Nah, I wouldn't go that far. I think there's a very loud, obnoxious media tradition in the US that gives a particularly prominent voice to that sort of right-wing crazy, but there's lots of the same from the other side. It tends not to make the news as much, but there's some places where it's blatantly apparent. There are some legitimately extreme Marxists, anarchists, radical feminists etc. out there who are no less vocal. I've bumped into them no less than the right. And I say that even as someone who's well on the left side of things myself.
