    Father Coughlin was one of those interesting and scary guys who offered a cogent critique of elitism combined with strains of racism that undermined the egalitarian message.  Perhaps Lyndon Larouche would be a close contemporary analog.  It has become something of a truism these days that politcal ideology is not arranged on a spectrum ranging from "left" to "right" but rather a circle in which right and left meet at two arbitrary points we could designate as totalitarian and libertarian.  Face one way and you're left, face the other way and you're right.  But English is a funny language.  Whichever side of an issue you're on you think you're right, right?  Do we have the right to think that way?  What difference does it make?  We do it anyway.
