OMG - big image - a breakdown of the right vs the left. Not a perfect image by a long shot, but they do a decent job of finding ways to put things that give both sides credit.

The Republican Party isn't interfering with my life when they tell me it's ok for my coworkers to rape me and tries to stop me from having an abortion and wants to throw me in jail for being with my girlfriend?

That's as far as I got before I realized this graph is fucking insane.

Thankfully, I am not in either of these catagories or I might be annoyed at how they portrayed me.

Except the whole "interfere with" not being really all that accurate* (at all), it's otherwise accurate.

*abortion rights, gay rights, etc. beyond even those obvious ones, the lack of interference also results in a lack of justice (aka: being dismayed that KBR now can't hide when their employees get raped by other employees). that should be noted in the chart.

Something like this would work out better if it lacked the implied link to the American Democrat and Republican parties, neither of which seem to be firmly based on any particular political ideology.

My, what a lovely bunch of stereotypes you've got there.

I approve of the portrayal of the right wing in this graph. It's a lot nicer than what I'm used to seeing.

The right doesn't interfere with society and social lives?
In the US they want everyone to be christians and they want to play god. (Jews are okay with them because in their eyes Jews are just unenlightened christians.) They walk around with bibles in their hands and if you confront them on their bullshit they rub the bible and look up at god. They use religion like snake oil salesman. They interfere with society and social lives all right, they try to use religion to try to keep a tight grip around our throats and as an excuse for unconscionable positions.

Did he pull this from a 1950s textbook?
