When I was starting, in the 1970s, much of the right wing
infrastructure didn't exist yet. They were just building it. But now,
it's enormous. It really has a dominant influence on our discourse, our
thoughts and our policy agenda. And the old liberal institutions that
used to exist have come to be overshadowed by these right-wing groups
that are very noisy and very focused and very ideological. I think you
are going to see more liberals starting to fight back against that and
assert themselves more. In a way that can only enrich the political
dialogue that we have which is now very monochromatic, and in my
opinion, dull. [2004]
