Also, the Pinkertons kinda sorta put down people like the Vox Populi (worker's unions).

Well, to be fair to poor lil' horseshoe theory, there is one valid point. Everyone's political views overlap at one point or another, and that's what gets shit done in countries of today, people agreeing on the least offensive option. (And the horseshoe theory is just that; a theory. It's on paper only, it has yet to manifest; like black holes, there's some sliver of evidence they exist, yet people extrapolate from there.)

((Though black holes are infinitely cooler than political/ethical theory.))

I think I get why most people are deeply offended by the horseshoe theory. People view their political views as the 'morally right' way of doing things, and are offended when they are associated with their 'mortal enemies' or polar opposites.

 (Note: Me trying to be objective here, emphasis on trying. I agree with you totally, Space. Even if you are a filthy pinko left-wing Marxis-)
