Did you really say this?

I think he's describing the public perception of the far right and far left, and you (like I) are thinking of the actual right and left. The characterizations of the far right have gotten so out of hand that people end up calling National
Socialists a part of the right. Its a cute way of disassociating them from the left in the public mind, but its only Socialism with hate thrown in. And hate ain't a characteristic of the Right.
In sum, as he later noted, he's talking about the publicly-accepted characterizations.
On another note, there is a post on the other board where some columnist made the same point that Gatti's guy did, but on a broader scale. Basically saying that the Right needs to take its territory back and shove the pretenders back into their own camp and let them stew among their soul mates. For the record, I am not that columnist (and didn't completely agree with everything the guy wrote, particularly regarding the new needs of our nation).
