beast.
Reason.tv’s Nick Gillespie sat down with Avlon in Reason’s D.C. offices to talk to him about what is going on in American politics.
