Strange Bedfellows

Just two days ago, I wrote about how the War on Islamist Terror has united parts of the left and the right in support of democracy and against Islamist totalitarianism. Unfortunately, it has produced the same effect among opponents of the West's efforts to defeat the jihadists.

How much difference is there, really, between the far-Left, the far-Right, and overt white supremacists? How do the public stances of Michael Moore, Pat Buchanan, and David Duke compare?
