Don't worry about that little graph. It has been around for a long time. It is alway brough out when it gets close to election time. It is a very poorly veiled attempt to distance the Democratic Party from Liberal thinking people. They do this because they have learned over the years, that America will not elect anyone who is a true liberal. The best way to try to get votes is to try to show yourself as a middle of the roader. Some even go as far as to claim that they are more of a conservatively leaning Democrat.

This is mainly due to the stigmata that has been placed upon the word "liberal".
Mostly by the other side of the fence, and partially, due to bad examples of that way of thinking.
Just as Bush isnt a good representation of his particular place on the polital spectrum.

Jeez, dude--can't you get past your biases long enough to make a cogent statement?

true fascists are moderately left leaning authoritarians. leftist just use nazi or fascist as a general term of abuse. on many economic issues national socialists and social democrats are quite close. ns tend to be more to the right on social issues and of course issues relating to national defense and identity, but they are far to the left of neo cons on trade and labor issues and probably generally to the left socially of religious right christian groups.
