But the real far-right hates him. I'm not talking George Bush, John Boener, or even Rich Santorum. They are only far-right compared to us. The real far-right was Jesse Helms, Pat Buchanan, Helen Chenoweth, and the fringe of the Tea Party. They consider Newt to be the ultimate insider, can't stand how his favorite president is FDR, and don't like his police state stance.
