Conservative Democrat
After 1980, the Republicans became a mostly right-wing conservative party, with conservative leaders such as Newt Gingrich, Trent Lott, and Tom DeLay, while the Democrats, while keeping their core liberal bases intact with such Senators as Ted Kennedy, Christopher Dodd, and Paul Sarbanes, grew a substantial moderate/centrist wing, the New Democrats, in the 1990s in place of their old conservative wing, with leaders such as Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and Evan Bayh. In the 2010 midterm elections, many conservative Democrats lost their seats to the Republicans.
Anton Maegerle
Some Conservatives accuse Maegerle's work of containing a leftist bias because he makes nearly no distinction between Conservatives and Nazis, and criticize that he receives public money for this. For example, Maegerle defends the use of political correctness, and published an article in the left-wing newspaper "Jungle World" during the German federal election, 2002 in which he, as a SPD member, accused CDU chancellor candidate Edmund Stoiber of having ""best ties to the twillight zone of right-wing extremism"". The extremism researcher Eckhard Jesse has criticized Maegerle for "scent[ing] in the well-known Antifa manner almost everywhere right-wing extremists."
