I think she's pretty careful to let Beck and the rest do the literal shootin' talkin'.
Well, her handlers are.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Definitely Baader Meinholf. But those are all sixties and seventies.
What about those MOVE people in Philly in the 1980's? (I really don't know much about them. I vaguely remember them because there was a bombing right before LiveAid.)

But here's a question. Were any of those groups able to get people elected to national office, or anything but denounced by mainstream politicians/media?

Exactly, DJ.

They were the bombees, not the bombers.

I don't think that they aimed to get people elected, did they?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I think that's the thing. Of COURSE there are violent crazies on the fringe of any political position. ("Crazies" not to indicate actual mental illness, here.) But they are not generally taken seriously by the mainstream.

I just refreshed my memory of MOVE. They were basically a massive neighborhood nuisance, had killed one cop when their place was raided, got into another standoff when city cops tried to evict them, and then the city dropped a bomb that started a fire destroying 200 homes. So, violent? Somewhat. Nationally powerful? Don't think so.

And taken seriously by the mainstream=becoming part of the culture/society that we all participate and live in.

Yes, and I'm sure some of the animal rights fringe that blew up/rescued lab animals counts as lefty fringe...but again, one part of the party being so fractured is that wasn't exactly a huge platform and endorsed.
